death

I've had enough of it.

Three family members....

....in as many months.

Ruth Ann (Fenske) Mitchell - Aunt. Fostered my love of nail (toe) polish, stilettos & makeup. A looker.

Charlotte Laurel (Ihfe) Mathias - Mother-in-law (ex). A kind, beautiful woman. The Best.

Pearl Fenske - Aunt. Crocheted & knitted me bikinis. Very cool lady....ahead of her time.

No more....please.

well...

...it's caught up to me.

Last week.....my back had me hobbling around & missing workouts.

This week.....

....the boss walked in

....says 'good morning'

....stopped in his tracks

....says

....you look tired

....really tired.

Couldn't possibly be the 4000 yards I swam yesterday...in an hour. Or the half our ski I did...last night. Or the 10 hour day...I worked.

It's tax season.

Good morning to you too....

end of an era...

It's official....

The Genius is being retired.

A stressed old girl....that needs pasturing before she's broke.

Made a call today.....put in my order.

Not a Genius......but a beaut just the same.

Don't worry Sonja....you'll still get your water time.

The new one will be ready after tax season is over.

Sounds like a road trip is in the works....

she would write prose...

...when nobody was watching
