Reflections and Discoveries....

First, a shout out to my sister, who I had some fun with yesterday...she is the best math teacher in the world!   Now, I took a lot of math classes in high school, and I did great, but to share any math knowledge with anyone is beyond me.  (And my knowledge is not like hers in any sense!)   It made for many rough nights with math homework with my kids...causing me and them to turn to her lots of times!   She is a GREAT teacher!   That quote yesterday made me laugh...there are so many of us that "fear" math...it is a "math anxiety community"!   I think it is just our insecurities, because look at how many of us use it, every day!   Cooking, building, traveling, shopping, digging post holes, and more!   Those things all involve math.  It is immersed in our days, yet we fear it!   Thanks to teachers like my sister, we can learn math and be prepared!   Thanks, Sis!

Yesterday I traveled with my hubby and grandson to hubby's doctor appointment about an hour away with and ENT specialist.   The appointment went well, but really didn't get any answers for the pain he's been enduring in his tooth/sinus/eye areas for several months, but we'll plug along with it and try this plan that the dr gave him.   After, we ran in to get some vitamins at Walgreens, and I saw this on the end of the aisle:

Yes, I was soooooo excited...this would keep my pillow COOL all night?   I snatched it up, so tired of the pillow feeling like it's on fire during the night.   It's called   Forever Cool   and is a gel pad you put inside your pillowcase.   They even have one for your bed...a bed mat.    I tried it out last night, and it was a bit stiff, but did stay cool.   I'll have to give it a few nights...but so far, so good...

Have a good day...off to the races...
