Reading:

A translation of an epic poem called Gudrun by a deceased Jewess author who disappeared in the Minsk concentration camp named Alma Johanna Koenig. Beautiful story. 


Watching:

Listening:

Beach Boys Good Vibrations album


Awaiting:

The end of testing and the end of the school year! Ready for summer break just as much as the kiddos. 


Dreading:

Some health insurance issues have me dreading opening up bills and statements. Dreading having to fight all the insurance battles. Dreading the outcome. Dreading having to hire a lawyer.


Hit:

Life Flower Care CBD bug bite roll-on. It really works well for mosquito and ant bites. I have been getting eaten up by mosquitoes lately.


Miss:

Tidy Cats Lightweight litter. It sticks to my cat's paws and she drags it all around the house. Clumps in the couch. Scattered litter sand all over. Yuck. Heavy duty for us.


Low:

Insurance issues. Seeing Adam struggle with it too. Tax issues. But we will get through it.


High:

Knowing I will see my sister and her husband and baby (who isn't even a baby anymore!) very soon! Kind husband. Awesome daughters. Sweet cat. Adorable chickens. Copious amounts of flowers around me. All the high I need.


How was your April? Was the weather normal for you? As it warms up what are you looking forward to? What are you watching?
