Happy birthday to the telescope.

Why yes, I'm married to an astronomer, why do you ask?

I went to a private boarding school for high school. It was an escape for me and got me out of two pretty awful situations. I have lots of fond memories of that time in my life.

Today I lost my high school ring. I am upset all out of proportion to the loss of a piece of jewelry. Maybe my reaction is so bad because I am so very short on sleep.

I was up until 1:00 am because I couldn't sleep. At 1:00 a.m. the neighbors tree came down and blocked the street entirely. It missed all power lines and all cars. I called the police department so they would know in case they needed to send emergency services to our neighborhood. One hour later (2:00 am) the town was out under our bedroom window running a chain saw and a wood chipper to remove the tree. They were done by 3:00 am. All of which means that I didn't get to sleep until after 3:00 am. Hence the exhaustion.

Happy Birthday fajitas. May it be everything you want in a birthday.

Sunday morning I was wiped. I had responsibilities at church so I had to go anyway. With the kidlet at a Boy Scout camp out I was going alone so I decided to go early enough to make the Adult formation class I’ve been trying to make all year. Yet again I was late. I went out to get in to my car and saw a jeep that had stopped in front of out house take off. This made me curious because I have a small paranoid streak. As I came around the corner, standing there in all their glory in front of my garage were 2 magnificent white tailed deer. They stood there for 20 minutes watching me. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was. One of them stood there looking me in the eye the entire time. Man are they big. The finally galloped off through the backyards of the neighborhood and I got in my car to head to church. Amazingly they decided to run through the front yards along the route I needed to take to church so I got to travel and watch them for a while. Needless to say I was traveling very slowly as I didn’t want them to take it into their heads to dart out into the street and encounter my unforgiving car. What a wonderful way to start a Sunday.
