Actor Gene Hackman, wife and dog found dead in their home in New Mexico. Not sure why that's what grabbed me when there's so much else going on.

Very much enjoyed this short novel about a woman who has 4 chickens. I laughed hysterically at one part! Nearly cried at others.

Freya left for her new home in Payette, Idaho yesterday where she'll join about 20 other mules and horses. Her new owner seems extremely confident and she'll get some good handling.

My first coaching call with Myndlift was routine. I need to develop my 'calm' brainwaves so have 2 strategies. The activities are not super interesting, but maybe calm is also boring?! The graphics are very basic - here's a screenshot - I'm controlling the running alien on the right with my brain!

I ordered a Muse EEG headband and enrolled in Myndlift for 3 months or at-home neurofeedback training. Tomorrow is my first coaching call. We'll see if it's worth it. I'm previewing it to see if it might be also helpful to Tim.

Waiting for Tim as he has MRI of his cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower) back today at Sacred Heart in Spokane. Fingers crossed they can figure out what’s giving him such pain and disability.

Friends - I hate Facebook but Blue Sky seems so "empty" in comparison! I only follow 11 people so far, and one of them is flooding her feed with content - she appears to be boosting the value of this new platform, but I don't want to wade through her 10 posts looking for one I value from one of you!
