Happy birthday Linde!

It can get very warm in Alaska some days.

Likely not as often near the Artic Circle though.

Toon soon

I have been taking Gabapentin for restless legs. It really didn't work and left me with brain fog all day. So I decided to stop taking it and have been in a bit of a crash all week with no ambition and not much desire to do any thing. I have struggled through with a few projects. Managed to till the garden and cleared out some stumps that needed to be dug out in the pasture.
Had my counseling session last night which always makes me feel better. Then out to the dinner for a bite. Stopped of at the Tractor supply store for some horse feed and seeds for the garden which I hope to get in soon. Railing for the deck should be in soon. Plenty to do, now if I can just find where I left my ambition.

Congrats on the Ipad and voice training. My voice coach recommended a breathing exercise to relax before lessons. Breath in from the belly for 4 count, hold for 8 count, and exhale through pursed lips slowly for 12 count. Do this for 3 minutes for heart rate to slow.
So sorry you have so much trouble with the VA. The Vets have always gotten the short end of the stick.

Beautiful scenery. Alaska would be great if it wasn't so cold.  Enjoy your trip.

Yeah, that could be true. Lot of that success was about having assembled a good team... and that is by far the most important part of all of this success. I'm standing up because of all the wonderful people around me holding me up.

And to stretch that analogy probably right to the point of breaking (if not, admittedly, a bit passed) - over the past seven days I feel like I've recruited some top-flight talent for the team going forward, so I should have a pretty deep bench for whatever challenges lie ahead.
