Margaret is doing great. We watched the parade and part of the dog show ( Read more... )

Today there's a previous ranty entry that explains some of what I'm ranting about here. It's just a ranty kind of day, I guess.

I saw the nurse practitioner, who looked at me like I was insane for being proactive and concerned when I wasn't falling down dead sick yet. I don't get it - I thought we were supposed to practice preventative care, yet ( Read more... )

Slightly disjointed rant forthcoming ( Read more... )

Margaret has been sick for over a week, now. At first it was just her common cold with asthma annoyance, but it hung on and on and in the past 24 to 36 hours we noticed it was different this time. It was harder and harder for her to rest, when she would wake she would be so unhappy and uncomfortable and nothing we did helped. One evening she had ( Read more... )

I have gotten SO many questions about the crayons, and here I was thinking it was a stupid little project that only I would care about! They are dead easy, you definitely need to make some today, if only for yourself ( Read more... )

It is cold today, wah! I'm back in scrunchy socks and a cardigan, and the chill has prompted me to do laundry so it's not altogether a bad thing. The dryer and my blankies will keep me warm :D Sharon asked me how I keep my hands warm and honestly I often don't, and those are the days that really suck. I have a few pairs of half-finger arm ( Read more... )

I really, really liked this option as weekends at TCM are typically insane. And that ( Read more... )

I was trying to write every day, thinking, "Whenever I post those humungo entries I don't get as many notes because I post it in the middle of the night and people probably don't see it," and, really, don't we all write in here to get at least some feedback? and so then I started writing every day even if it were boring shit and I got even fewer ( Read more... )

I didn't finish working until 2am - that's the biggest drawback to working from home, right there, feeling compelled to keep working on an issue until it's done because work never goes away. I was worn out ( Read more... )

Joy got me hooked on Pinterest today, that's a fun webby doo-dad, for sure. Work has been a big bad sumbitch and I'm not very happy about that. Went to the dentist and had the pulp cap drilled out and the final filling put in. That was expensive. I go back in a week for yet another cavity, and then a week after that to have one of my two crowns ( Read more... )
