Hurt toenail this weekend; swung heavy planter into it. Resulted in bending nail back and returning to bed with lotsa dirt underneath. Soaked the bloody thing and called it a loss on upright productivity this weekend. Pus was at a boatable flow rate by this morning (yes, in cfs) - luckily Indian clinic had a cancellation for 9:30a! In less than an ( Read more... )

Today I had the locksmith in and not only do I have fewer keys on my ring, I have a door with only 2 steps into the yard which functions!

I am damn proud of myself!

Yay!

I'm an aunt!

And still working on the list.

And back to playing WOW- heaven!

Sometimes the answer is to get up and move. Get busy. Get juicy. Do life.

That's the plan. Feeling like a recovering invalid so I do need to observe the pacing.

Need to shift thinking back into action gear too so...

Five things I've been putting off for months but want done
1. take the 2 "bad" chairs from house to storage (boat house?)
2. call ( Read more... )

I like reading dianyla's lists!  I'm also frustrated by the tattered steno pads stuffed in my bag and scattered around the house that embody my lists. So here goes:

Big List - week of 2/2

• empty duffel bag of gear
• call & order larger carpet samples to check dye batch (per Lowe's)
• air & restow marmot tent
• clear garage counter & shopvac carpet infront of ( Read more... )

I started my period today and I'm fighting the urge to just rant away about dad. Yesterday he tried to drink a bottle of wine I received for Xmas. Today I found a bag of crab shells he had hidden in a drawer instead of taking them down to the garbage can- the stench was gag-inducing! When I confronted him he acted all casual about it-  so I dropped ( Read more... )

Very little sun clears the pines and cedars this time of year. Makes for cold work even on a day with temps in the mid 50's in the garden. The majority of the remaining snow has melted away. I shoveled ice off the path with little effort. Pruned the shrubs along the house including the dire thorn bush and painful pyracantha. Shoveled clear 2 full ( Read more... )

I've got 2 days of alone time. No dad in sight.

Normally I'd call Mr Moto and take a sick day but since I've given him his walking papers that won't be happening.

Hm. Kinda makes me miss him......ok, that's over.

I'm going to work on personal space improvements instead; harder on the finances but much less drama and intrigue!

Invigorated from river time.
Intensely happy from contact.

Canoeing the Russian River was fantastic and including S. & JL is another step forward. I"m still not sure we will ever resolve all issues but its movement which needs to happen if its to remain viable. I brought my cousin squash and armenian cucumbers in a laundry hamper, a flat of 3 kinds ( Read more... )
