    Glad we went yesterday. The smoke from the Bear Gulch Fire is so bad today you can hardly stand to be outside.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    A while ago I dug up two axeheads on my property, which was built in the early 1800's. My husband just put a handle on the hewing axe head and it looks awesome:

    That looks great, Tybee!

    Made the executive decision that I am taking off tomorrow for my birthday. Have nothing planned but a boring day at home is always better than any kind of day at work.

    It is definitely the coolest thing I have found on the property! I like to imagine it is what they used for framing the barn.

    When I was working I always took my birthday off and did whatever the heck I wanted. It was the best gift ...from me to myself!

    I have become very disenfranchised at work so taking my birthday off seems like self care for my mental health.

    The axe is very cool, Tybee. You guys are good custodians of history.

    I'm another one who always took my birthday off. Sometime it fell on Patriot's Day, and I used to enjoy telling my employees that they all got my birthday off as a paid holiday!

    For the first time in weeks, I didn't have to bring any work home for the weekend. No air freight. No files to do to get ahead for Monday. Lovely. Making spaghetti now and going to read and veg.
