Another marathon day followed by a desultory evening spent reading by the woodstove. Hard to believe that the night is warming up and temperatures are to be in the sixties tomorrow. That should finish off the remaining…
The leaves waved good-bye to my son, my brain wept.
My eyes were dry.
And so to work.

Five loads of laundry. Awesome black bean and pumpkin soup. Four dozen fluffy peanut butter cookies. Several loads of dishes. Pancakes from scratch. Grocery shopping. Friend assuring. Mood swing on husband. Recyc…
We finally had the phone service restored about mid-afternoon, Saturday. Otherwise, no big deal not having telephone access other than I couldn't do the computer thing.
The snow is still tenaciously clinging to the g…
Joan from work let me shower at her house last night. Our power was restored around 2 A.M. We lost our phone in the interim. But that's ok- roof over our heads, a foot of wet, heavy snow on the ground. It's all good.…
I settled down for a good read before bed last night at 1850. At 1855, the power quit. It's still not on at my house or the fire station. I'm at work right now, but the question begs an answer: How will I cleanse my s…
I'm feeling too foggy brained to write today. So I'm wondering:
What's the most fascinating endeavor you've ever experienced, or are currently experiencing?
Blessings abound
BAH.
No, I'm not calling all sheep in the greater rural area of my home. I'm still a well person with symptoms.
The highlight of this weekend was the privilege of seeing a bull moose drinking at the pond in the ba…
I lost my voice today shortly after speaking with two creditors. Co- Incidence? I suspect so.
I've managed to get a lot down, even with being sick. It's the gift that keeps on giving- an Upper Respiratory Virus. Brou…
Sharing the anticipation of an upcoming medical procedure is not unlike walking through a house of horrors- the further one ventures to it, the more scary stories one encounters. There are mundane passes through narrow …
Alas, no Beloved Firstborn this weekend. His ride fell through. Hopefully, he'll come next weekend. I had considered driving to Portland to retrieve him, but I worked unto six tonight, so it is not to be.

And then there are the times I do really stupid things, inane things to amuse myself and they end up bemusing me in heretofore unimagined ways.
After I finished paying some outstanding bills via the various handy websit…
The financial stuff is at the bank. The paychecks are rolling in from the twelve day stretch and the overtime The Chief and I picked up last pay period. I feel a bit of easing of the tension in my chest.
I'm tired. …
I know it's time to cease paying bills and slumber when these women

Addendum:
Biopsy is next Wednesday. I appreciate the well wishes, especially since I've just spent the last half hour reading up on the procedure. I'm not thrilled, but some of the alternatives to not knowing are simp…
I'm feeling cautiously optimistic tonight. Lighter and definitely less clenched.
PT resulted in a painful, but welcome psoas release.
Interview with Anne at the bank left me cautiously optimistic that we will be able …
Things that make me clench but I shall valiantly sally forth despite:
Listing of all debts
Presenting of said list to bank for advice
PT for sore back
Endometrial biopsy one week from today.
That should do for now…
This has been one of those interesting days. I worked for Home Health. My back has been bothering me, and I needed a physical therapy session. It's dangerous to try to schedule any kind of self care for a Home Health …

The house is cruelly quiet.
Not really, but I just love that sentence. BW, Dan and Ryder left about half an hour ago, as did Devout and her daughter who had stopped by to see BW. Devout and I crafted whilst the young …
Some time in the night, bodies appeared on the air mattresses. I never heard them arrive at 0130. They then spent three hours hanging out on the porch. Not a peep. Nor did the dogs betray them. Probably bribed them w…
Finally, success has been attained and I have loaded the banner from Pixie Taker to the site. I like it very much. It's one of his serene pics that brings me calm when I gaze upon it. I hope you enjoy it, too.

1-800-TRU-STME my knowing voice told me one time.
Someone has generously created a banner from a treasured piece of their art. Now, if only I could figure out how to make it appear. My…
Anyone out there interested in designing a banner for my site? I have absolutely nada talent or knowledge to design one for myself and things are feeling kind of stale on the blog. Any takers?
Or should I say, givers?

I've gotten the Home Health portion of my week out of the way. For this I am grateful. I was only given four visits today and escaped the premises at 1530. The funny thing is that now I don't have the structure of the…
My day just improved markedly. I was able to tap into Ghetsum's Tuesday Quiz before the answer's I knew were all taken. And, as a bonus, as I was stroking my chin in contemplation, I found a two inch hair growing out o…
thirteen hours and twenty eight minutes remaining.
I'm spending a lot of time in the homes of cigarette smokers this weekend and my compassion for them is dwindling. Help me, Kwan Yin.
Shitty mood. Gray shitty day. Seven visits. No desire.
Pray for me.

Every so often I resent myself for working so hard to recover my function with my knees. Sounds really stupid, I know. Why do I resent the recovery of function? Because it meant consciously refusing to take permanent d…
Would you like some Agida with that?
The day did not go as well as I might have hoped. Things ran over at the garage. Against my own judgement, I replaced the van's six year old battery that was functioning just fine,…
I am having to leave my sanctuary far too early this morning. The van needs a LOF, I need to go to work early so I can have a doctor's appointment with my boss to discuss my anti-depressant medications (stable) and the…

I had a moment last night so powerful, I was calmly certain that I was going to die today and never see anyone I loved again. The feeling was not dissimiliar to when I was pregnant the first time and realized that the b…
I finally gave in and had a nap around two p.m. I was a very good girl and only napped for about an hour and one half. I'm going to take something to help me sleep tonight, lest I be awake again all night. I can't affo…
I slept for maybe an hour tonight. Between my Perpetually Menstruating Syndrome, Fire Calls for false alarms in the middle of the night, a Righteous kink in my neck and A Really Good Book, and my proclivity towards the …
