Still sad but thoughts are revolving around in my head. Thoughts of visits to San Diego, and/or changing my mind and just moving there anyway. I guess its not too late. It would be a foolish thing to do, a decision definitely made with the heart and not the head. Tomorrow is his last day here. Wow, I can't believe the time has come. It seemed ( Read more... )

Karl leaves in less than a week now. 6 days to be exact. I am facing this alien life, a life I have not experienced in over 10 years. I will be ALONE. And not the nice little alone time when Karl takes Emily to the store with him but ALONE. The yucky icky alone where you putz around the house deep into the middle of the night because you don't ( Read more... )

Normally I am not afraid of spiders. I rarely kill them unless I have to, preferring to transfer them outside and release. Unless they are are in danger of escaping and getting away (like under a couch or something). Living in North Carolina I am used to pretty much every bug being out for my blood, everything bites down here it seems. In Ohio ( Read more... )

I cut my thumb on a crab leg last night. Death can't even stop it from being pissed off that its on my dinner plate. We had a clean-the-freezer dinner last night. I had crab legs, Karl had cheese steak and Emily had a kid cuisine. I found some old hamburger and chicken from December, its got freezer burn but I am going to cook it for the dogs ( Read more... )

I have to go to some kid's birthday party this morning. I like neither him nor his parents (a couple uneducated loud mouthed rednecks) but alas my can't-say-no illness kicked in. Had to spend money I didn't have to buy a present for a kid I didn't like. And they are having the party at the Cow Cafe at 10 in the morning! Amy pointed out that it ( Read more... )

I woke up at 6:30 to take the dogs out and I should have stayed awake. But I didn't. I went back to sleep for about an hour and a half when Emily woke me up. She climbs into bed with me but then immediantly begins with "I want you to wake up, why aren't you awake yet?" Ugh. I have been in a grouchy grouchy mood ever since. I knew I should ( Read more... )

I get sick more than anyone else I know. I get sick a week before Emmy and Karl get it. How can my immune system be worse than a 4 year old's?? The girl licks banisters for heaven's sake! I woke up on Monday with a sore throat and thought oh boy, here we go again. Took vitamins, Airborne, and echinacea...and nada. Tuesday found me with a ( Read more... )

Had Karl wake me this morning at 6 to put out the recycling. I usually put it out Wednesday night but it was raining and I didn't want the cardboard to get all wet. After I got all that outside (and boy did we have a ton) I was totally awake. Wrote a letter and then made a batch of scones. They turned out awesome, some of the best I have ever ( Read more... )

Not that I actually ever make any money but that is the first thing that popped into my head when I thought about a subject ( Read more... )
