Long time no post.  Yes, I know.  The last weeks -- months -- have been something of a respite for me.  With Ron working from home and then job hunting I have been more engaged in being a companion than being solitary.   While I never consider myself to be ever separated from my beloved, I do have a life that leaves me alone for a good part of the ( Read more... )

My permanent crown was installed this afternoon and works just dandy.  Looks pretty much like the rest of the set and passed the first supper phase of the shakedown.  I had been getting weary of temporary ( Read more... )

I'm relieved and I'm tired.  Why?  We, the ordinary, have moved in concert to elect someone extraordinary.  In the middle of all the rumble and turmoil and confusion there is now a real reason to have hope.  Not because of whom we elected, but because the nation I believe in has once more found its voice ( Read more... )

One week to fest and I'm possibly out of the picture.  Why?  My MS has decided to make me miserable.  I go in for an MRI on Monday afternoon.  Any and all good thoughts are appreciated.  I want to go down to Wichita next weekend, but if I'm not better, I'll move downstairs, try to be a good kid and rest.  The doc gave me some different meds which ( Read more... )

Sorry to not have posted sooner.  Seems like life has been festive.  Today Ron has a job interview that seems like a good fit for him.  Renfaire is now less than two weeks away.   Too late to think about any new garb, but hey I can cope.  I have some novel ideas for my ensemble and there may be time for me to come up with some small amounts of ( Read more... )

I'm not sure why going to the dentist tires me so much, but it did.  The stitch is out and the crown lengthening has healed.  After lunch, I took a nap and woke to find that Ron had gone to do his various Wednesday errands ( Read more... )

After a long absence from the chair of dental ordeal, I've come through with my head up, but my face aching.  A couple weeks ago, I broke a tooth.  Today I have the temporary crown.  Next week some minor dental surgery.  It is interesting that I don't feel poorly, just kinda tired and little sore.  I'll be ready for the work weekend.

Okay, it is *still* Monday. It was a brisk weekend and work was wonkier than usual. Most of the time my time with volunteers is golden, but every so often, it gets me down to the point where I can't sleep. Yep, one of those days. Guess I'm better for being vegetative nearly all day. Some progress was made with the sister socks of Easter-egg ( Read more... )

Sunday was unusual -- I work up dog tired and sick. But since I couldn't reach anyone of the usual folks at work, I went in to get the office open and things under way. Around 9:30 my boss came in and told me to go home and that I looked like hell. I'll took it for the compliment it was and scurried home to bed. Slept about seven hours straight ( Read more... )

Not a whole bunch going on -- there's no movie night this evening, so I'll check with Ron to see what he'd rather do.  Today I am working on the pair of incomplete socks that my sister sent to me.  They're going to be very warm and colorful when I finish the toes later today.  Then back to a hat that I'm working on.  Then a look at the various yarn ( Read more... )
