Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.
Hey, Mom! The Explanation.
Here's the permanent dedicated link to my first Hey, Mom! post and the explanation of the feature it contains.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #806 - More Shelves
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #806 - More Shelves
Hi Mom,
Not the most exciting of posts, but I know you are interested, Mom.
I have been nothing but grading robot yesterday as the minimal original content on my blog will surely attest.
I have found it challenging in my new home to get a lot done. No, that's not right. I am getting a lot done, but I am not accomplishing as much as I did in my old home and I am not sure why.
However, after being here three weeks, on Sunday, finally, I enlisted the help of the two young men who live here, and we put up the shelves in Liesel's office.
There's still tons of unpacking to do, but at least there's more places to store things now.
I am happy to accomplish something as work has been taking so much of my time that my hourly rate has really fallen.
And maybe I am over-compensating in teaching due to the fact that I do not feel I did my very best as I drove across the country, which, really, if I were to look at it closely is probably not true.
Okay, so there's some original content.
And here's some pictures of shelves going up that will really be of interest to maybe three people, one of whom is you, Mom.
Thanks to Keith and Adam for helping me install these beautifully varnished and handmade shelves in what is now their fourth home (West Gull Lake Drive, Richland Woods, St. Antoine, and now Blacktail Lane).

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
