The week before last, I got bit by something – a mosquito, or a spider perhaps – on the left eyebrow. Naturally I had to pick at it. The fact that I did it unconsciously because it itched doesn’t reduce the outcome one bit. First I scratched it, then I scratched off the scab and […]

I got stung by a bee yesterday! Right on the big toe. Three strides from my back door and the poor bug collided with my unexpected foot and gave up his life to poison me. I pulled out the stinger right away. Brett immediately slapped some cooling Iowa mud on the area, and I’ll be […]

Brett’s home and I’m so stoked to see his cute freckled face. He smelled terrible from being on the train for half a million years, but nothing a quick shower didn’t fix. He had a great time, and half the muscles in his body are sore from all the bike riding he did. He had […]

His train was four and a half hours late, but my baby’s back after a swell vacation! Yay! ——–

It’s Thursday, which means my ‘official’ work week is done. Which basically makes it my weekend already! Whee!

The weather is weird. It’s getting down to 45 at night. It’s breezy and dry during the day; it’s like living in Eastern Washington. Clouds roll in at dusk. To go out after dark I need a sweater. Today I’m wearing a long-sleeved shirt, corduroy pants, and socks. Of all things! Socks! In August! Last […]

Here’s my cute hubby (and Jimbo in the background). He called me this morning; he sounds all relaxed and mellow, and he’s having fun in Colorado. He’s currently sitting on Ron’s porch, enjoying the view of the valley, and waiting for Josha to come pick him up. I guess Ron had to go into work […]

My baby’s gone for a whole week. Sniff. I miss him! Put him on a train last night, and sent him off to the tender mercies of the Colorado crowd. I’m so stoked he’s finally going on a vacation, since he hasn’t had one in three years. He seemed visibly relaxed the moment he decided […]

Poor iPAQ. I dropped it yesterday in a moment of spasticity; now the buttons don’t quite work properly. I mean, they work well enough, but they don’t work the way they’re supposed to.
