Today started out well. Temperature not so hot and Andrew is adjusting back into the classroom setting. I was all set up to do my exercises when things went haywire with the satellite receiver. I spent more time than I would have liked "chatting" with someone trying to correct the problem. Unfortunately I'll be held hostage in my house waiting for a technician. We'll see what happens.
I am all registered for school, all my required books are purchased and I just need to buy a parking permit. Trying to wait until a week before so my money will have been received. Its amazing how quickly a person can spend money for school. I am getting excited about my new assignments and moving on with my career.
My next goals: get a workout schedule together, finish my resume, and organize my study space.
I've been enjoying my holodeck time, writing my book and been so pleasurable. Now I need to start making headway on my first story I began back in 1997. Maturity and research have a way of helping you make a more realistic story. I have a few people enjoying my current finished work. We'll see what's in store for me next.
Ensign Denyce had a great birthday. Though I don't know what is to come in the next years I am glad that I have been chosen to be her mother and help her on her way to womanhood.

Captain's Log Stardate 201108.2
Back on track?
One of the things I hate about the heat is that I am unmotivated to exercise. Made sure to do some moving around but my mind was not focused on it.
Wouldn't it be nice if our bodies could do the work while our minds were elsewhere?
Well tomorrow is a new day, a new chance to start fresh.
May I make the most of it and put procrastination in its place.

July 2011 wrapup
Captain's Log Stardate 201107.31
Things have been quiet as we begin to look to August.
Steve and Denyce enjoyed ComiCon as much as could be enjoyed with all the weird changes and inconveniences.
7/25 we visited the San Diego Zoo; Andrew was re-enrolled in preschool.
7/26 did some pre-birthday shopping
7/27 saw Cars 2
7/28 DuJuana and Isaiah came for a visit. Completed my registration for Fall 2011. The commander and I had a date and saw Harry Potter #7 part 2.
7/29 visited the Museum of Natural History. The Commander and I went out again and saw Captain America.
7/30 visited the Nixon library in Yorba Linda and Steve's high school friends in Anaheim. Swimming on a beautiful day is always a plus.
7/31 back home and some shopping as we prepare for back to school.

July 2011 and trip to the Davenport Quadrant
In 14 days we leave for the Davenport, WA Quadrant. I am looking forward to getting away. Doing better, keeping myself busy with some books from my mom and staying active with the kids. They hate "the hill." Once we get back from our trip I aim to get back motivated and finish all the things I started in May. If I really want something I have to put the work in to making it come about.
July 14-19
Andrew did well on his first flight. The pilots were great and everyone was very friendly. For the first few nights Denyce and I bunked together and Steve and Andrew shared the basement. That wouldn't last long. Andrew couldn't stand Steve's snoring so I wound up bunking with Andrew and Steve went to his old room.
Thursday evening we had dinner with Steve's Aunt Doris and Uncle Ed at the Red Rooster restaurant in Reardan.
We went to Mondovi on Friday and visited Loren's family and Les' family. The kids enjoyed the horses, calves, chickens, goats, dogs and rabbits.
On Saturday we enjoyed a rainy Pioneer Days Parade. Andrew enjoyed the park and playing on the merry-go-round. That evening we went to Andy Casper's mom's home for an early celebration of his 50th. Steve got to visit with Ruthy, Tom, Randy, Rusty, Mike and of course Andy. We missed David and Rich being in attendance, especially since this would have been their 30th High School Reunion. Life sometimes causes you to change the priorities and you can't really expect people to pick up where you left off, especially if it was years later.
On Sunday we attended an all area church service on the grounds of the court house...only in a small town would it not be a big deal. Try doing that in CA and there would be lawsuits filed before the new day got going. The four of us took a trip to Seven Bays and drove around the Old Fort. It was amazing to see how much things had changed since I was there in '94.
On Monday we drove to the Trinidad Farms and saw the wheat up close and personal. The kids loved the grasshoppers. We spent a leisurely last evening at home.
Tuesday we made a dash over to Steve school EWU, where he got a t-shirt, then dashed to the airport. Of course in our rushing we learned that Delta had delayed our flight by an hour and there could be a chance of missing our connection to San Diego. After using our $24 vouchers and boarding our flight, we made it to Salt Lake City an hour after schedule. Unfortunately, Steve was busy with phone calls and I was watching the bags, that while the kids were seated and waiting we left "baby" Andrew's lovey of 4 years behind. He will be greatly missed and we will be heartsick about it for a while. We did make our connection to San Diego...of course it was the same plane we had left Spokane it. If I had known we might have just stayed on the plane and we might still have baby with us. Andrew is taking it well, has some sad moments but he does have others loveys to keep him occupied. We made it back to San Diego at 6:20 and I was glad we did laundry the day before. After some adjustment we seem to be settling in. It was a great trip and I hope we can have regular vacations from now on.
