A Look Ahead at an Icky Schedule
It's a "Make Ogre Juice" and a "bake fruit for breakfast" day today. A pretty easy day in the kitchen, all told. But I'm already looking ahead to two weeks from now. Why? Well, that's the next time that DH and I will have to work a full six-day week (and perhaps even more). In a world of Tit for Tat, the pendulum has moved the opposite direction, ( Read more... ) -

Braces, Fences and the Stanley Cup - Lots of This and That Today
My appointment with Dr DeVoe actually went pretty well. I have my next appointment in mid-August, and my final appointment and removal of all of the hardware in a 2-1/2 appointment on September 18th. I really wanted it before the Fair, but that didn't happen. But ... in into the end game here and it's hard to believe. I wonder how it will feel to ( Read more... ) -
It Was a Busy Wednesday - Cooking and Computer Work
I didn't get around to doing anything except grocery shopping and working in the house yesterday, so no keyboard shopping or other errands. But I did get a lot done. In the USA, it's generally best to shop for groceries on Wednesdays. Why? Because most grocery stores have their next sales beginning on Thursday, but the computer work to put ( Read more... ) -
What Is A Gift? Time? An Object? Or How About Just The Kindness Of Giving
I awakened early today, at 2:30 am instead of 3:00 am, so I settled in for a comfortable meditation. Which I had, and it was lovely. Then I gathered the laundry together and got the first load started, and I found a couple of other things that need to be added to the recycling bin which is being collected today. Add in a little bit of this and a ( Read more... ) -
Third Strike and Turkeys - My Life Is Never Boring
So I finally got my third strike in my writing group. It wasn't a surprise - I don't have a large group of people I can call upon to vote for my work. I probably would have taken a strike within the next week anyway, though. When Sharon is here, I'm not writing, I'm spending my time with her and that's the way it should be. She arrives on Thursday ( Read more... ) -
Underwear That Actually Fits and a Clean House - A Day of Accomplishment
Amidst all of the housecleaning (and I did get s LOT done yesterday), I went shopping first thing in the morning. I needed greens for my Ogre Juice, lunch if there was good sushi (there was, and it was delicious), and I needed paper towels and kleenex for the shop. Paper products are essential, and we were on our last box of Kleenex and last roll ( Read more... ) -
A Friday of Busy, Busy, and Busy - Link for Voting Once Again Too
Today is my Friday "day off" and on today's agenda is a physical "wellness checkup" with my Doctor, followed by grocery and sundries shopping, followed by making Ogre Juice, followed by vacuuming the house top to bottom. If I don't collapse after the vacuuming, I might be able to make new hummingbird food and maybe even spend a little time in the ( Read more... ) -
