Happy New Year
Wishing y'all a happier, healthier 2022! After getting out and about yesterday for the first time in ages, I felt (pleasantly) exhausted. Crawled into bed before 8:30pm last night after barely staying awake for whatever show/movie was playing on TV and realizing it was too much effort. ( Read more... ) -
I'm A Mess
Yeah, yeah, I'll get through this. But right now, I'm a mess. ( Read more... ) -
'Rents Visiting (4/11) (and 2pm)
Mellow-ish day. Slept in so caught up on sleep some. Did some biz stuff re: on-going roof issues (talked w/insurance adjuster, reviewed estimate for roofer folks that did emergency fix yesterday, made small list of other roofers to contact tomorrow to see if I can get other estimates quickly). Caught up more w/Mom. Did a quickie grocery run. ( Read more... ) -
'Rents Visiting (2 & 3/11)
Had a really nice visit from a cousin & her hubby yesterday. They came over at 2pm for tea & cookies, with the thought that the visit would be between meals. Well, that's all very well and good, but we ended up chatting away for far longer than expected. Not really surprising, as we've not gotten together in a couple of years.
Around 6pm I put ( Read more... ) -
Water Water Water
Roof leak or plumbing leak? Dining room ceiling. Not horrid (minor dripping with bucket & towels underneath), but certainly not good. Emergency roof folks'll be here in a few hours. Have emergency plumbers ready to call if that's NOT it. We shall see... Why yes, it is a SUNDAY. *rolls eyes*
EDIT: Roof leak. Emergency repairs completed. ( Read more... ) -
Feeling Good
So, it's just about the 33rd anniversary of my wedding. We're no longer together, but still friends. In fact, when I reminded him the date and pointed out how pleased I am we're still friends, he agreed and said "You're still one of my most valued friends." This makes me feel happy, and pleased, and as if I've done something right in how I've ( Read more... ) -
'Rents Visiting (1/11)
Day 1 of 11: Mom & hubby J's flight got delayed once somebody realized that all the luggage'd ended up on a flight to San Diego instead of to PDX so everything needed to get moved onto to the correct plane. Thank goodness, as this provided an additional morning hour to put Hive Magnum to rights. In that time, I managed to level up to Tidy House ( Read more... ) -
Officiating
Tomorrow morning I have the honor of officiating the wedding of a couple of good friends. They said all they wanted to say when they committed to each other several years back, on the beach in Big Sur, shortly before the most amazing sunset I've ever seen. So I'll keep tomorrow's ceremony short, simple, and sweet. They'll reaffirm what they said ( Read more... ) -

Thanksgiving Travel
Note to self: you ain't as young as you once were, and you cannot carry on like you once could without adverse side effects. I'm not talking about going out carousing either. Simple things like getting up early and driving for hours now exhaust me like they never did before. ( Read more... )
