And yet the world goes one without me

Day three of the plague from the Comic Book store. I called in sick to my day job and I’m calling in sick to my own place of business. What do I tell the boss? “That I am too sick to go to work and I want to stay home and rest?” I didn’t have [...]

Noisy small things

Today I am really missing our old next-door neighbors who had three little boys that preferred to make lots of noise BANGING, but they were LOVELY compared to our new neighbors who have the two little girls that spend most of their time outdoors shrieking at the tops of their tiny, high-pitched lungs.

Not my people!

Made the choice to go to the Comic Book Shop last night after dinner on a night where they had some kind of board gaming going on. LOTS of uber nerds were there and by that I mean the ones that need some help with hygiene and social skills. Witness two doing very gross things [...]

Well-balanced meals?

This week I rationalized that a pint of mint chocolate ice cream topped with strawberries was a complete meal: topped with fruit, mint for my vegetables and dairy for protein. Next up is chips and salsa: more vegetables in the corn tortillas chips plus lots of veggies in the salsa. I think I’m doing just [...]

Time for me.

Today was Mother’s Day. Michael is Outside at training and Amber is out with a friend. I had a Hoop Jam to go to a the studio, the last one scheduled since the weather is warming and had planned to go get a new critter after that. Sounded like a lovely day to myself and [...]

The Day After

Yesterday was a long but fun-filled day with trooping, dancing and a movie with friends to end the night. Today I get a day off too! And the sun is shining! Woohoo! And the entire house has been quiet for an hour. Quiet time to myself. Double rainbow bonus!

Resistance is futile or how I got another ferret

It’s not my fault! How could I resist this little face? This is Cici, formerly known at Christi. She is the tiniest little ferret ever! She was being offered for free on a list/group I am on and so I made an inquiry about her. Previous owner said that she had adopted Cici from the [...]

Perspective is such a funny thing

Yesterday I was working on my monthly bills and realized I was more than a thousand dollars short and starting worrying about how I was going to cover it. Then I sit down to figure out the year-at-a-glance overview of upcoming medical expenses and seeing that what I was going to need to pay amounted [...]

Not my best Monday ever.

Morning of planned relaxation failed. Got to work and office was 84 degrees. Came home to work, but now I have a wicked headache. I’m going back to bed until this thing subsides.

Family and Flights, part duex

So, my daughter didn’t get on the plane today, but she is scheduled to be on the same schedule for tomorrow. Apparently there was an issue with the carrier she brought to transport her little cat, so they booked her for the same-time flights tomorrow and she has to come back with a different carrier. [...]
