I’m trying to motivate myself to get my Microcomputer Accounting homework done so please accept this picture as my post today. My mom took it when we were at a local pumpkin patch with Daniel’s class.

31 Days of My World As It Is Sung: The Simple Woman’s Daybook for October 22, 2017
For Today… October 22, 2017
Looking out my window… still a little cloudy but more sun than we’ve seen in a week. We had lots of rain and strong winds that knocked over planters in the yard.
I am thinking… my Electronic Communication assignment that is due tomorrow.
I am thankful… for fun at my grandma’s birthday party last night.
One of my favorite things… salami and brie baguettes from Haggen.
I am wearing… charcoal fitted tee from Old Navy and jeans. Church clothes were the tee paired with black slacks, my black cardigan, and black flats.
I am creating… reports in Sage. Whee!
I am reading… Reddit subs.
I am hoping… the Internet stays functional. It was spazzing last night and this morning.
I am learning… best practices for Skype.
In my kitchen… leftover stinky cheeses from my cousin’s wine and cheese 50th birthday party last weekend. Mmmmm… Cambozola!
In the school room… I get to go to the pumpkin patch with Daniel this week for school.
Post Script… some commentary on Patheos giving Mark Driscoll some blogging space.
Shared Quote… For those who saw all the #MeToo statuses on Facebook:

For Today… October 15, 2017
Looking out my window… dark. It was in the low 60’s F this afternoon when we were sitting out and talking before Sunday dinner. It was really mostly in the 50’s F today with the exception of that time.
I am thinking… about the assignments I have due this week. It’s not a bad load but I do need to get it done. Mostly, I need to do Skype stuff with one of my Electronic Communications teammates before Saturday.
I am thankful… for my nap this afternoon. It was heavenly, even if it meant my PE reading didn’t get done before Sunday dinner.
One of my favorite things… sleep. I’m wishing I was asleep instead of up with the kiddo getting a late night snack.
I am wearing… jammies. Church clothes were a long-sleeved charcoal heather shirt, black slacks, my black flats, and my grey hoodie because it ended up being cold in the church.
I am creating… discussion posts for PE, this entry, and reports for my Sage class.
I am listening to… the sound of the Cheerios scraping against Daniel’s bowl.
I am hoping… for a productive day tomorrow.
I am learning… best practices for Skype and video-conferencing.
In my kitchen… Dad made pasta, sauce, meatballs, and salad tonight. Mom contributed an apple pie with apples from the family orchard in Burlington.
In the school room… Daniel’s class gets to go to the pumpkin patch next week!

31 Days of My World As It Is Sung: Autumn Quick Takes
Surprise surprise. This is just proof that… CLEVELAND’S SPORTS TEAMS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(HT: Yahoo Sports)
I guess I can go back to fully hating the Yankees now…
What the eff?!?!?!? An African-American man swings a flashlight at a white supremacist trying to spear him and another man with a Confederate flagpole, gets kicked to the ground, beaten almost to death… and is charged with a felony in his own beating. I swear, I am not making this crap up and IT IS PISSING ME OFF!!!!
Definitely autumn. It is seriously too freaking cold in the mornings and I’m going back to bed and falling back asleep because I’m trying to get warm. Alas, this is screwing with my productivity. *grumps*
Some hopeful “news”. It turns out that the supervolcano below Yellowstone National Park could spring to life quickly, erupt, and destroy life as we know it. Yeah… been hearing that on the Discovery Channel for 10 years, Fox News. Oh wait… a UFO has been spotted above it? That’s actually slightly more believable than the normal crap y’all report.
Harvey Weinstein. This is an excellent piece on why women don’t fight back or speak up when they’re harrassed.
How pro-life of him. 45 is threatening to pull hurricane relief efforts from Puerto Rico. Apparently, he doesn’t like being told that his measly efforts are craptastic, and that throwing a roll of paper towels at people or purposely misprounouncing the island’s name is immature.. Cry me a freaking river, dude. 80% of the island has no electricity and people are homeless. I know you didn’t carry the territory in the 2016 election (are they even allowed to vote for the president?), but they deserve the same level of relief that Texas and Florida are getting.
One more baseball take. I’m waiting with bated breath to find out who gets to knock the Losers in LA out in the NLCS. C’mon Cubbies! Mama wants you to go on to #BeatLA!!!

