We are taking a two day trip to West Virginia tomorrow. I've become such a homebody, or an agoraphobe? That going anywhere makes me uncomfortable. But West Virginia is a special case. I like mountains, but not the highways that run through them. Deer are getting frisky and the highways become littered with mangled carcasses; what happens to the vehicles, where do they end up? Trying to make the best of it in a sometimes troubled marriage. Thinking I should remind my son where the will is.

What did Gary Seven say about dying in car crashes?

Well, I hope it was beautiful. Fall color viewing? I would hate an arrangement like that--I need privacy and defended space. Those poor people they were built for!

It's really hard to half to change a schedule that drastically. I think there are studies about people who have to rotate shifts, to their detriment. When I'm working, even though I don't work every day, I have to keep waking up at 4:45, and I never get enough sleep. It affects my short term memory.

between dry weather and the overcast, the colors were not brilliant. Close up in the woods there were bright spots, but I was hoping for brilliantly colored mountain sides and that we didn't have. I did not realize the drought and dry conditions spread that far south of us. Maybe it's the entire east; I'm not sure.

The houses were built in the very early 1900's; they're solid but yes not a lot of privacy. My house had a similar purpose when it was built; it was a rooming house for railroad workers. At least each room has its own access.

I always run into this with medical appointments; anything that has t do with the daytime world. I do not understand the cruelty of a rotating shift.

How is the baby?

Saw on Instagram--it was lovely, but not breathtaking. When I went through there was redbud and dogwood.

That's so interesting about your house!

Yeah, rotating shifts are crazy, but there were people around here that worked them their entire working lives.

Oh, she's so cute. She's lost most of her newborn dreaminess--very attentive and responsive (even as a newborn, she was pretty alert). I'll send a new round of pictures.
