Grandgirls! Español! Newsletter! JHA Zoom! 10.30.22

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:52 pm  

We got great use out of our annual passes for Stone Mountain. The grandgirls and I had fun with them. We got to see the Christmas and Halloween spectacles. That was super! We probably went up the cable car and rode the train at least ten times.

The girls spent the night with us last night. After we got them to sleep, I went down to my bed, but left the lights on on the stairway and in my outer room so Everly could find me if she needed to. At around 2:00 AM, she came down to get me to give her some Tylenol. She wasn’t feeling well even when we went to the festival last night. We didn’t stay much more than an hour or so and came home. I stayed up with her till 3:30 AM then went back to sleep in my bed. I felt pretty tired all day long and kind of sad because it don’t like it when the girls are sick.

OYB!


I’m always learning new words in different languages.

I worked really hard on Español this week. I got beat out for the #1 spot in the last fifteen minutes of the night. It’s fun to have close competitions like that. I don’t really get upset if I don’t come in first place all the time. Good for other people to win too!

Ashley and Miles came to pick up the girls around 11:00 AM. Everly wasn’t feeling well. Made me sad.

I did three poems for the JHA Halloween Special: Jabberwocky, Poison Tree and Antidotes for Fear of Death. They all had kind of a scary groove to them. I’ve been practicing them the last couple of days. If you’re going to perform them, you have to practice them out loud. Still kind of scary to do stuff in front of a group. No big deal to read stuff, or do it off the cuff, but memorized stuff is way more challenging. There was about fifty people that attended.

I wrote and produced my newsletter and printed the labels. I’ll drive into Chamblee tomorrow morning to get those printed. I’ll have everything done and in the mail by tomorrow afternoon if all goes well.

Had fun performing the poems. I did my best, which is pretty much awesome.

Anthony was a great host.

Very tight finale of this week’s competition. Fun!
