Well, actually I *think* I will still be going on vacation, but there's more aide drama -- why does this always seem to happen around my vacations? -- and I'm going to feel guilty leaving my sister to deal with it, even though she's telling me to go. Life can just be hard sometimes! I … Continue reading Why can’t I go on vacation?: 10/10 – 16 WRD

All About Letting Go: 10/3 – 9 WRD
This week Yom Kippur fell mid week. Yom Kippur is about atoning for your sins, and asking forgiveness for the same. You are supposed to fast for 24 hours -- including no drinking. At all. We do fast, but we both drink. I'm sure God will forgive me for not wanting to be dehydrated. That … Continue reading All About Letting Go: 10/3 – 9 WRD

Looking for Color: 9/26 – 10/2 WRD
While I didn't get a major reaction to the booster, it seems it's not done with me.

I am trying to catch the Fall color, but yes, it's early days … Continue reading Looking for Color: 9/26 – 10/2 WRD

Thank you, Pfizer!: 9/19 – 25 WRD
Yes, I got boosted. All my other shots have been Moderna, and I had horrible reactions to them and ongoing fatigue and sometimes joint pain for weeks afterwards. This time there was just a very slight reaction and I felt relatively back to normal pretty quickly. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner … Continue reading Thank you, Pfizer!: 9/19 – 25 WRD
Cutting back: 9/2 – 18 WRD
It was a week filled with errands and appointments for both myself and Mr. Judy. I had planned to go see my mom, but between the weather, her schedule, and ours, there wasn't really a day available. Not great for my mom but good for me. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, … Continue reading Cutting back: 9/2 – 18 WRD
Missed opportunities: 9/5 – 11 WRD

It helps to be home! I am, however, writing this post on Saturday, LOL, … Continue reading Missed opportunities: 9/5 – 11 WRD

Despite the very warm stay at my moms, I rallied back this week -- which still only meant two days of running, but it is what it is. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and grateful to be feeling better -- I think some cooler weather for a couple of days helped; … Continue reading More firsts: 8/29 – 9/4 WRD
