It's really been awhile since I wrote last.  I don't have anything much to say about the horse situation except that Curt is thinking of selling Hustle...sort of.  But he's also expecting a raise which might allow him to keep Hustle and give me some money for lessons or to save.  We're continuing on with our massive campaign to relieve ourselves of ( Read more... )

I can't sleep tonight.  That's mostly because it was too hot to sleep last night, so I slept today and got up at 4 pm.  Then I drank a diet Coke and have been sipping at a second all evening because it's all the carbonation I have left in the house.  Dang.  It's 3 am ( Read more... )

Yes, there are some fireworks, but very few and not any real big ones.  People are still shooting the small Roman Candle kind--very extra illegal, but down here near the flats they aren't as dangerous as up in the hills.  Prior to today the city posted huge signs everywhere saying fireworks are illegal and there is a thousand dollar fine for using ( Read more... )

I am going to read Pride and Prejudice all the way through even if it takes me all summer.  And it may 'cause I have a tendency to want to nap between paragraphs.  But only when the "action" slows down.

I had a really nice trip--in my way.  Much of it was spent resting from minor exertions...walking downtown all the way from M's house--a couple of blocks, LOL, but it was a nice trip and I'm very glad that I went.  The weather was really beautiful and the town is so pretty with all the trees and in the older neighborhoods haphazard plantings in ( Read more... )

is that I can't predict when I will be well and when I will not be well.  So every time I try to do something or make plans, they are accompanied by fear and dread. But I have taken some steps forward.  I read an article in the CFS,org journal about managing your day to help your sleep cycle and it included suggestions for what foods to eat when.  ( Read more... )
