In Sickness and Illness

I hate being sick :/ But I seem to have come down with a flu or something, quite the nuisance. Headaches for three days now (not too bad today ; I think it was being aggravated by the stormy weather). Muscle aches. General exhaustion At the office yesterday, between the tired and the headache, I [...]

Ear Infections and Money for Nothing

So, K had his “comprehensive physical” today. Basically they have me drop him off before 9 and pick him up after 3 (so, 7 and 5:30 :/) for what is, really, about 30 minutes of tests. When I worked at Goddard and could stay home easier, or take half days meaningfully, I’d usually go in [...]

Docs, Quacks, and Babies

This morning was my functionless psych appt. I say functionless b/c he just hands me a scrip and there isn’t really a lot else going on. And, frankly, I think I kindof need a new med technically. But fancy new feature: DK woke up at 8:30, which meant he was quite awake still when I [...]

Happy Mother’s Day, Kiir!

Last year was Kiir’s First Mother’s Day. (Did you know they make special mother’s day’s cards for that? I didn’t, so I didn’t get her one last year for it :/) But DK was only about a month old at the time, so while I got her flowers (and my mom, and her mom, and [...]

And the games keep rolling

So … I cancelled my EQ2 subscription earlier this week. Desmond’s been being a bit clingy, so I end up sitting on the floor playing something so he can take my controller and harass me. I really miss my media chair. But it wasn’t designed for my fat ass, apparently, and it broke* Kiir’s been [...]

Haul 18 Tonnes ….

Last summer, right? I spent most of a week working to clear the yard. took out like 10-12 bags worth of growth, from the front yard, then another two carloads of the backyard, cutting out the Mountain Laurel, the Butterfly Bush, the other bush, etc. And the front grew weeds before the grass seed even [...]

Upwardly Mobile

So, Des’ latest trick is climbing. Well, not really. His latest trick is climbing onto the table or my desk. A few weeks ago, Kiir looked out from the kitchen at lunch, and he was sitting on the dining room table clacking the glasses from dinner together (because, frankly, I didn’t worry about picking them [...]

Falling Rock Ahead

So, on the train Tuesday, there was a loud popping. And one of the windows spiderwebbed in a nifty “look, gunshot!” pattern OK, not so nifty. It was the window in front of me, so that was a little rattling… Conductor came through at the next stop to inspect it and decide if it was [...]

Brief Hiatus

It’s been pointed out to me that, as a daily blogger, I suck. (to be fair, I’m doing a lousy job of 2x/wk on my crypto blog, and the kitchen site hasn’t seen much outside of alchohol in months, and not much beer lately either ; so, I suck at timeliness and updatiness, in general) [...]
