Game Changers

There are quite a few things in my life right now that have been game changers...

1. The Mr. being able to get in and out of bed has been huge. Sleeping is now possible--for both of us.

2. Book Clubs in Sophomore English. Six novels were offered, and they chose the one they most wanted to read. Other students reading the same book formed a discussion group. I gave them the beginning and ending dates and they determined how much they needed to read each day. They liked this. I liked this. They take the writing test this coming week. I'm hoping they do well. We'll see about another go round.

3. Groceries that can be ordered online and picked up at the curb has been amazing. I spend less time and money. Someone else gathers and bags my groceries, and there is no impulse shopping. Now, when they bring them to the house and put them away, I will be in heaven.

4. The Mr. getting his staples out, being able to get in and out of the car more easily, and using a cane to get around have all made life on Easy Street just a little easier. He's actually hoping to work a couple of hours each morning this next week. We. Shall. See.

5. Rain. Lots of rain. And now, possibly snow tomorrow. That puts a new spin on October.
