Today I got up a bit earlier, Lealy had contacted me on two mediums, wanting to see/talk to me. We talked for a while. Then I did a load of wash, helped my Dad get up, made a number of calls - got the ball rolling on him getting a test he needs done, another test he needs done, and schedule a meeting to get managed long-term care to come start ( Read more... )

I've become a bigger fan of Caesar salads over the last several years, and I have to say I think the new Dole Ultimate Caesar kit is about as good as they can get, as far as pre-packaged goes. Yes, I just had one, and it was a delight ( Read more... )

Quite a bit has happened over the past few days. Once again I've been up all day, since like 10am something - it feels like I'm making significant progress on that front ( Read more... )

This song made for what I feel to be a great opening for the film A Life Less Ordinary, which, not only turned 20 recently, but I was able to get a copy of it on Blu-ray from Germany over the weekend. I have such fond memories of seeing it with Ross and Susan in the theater, way back when. I rewatched it the other night... it definitely has it's ( Read more... )

Oh, goodness. I have no interest in being in this month. More and more over the past 19 years it's gotten to be a period of time that some terrible things have taken place during, with the last four being progressively the worst yet. Wow, I seriously can't even bring myself to get more into it. Just, thinking about everything that's happened, ( Read more... )

Quite a bit has happened over the last several days. Today I woke up earlier than I have in ages and ages - 8:45am, and have been up since. I actually got to bed by 2am last night, so, the sleep wasn't horrible, but I'm certainly not used to the way this time of evening is feeling right now. Today was actually beautiful out. I got Fluff and he and ( Read more... )

I had things I had wanted to reflect on, but fuck... so much has happened in just the past day. Holy shit... I don't know what I'll be able to even get into it right now, I'm not sure what I'll be able to recollect - I'm so fucking exhausted. My Dad ended up being admitted to the hospital last night, after not looking well yesterday morning and ( Read more... )

A little while ago on the way to the only 24-hour grocery store I noticed a small mouse sitting pertified on my windshield. I pulled over and stopped, turned on the light on my phone and spent the next 3 minutes trying to get it off my car, as it ran all across it, around it, under the hood and always away from me. It was adorable, but terrified - ( Read more... )

What a day. I woke up to an email from a National Historic Site, asking me to be the guest of honor at this gala they're doing (I didn't even know what that entailed, until looking it up - wow). I'm hoping Alicia will be able to attend with me. It's the kind of thing I would've loved to bring her to when I helped with the previous one, the year ( Read more... )

Last night I ended up watching some Ali G DVDs I haven't been able to watch for, oh geeez. Seven years? I have no idea. They're region blocked, but with this new Blu-ray player, they work and look great now. It was really cool to check them out. I got to bed entirely too late again, though, and for the second day in a row, ended up having dreams ( Read more... )
