Picking up the pieces

We are trying to get back to normal here. Classes begin Friday. Naomi went in Monday to discuss switching programs. She was told no problem but when she tried to register yesterday, all sorts of error codes popped up. After numerous phone calls and e-mails, it looks like she might have to sit this semester out. We are making one last ditch effort...

My poor garden is quite neglected. Being attacked by swarms of mosquitoes has limited my time out there. One bright spot: my bromeliad, an air plant which looks almost dead must not be as it is sending up pink and purple blossoms.

It was in the high 40s yesterday morning, perfect for a long run. I've become so puffy and lethargic  in the last few weeks, I hope this will help. Although it is supposed to be 92 later today, it still felt cool this morning.

I did not feel the earthquake as others did yesterday. Shanna being on the 5th floor in a building in Boston felt the bed she was sitting on shake. Hurricane Irene is coming her way.

Ceiling: I loved the swirling lights. It gave the room a magical aura. Most of the pix I posted for these past 2 days is from one of the Moms. I am grateful for her 170 photos
