School starts again tomorrow. I've spent most of the twelve days off in bed with a migrane that keeps coming and going. I think I told you I suspected a low progesterone level as the reason. I picked up my birth control pills finally, and I started taking them again yesterday. My head is improving but I'm sooooo tired. I've been soooo lazy today. ( Read more... )

Well, I've spent three of my days off nursing a migrane, so I haven't acocmplished as much as I wanted thus far. I did manage to move my ornamental bird cage, butterfly lights, and suncatcher to the sunroom downstairs. They look great ( Read more... )

It has been so long. I wanted to see what has been happening with my friends since I last checked, but it only lets me see the last three entries. I thought there was a "next page" option but I can't find it. Damn it all ( Read more... )

He's such a bastard. I'm trying to figure out what Cass needs for young women's camp before we run out of money this payperiod, and I ask him what this year's dress standards are. He says, "Modest clothing." So I say, "You'll need to be more specific because modesty is relative. Last year capris pants weren't modest enough." He snapped, "I don't ( Read more... )

I got rear-ended yesterday. I was at the second Springville offramp at a dead stop waiting for traffic to start moving again, and the guy in a Fakler Tire truck hit me. Just wasn't paying attention. No apparent damage to the car, amazingly, but my collar bone is hurting bad and my wrists and neck are sore and I've had a bad headache since. Trying ( Read more... )

My headache eased Friday after I turned the heat off and the house cooled down a bit. Boy, do I feel dumb. I got some homework done over the weekend, though not as much as I hoped, but then I'm starting to burn out here. I needed a break from school. Just not an entire summer's break. I think I get a week off between summer and fall semesters ( Read more... )

I got up early (for a saturday) and attended a meeting at the Springville Art Museum for Reagan Academy charter school. I'm hoping my kids will be accepted. It has all the advantages of a private school, but it's free. Two of my sisters have kids in charter schools. I never imagined one would come to Springville. I like the idea that teachers are ( Read more... )

I'm a wee bit tipsy. Just enough to feel cozy. Cass is sleeping over at Amanda's and Michael and Seth are sleeping over here with Nate and Gabe. Mike's upstairs watching a rerun of the Battlestar Galacta premier. I just finished the dishes and I'm sitting in the dark in the living room with my notepad on my lap ( Read more... )

I lost nearly all the digital pics I'd taken over the last seven years when my hard drive fried. Pics of the kids. Pics of me. I found these in the file manager of an old geocities web site I forgot existed. They were never in the public domain--I was using it as storage. I'll post the benign one here. I'll give you a choice on the others--don't ( Read more... )

Biology 1010 is pretty cool, but it's kicking my ass--I'll be spending a lotta time in the Biology Lab this block! My professor is a young, petite Indian woman(not a Native American, but from India) whose first and surname translate as "lotus goddess." I like her a lot. While her accent is sometimes hard to understand, she more than compensates ( Read more... )
