Finally a day without a password problem..

 Normally I wouldn't celebrate the lack of a password problem, wait, yes, I would. I have been writing down any new passwords that I use because I am a person that can change my password and not be able to remember the change in 10 seconds flat, maybe less. A night or two ago the youngest wanted purchase a movie on her prime video account and for several days we have "discussed" that this could be done on my account and she could access that way. Finally, I gave in and let her make the purchase, well, sort of. Unfortunately, I could not remember my password to my g mail account and even though I was logged in the app was still requiring that I submit my login. This was one of many in the past few months and I am good with being done. Except that I depend on the internet for research, homeschool apps and recipes that I forget to write down when I know full well that I should.

Puzzle table

The oldest and I started up a puzzle during the snowstorm, and it brought back memories of doing puzzles in the old yellow house. This is also a tradition I did in my last two places of employment, of course there it was meant for the residents to enjoy, and it was difficult and actually impossible to keep the staff from trying to complete it before the residents got to enjoy it. For the most part the management made me stop doing it for that reason. I always had one going at home just for the shear fun of it. It does help the kids to relax while getting in some makeshift geometry and reasoning practice.

Someone found a cozy place to rest.

The schools closed for another day tomorrow. So, one more day before I can withdraw the request to enroll. It is okay though, the closing that is. I really am trying to enjoy the "shut down". I have taken the winter season for granted. It is a time to rest and reset, and I am just trying to rush the season. I do look forward to spring, and I should realize that if I rush the onset of it then I will be missing out on the natural cycle of rest that comes with winter.

the people track

well, that was the people tracks

While I am trying to enjoy the winter season, I just did not expect to have more snow than I would have had in Colorado. The local school is closed for the fourth day this week, and no that does not affect me, but it is amazing to me! I am glad that they would choose to close versus be open and risk the roads and the cold.

I found this to be the best elevator sign ever

This is my very favorite cow in the pasture

Some of these pictures were taken before the snow flew this past weekend so there is no snow showing in them. I have enjoyed walking out to the pond and visiting the ducks, but I feel sorry for them in the cold. I did not go today. I went yesterday and they were not very interested in the food that I brought to them. I chose not to go today because I had other things to occupy my time.

the ducks

It is now Thursday and I am another day without password or passkey frustrations!!! This is the best day ever for that.  Each day brings me a little bit closer to planning my trip back to the other house. I am sure I will miss this house, okay maybe I am not so sure of that. I think selling both and moving back to Michigan would not be what I would want to do, but it does tug at my heart that there is family there that needs help and I would at least know my way around the area to a reasonable degree. OMGOODNESS!! I really am going crazy! I better close now before I do or say something that is totally irrational... more so than I already have that is.
