Car rides

Today, we’ll drive 4 hours. The kids are pretty much used to 3 hour rides, but somehow I know this is going to push everyone’s limit.

I’ve been taking prenatal vitamins this past week, even though I’m not pregnant. This could be a placebo effect, but I’m been feeling especially well this week. I was googling  “Niacin” because I remember seeing a documentary that cited it as a treatment for depressive symptoms. Then, I google “Dietetics” and “UW LaCrosse Nutrition.”

It would be fun to learn everything!

Things I miss about St. Mary’s University: The small church on campus, eating soup at the eye clinic across the street, walking to the Swedish Museum, and visiting Al and my Mom at Abbott Hospital on the days Al had treatment there. I miss writing assignments, sharing thoughts in a group, and drinking a water bottle while professors wrote on the board. I liked taking notes and circling those notes and underlining those notes.

I keep telling myself that every place and time is a chance to grow and learn, but my stubborn brain only wants to take in new information in a classroom setting. Or it only wants to acknowledge new info in a classroom setting. In reality, none of us can ever stop learning. Our five senses are bringing in information at all times. Like Dr. Seus explained, “Think. You can think any think that you wish…”

Well, that’s all for now. The kids are ready to go and I’m still in PJs.

Hugs!
