I can remember the day he was born. He didn’t want to be born, lol! So, I was hooked up to an IV drip of Pitocin and the labor commenced! Labor wasn’t too long and he arrived all 8 pounds 9 1/2 ounces! My biggest baby yet! Fast forward-the years sped by and suddenly my baby isn’t a…elizabethbit in # actifit • 1 day ago • 2 min readIt’s Monday!………...…...North Cascade WanderingsOnce again, we find ourselves at the start of another week! It’s Monday but that’s okay. It’s also kind of my Sunday as I have work for the balance of the week. That makes tomorrow a me, myself and I day-the first truly alone day in a while.

I only somewhat wish! Fall IS my favorite time of year! However, this leaf and quite a few others are already falling from the trees.

I was so deep into what I was doing, that when 9 AM rolled around, I never heard my coworker knocking to get in! I just happened to be heading up front and saw her. Once I got her started on a few things, I returned to the task at hand. 10 AM rolled around and Dawn- one of my…elizabethbit in # actifit • 6 days ago • 3 min readOh Boy! It’s Hump Day!…….…...North Cascade WanderingsToday is Hump Day, and boy was it ever! I went to work as normal. Soon 9:30 approached and as I was talking with my coworker who arrived around 9:15, I realized the doc, which is our fill in doc, wasn’t there. He’s always early! I figured he was stuck in traffic and waited. 9:30 came and we opened.

Well, if I knew, I most certainly would NOT do it again! I woke up this morning to discover I’d thrown my back out in my sleep! Impossible-you say? Well-not for me! I’ve done this before in the past and I’ve even managed a time or two, to throw it out while in the shower 🙄, however this time is seemingly worse.

I understand this can be for several reasons: meditation; trail markers; tradition; memorials or just for fun. Happy Monday all! Not much happening here.

He and Cot-who took it much worse than Cyle did, were terrified of the fireworks our next door neighbor shot off last night! 🙀 For those who missed what I’m talking about-we live in a cedar and fir tree forest. Only a few parcels have open fields suitable for fireworks.

Well, around here usually in the month of June, if it’s cold and rainy, we refer to the month as June-uary as it’s mimicking our fall/winter months here in the Pacific Northwest. This past June-not June-uary. However for the first time I’m aware of, we are having July-uary!! Very strange, indeed!