For Today… October 8, 2017
Looking out my window… dark. It started out chilly today and got up to 63F around noon. It’s now down in the low 40’s.
I am thinking… about the publicity stunt the Vice-President pulled today. He needs to reimburse taxpayers for the money he wasted. My friends who are vets (Iraq and Afghanistan) think he and 45 are both tools and point out every freaking time they are asked that they served and fought to protect the athletes’ right to protest so THEY DON’T CARE.
I am thankful… for everything going well with worship today.
One of my favorite things… being warm. I haven’t been lately. For some odd reason, I can’t deal with the drop in temperatures — I don’t know if the house is just colder or what.
I am wearing… jammies. Church clothes were a berry-colored long-sleeved shirt from Old Navy, black slacks, and black flats. I switched out the slacks for jeans after church and spent the rest of the day usually barefoot.
I am creating… reports for Sage.
I am watching… the news.
I am hoping… Daniel sleeps through the night tonight.
I am learning… how to do transactions for a cash business in Sage
In my kitchen… I made beef stroganoff and noodles for Sunday dinner. Mom took care of the salad, beans, and pie.
In the school room… Daniel was asking to go to school when my alarm went off yesterday and today. It was adorable!
Post Script… the reason you tie shoelaces for people as a doctor.

For Today… October 1, 2017
Looking out my window… sunny now though it was raining earlier and we’ve had a few days of good rain. Weather.Com says it’s 50F and I believe them.
I am thinking… about my Doodle assignment this week.
I am thankful… for classes I like this quarter.
One of my favorite things… when my sports teams win. My Giants beat San Diego and I’m hoping my Niners can beat Arizona.
I am wearing… a grey heather long-sleeved shirt and jeans. Church clothes this morning were a blue-grey long-sleeved shirt, black slacks, and black flats.
I am creating… various Doodle polls.
I am listening to… classical music on a DISH Network channel
I am hoping… Daniel’s appointment with the Autism Center at Seattle Children’s Hospital this week goes well. We’ve been waiting for this appointment for a very long time. (The waiting list for an appointment is over a year long.)
I am learning… about email best practices.
In my kitchen… coq au vin is cooking.
In the school room… Daniel continues to love school.
Post Script… Tesla’s aid to victims of Hurricane Maria.

The Simple Woman’s Daybook: September 24, 2017
For Today… September 24, 2017
Looking out my window… sunny and in the low 60’s. We will probably have rain tonight which is lovely.
I am thinking… about money and faith for my CDSP class on church finance.
I am thankful… for my amazing parish and how they welcomed Daniel this morning when he came to church with me for the first time in 3 years. (I was one of the readers and had choir duties so I had to be there.) I brought his tablet and headphones and he largely chilled while I was up front. Everyone was also really respectful of whether or not he could handle crowds and greeted him warmly.
On his part, he didn’t have any meltdowns, didn’t race up and down the aisles, and was reasonably quiet. It was such a nice change from 3 years ago when I wanted to be anywhere with him EXCEPT church.
One of my favorite things… a calm Sunday afternoon.
I am wearing… a black fitted tee and jeans capris. Church clothes were a long-sleeved black shirt, jeans, and my running shoes. (I didn’t know whether my kiddo would need a walk during the sermon or not ad my black flats are not conducive to that.)
I am creating… discussion board posts for my classes.
I am listening to… various High Kings songs on YouTube.
I am hoping… to stay caught up on everything this week.
I am learning… some of the national and diocesan canons that have to do with money and finances.
In my kitchen… had some Kashi cereal for lunch.
In the school room… Daniel continues to do well and his writing is improving.
Post Script… I recommend this amazing piece on Rich Mullins.
