Catherine at HiHo Ohio tagged me with this meme.

8 Things I did yesterday

1. Fed breakfast to Old Dog’s youngest daughter and her 2 kids

2. Went to a Columbus Clippers game with my daughter and her partner and their 2 kids

3. Walked from my daughter’s house in the German Village to the new Clippers’ stadium on the other side of downtown – a walk she claims is 2 miles, but felt like the Bataan Death March. (Note to self: Never go for a stroll with a woman who is training for the Boston Marathon.)

4. Dropped off a card to Old Dog’s middle daughter & saw her 3 kids

5. Came home and absolutely crashed, taking my weary old body to bed at 8:30.

6. Slept

7. Slept

8. Slept


8 Things I wish I could do

1. Get about 50 more doctors to volunteer to work at the clinic so we could see all the people who show up every week.

2. Afford to complete the deferred maintenance on the house

3. Get a novel published

4. Read every blog I’d like to without having to give up sleeping.

5. Spend more time with the grandkids because, having watched one child grow up so fast it took my breath away, I KNOW how fast it’s going to go.

  5. I like how you snuck "universal health care" in there :) Way to shoot for the top!

    Can we go on vacation together? I think that would make a great 8 stop itinerary!
