In this world of wonder tonight, I am drained by the needy people I meet in my day. The degree of need varies. They're all reflecting my need back to me. The gentle person with bipolar disorder who thought I should ha…
Beloved Firstborn made it safely to Ohio. Boy Wonder leaves his father's tomorrow to return to Purchase. I made it to the pool. Swam for thirty-five minutes, did the hot tub, did the sauna. What bothers me the most i…
Beloved Firstborn is on his way to Ohio. They left about 0300 (or at least that was the plan) so they should be near Antioch by the time of this posting. We had a nice ride down Rte. 100S. I'd travelled that road to t…
The annual tribute to gluttony and fine feasting known as Thanksgiving has come and gone. I spent the day after Thanksgiving sleeping for sixteen out of twenty four hours. Must have needed it. The day before Thanksgiv…
Five thousand five hundred forty seven stitches. One hundred twenty-nine cast onto smooth bamboo needles. Five different types of yarn. One three quarter rip out and do over. Twenty five ladders deconstructed from perf…
I've got to admit, there is a certain charm in the laughter of my friends. It warms my heart no matter how bleak the outer world appears. It's November in Vermont. Everything is gray. Gray sky. Grayer clouds. Slate…
I'm always amazed at how much difference a really good howl and a night's rest can make in my disposition. Evidently, the toilet water was symbolic of the tears yet to be shed over all the crap that wasn't flushed away …
The perfect ending to the perfect week: Turd filled toilet resists persuasive plunger. I guess that's one way to ensure the bathroom floor is washed.Wonderful.Blessings abound
Some recent challenges leave me not knowing if I should laugh or cry. Sometimes one turns into the other. Sometimes I do them simultaneously. I believe it's called hysteria.I made it through one of the more challengin…
I start by acknowledging that if I were a reasonable woman, I would already be snuggled betwixt flannel sheets, luxuriating in the smell of cedar from the storage closet mingled with a faint whiff of fabric softener from…
That bodacious three mile lumber I embarked on yesterday? You know, not going to sit around, going to get going, going to get my house in order? Yeah, that one. I'm really great from the tops of my tibiae to the rest of…
Took LoraBoraLabraDora for a three mile walk. Didn't get there in time to see the scuba divers attack the dry hydrant. Did have a ride home from the cutest fire chief in the state. I smell hot metal in the living roo…
Is it the dentistry that makes you nervous or any medical work that involves needles? inquires knitsteel.I must confess, it is any medical procedure at all. Truly, the needles do not bother me. It is surrendering cont…
The deed is done and yet another part of my anatomy has gone to a medical waste receptacle somewhere. Where once was a throbbing bit of necrotic pulp lies a hole somewhat reminiscent of the Grand Canyon. John, the oral…
In the spirit of recent events. When cleaning rotten things out of hallowed spaces seems to be the rule of the day.I am joyfully announcing the removal of my infected molar from my jaw at 1445 today.I have been expediate…
My husband has often alleged that just about everything makes me horny. And I have demurred on those occasions by naming things that do not in the least arouse me. Today I had an unexpected reaction to news that now mak…
Wow. I came home from work "early" today. The flip side of that statement is that I went to work early today. I worked the proscribed amount of hours. I arrived home at three thirty- such a joy to be able to come hom…
I continue to have infection in my right jaw and tooth. Talked with a skilled oral surgeon today. Seems the blip on the x-ray is probably a bit of infection that should (theoretically) drain off once the fractured toot…
Eight chickens dispatched into the cold of a November Day. Rumor has it that we're going to have temperatures into the fifties and sixties this week. Unseasonably warm for this time of year. Today was a perfect day fo…
Random LifeThe tooth thing continues. Up and down with the levels of comfort. Erik and I went shopping together today in town. Stressful for him, relaxing for me. Go figureMade pizza for dinner. We had Ceredwyn and t…
