That title describes so much.

Last weekend 7 of us took a weekend trip to Las Vegas for Beau’s 40th birthday and for March Madness (college basketball tournament). We were there for 3 calendar days but it felt like about five or six days because we were up about 20 hours out of each day.

It is now 4 calendar days after my return and I think I have finally recovered from the sleep deprivation. It sure was fun though to be able to do that.

Next stop? Disneyland in May. Pretty much the same thing but with a slightly different target audience (very slight).

Then I also don’t know how many days it has been since I switched to Dvorak, something like 15 or so? Today I peaked at about 40 words per minute but a more accurate assessment is more like 33. I still make a lot of mistakes and sometimes have to pause for a couple seconds to “gather” myself for the next word.

I think I am going to be good at this though.

So back around Valentines Day Emma and Abby each received a piece of mail. Inside the envelopes they each discovered a “greenback” courtesy of their Great Gramma Elynor.

Abby knew what she had and it would seem as though Emma understood too as evidenced by this video I was lucky to capture.

I finally got around to posting this for you Gramma!
Enjoy.

I am now up to 24 words per minute on a typing test.
I can’t quite achieve that when I am creating things like this post. I believe it is because when I am copying words for the test I am only going letter by letter but when I am creating I think in whole words or phrases or something and the letters “fall out of my fingers” in clumps.

I tend to get stuck on single letters more and I also tend to do dyslexic things about ten times more frequently…trying to type the Dvorak letter with the opposite finger.
