Thanks to Andrea for the pic.
New Sweater
Annie Oakley!
Bela and I had shooting practice again yesterday. We ended up having a “shoot out” with our teacher. Bela won. I got to shoot with my right hand as well as my (non-dominant) left. My dad would be proud because we both shot in the black. Not too bad!
Sorry that it’s turned to the side.
This is Bela’s winning card.
I shot this with my right hand.
Magical Moon
Forgive the quality of the photo, but I did what I could.

Learning the World
Since I’ve been blogging, I have learned a lot about the world. My humble blog has had views from a few places I’d never heard of before. Today it was Mayotte.
Every time I see a place I don’t recognize, I make a point to find out about it. I love to investigate and research, so spread the word (and the blog link) around so I can continue to learn new things!
Yuck!
I’m sure most people know how I feel about needles. Fortunately, Ysabela is fine with having blood drawn. I leave the room every time the “mosquito” person enters the room. I know my limitations.
Due to running out of her thyroid meds, Bela’s numbers were all out of whack—totally my fault for not getting her there on time for blood work and a refill. We have the prescription in hand and an appointment for exactly one month from today. This will be back under control ASAP. Nobody’s perfect.
Massage
I had the chance to have a leisurely day yesterday. I enjoyed the luxury of sleeping late, sipping my coffee and checking email while the rest of the inhabitants of the house continued with their beauty sleep. After my initial slothfulness, I took a shower, loaded trash and headed to my only appointment scheduled for the day (unless you count a hungry horse). You may wonder why I showered before taking out the trash. Good question, but relatively simple to answer. I had an appointment for a massage at 11:30.
A lady in town operates Sandhills Horizon Massage. She, Rebecca W., was kind enough to offer teachers a free 30-minute massage! I wasn’t about to let my certificate expire! I learned that the muscles in my forearm were stuck together. I spend a lot of time writing and typing, so it makes sense. My session was so very relaxing that I plan to make it a regular treat. My daughter will enjoy one in the very near future.

Sleepy, Snuggly Saturday
Jinx sure looks comfy.
Bela just had to bring that panda downstairs.
Free Stylin’
It was really nice to check my closet this morning and find something I wanted to wear. Ever since my trip to Maurice’s, it’s been less stressful getting ready for school. I combined something “old” with something new. Thanks to Grace for taking this picture.
Me Again!
Excuse the clutter, but I was pressed for time, so I made Bela take this picture.
