  • I'm thinking it might indeed be time to break down and purchase a digital camera. I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it with my computer, but worse case scenario, I suppose I could get some one to help me figure out ho…

  • If anyone tells you Rifampin turns your pee orange,believe them- it happens quickly! I now have Bozo urineTomorrow, tears and sweat. Do I know how to live or what?Blessings abound

  • Work whooped my butt today. I was only there for five hours.The pain in my low back that had gone away? It returned during the fourth hour.I think that's a pretty clear statement from my body about my job.Tomorrow it's …

  • For a small moment today at dusk, I thought the owls had returned. It's a little early for them. The large, dark silhouette of outstretched wings would seem to have said they were settling in to nest.I watched a little…

  • Your Bumper Sticker Should Be Even if the voices aren't real - they've got some great ideas What Bumper Sticker Should Be On Your Car? Some times I think my dogs fake vomiting just to see how fast I'll jump up in alarm a…

  • So sorry- no pictures today. Maybe tomorrow. Ceredwyn forgot the camera. No big deal. I'm pretty sure my hair will be the same color tomorrow or the next day.The tea cozy causing last evening's lamentations is shrinki…

  • Oh dear God what Have I Done!Not a lament about the hair- at least not yet NO, this exclamation is about the tea cosy I knit. It's supposed to be thrown into the washer and felted. Which means it's supposed to shrink.…

  • There's nothing like a good chat with a girl friend to relieve pent up frustrations. I hope it was as good for her as it was for me.I went to have the every six week hair tune up today. I traded in most of my gray and …

  • I spent most of today away from the house. I made an appointment with the pastor of the church we attend to discuss whether or not I'm at the right church. Even though I started out Methodist, I don't know enough about…

  • Flying isn't really an option- the weekend (President's day) is a heavily travelled one. I've flown on it enough times for Junior Olympics for fencing to know that it's more expensive than usual. Ad to that the cost of…

  • I've gone ahead and asked Devout to check into would it be okay if I bring my sister or a friend to the wedding instead of the Testosterone Triplets. She'll run it past the Emperor and we'll see what flies.The Chief say…

  • What to Do, What to Do

    Nope, not another lament about my inability to curtail activity to the refurbishment of body, mind and spirit. A new lament about attending a wedding in Pennsylvania. In February. I've known the groom since he was abo…

  • I am constantly amazed by the amount of sleep I seem to need in the process of healing after this surgery. Once again I have been reminded that I have had "major surgery." Yet I am baffled because nothing hurts the way…

  • The surgeon is happy with the way I'm healing . I've been warned to be wary of doing too much and inflicting an umbilical hernia on my own bad self.I picked up some new yarns today. I'm doing an entirely different frin…

  • The walk was exactly what I needed. Not the walk up the road and then back up to the house. Perhaps I exaggerate a tad, but I do live in Ripton where it seems as if every where one goes one must go up to get there. I …

  • Ennui has set in.The problem? I'm having trouble feeling useful. I didn't get outside yesterday. Today should be a good day for it. Why am I typing on this think when I could be outside devising a trip to the general…

  • Swan Lake Summers Oh!“Take It Easy” wasn’t hardLove in a Canoe For Daily HaikuBlessings abound

  • Yeah, that whole peanut butter on toast thing? Hellaciously bad farts from the peanut butter. One could literally smell the peanut butter in the fart. This does not bode well for eating peanut butter and being able to …

  • I tried some peanut butter on toast today. Hopefully, in small amounts peanut butter will agree with my body.My neighbor also brought us some wonderful bliss in a measuring cup: Corn chowder. Even with her substituting…

  • Could someone please explain to me how the weather causes trouble for people?I understand big picture trouble like hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes. I don't understand living in the state of Vermont in January and being …

  • We've got an interesting mix of ice storm and snow today. I walked farther today than yesterday. Still none of the hideous lower back pain that's been plaquing me for the last year. I've found some anecdotal evidence …

  • It all came out well in the end.The shower was glorious.The glue continues to peel and flake.Really hoping nothing dehisces here, folks.Highly unlikely, but still possible.Lots and Lots of delicious sleep today.And the P…

  • Day II of being home.It's good to have a goal. So far I've walked (according to the spouse) one hundred fifty yards up the road and back. Of course, that meant changing into yoga pants and sweater and coat. The snow w…

  • Very briefly: I was admitted to the hospital for vomiting and dehydration tuesday night. Fluids, anti-nausea drugs and pain meds until Thursday. Gall bladder out Thursday. Had one stone inside. It's assuming mythic pr…

  • Here is what one does with a gall bladder with unruly gall stones. One has them surgically removed. Well, on the patient education video it looked more like Ripped Out in an Operating Room. They showed, in very graphi…

  • Is there some point at which one discovers that there is another lifetime to persue after this one because one has a "do-over" since the contract wasn't fulfilled for this lifetime? And when do you know? Or is each mom…

  • Good Golly, Miss Molly! I've got Gallstones!Perhaps it's not TB so much as Gallstones.This is good news- in my world at least.Then again, could be a little of both. But for now I have an explanation that does not involv…

  • Another mixed bag of a day. This means, to me, it was neither good nor bad but both. The drudgery of working in an office with people who aren't happy juxtapositioned with a new medical assistant who likes what she doe…

  • Explosions of Black Olive Goodness.Swirls of Parmesan tease my tongue.Sweet bites of hearts of Romaine.Glowing Garlic glistening on my tongue.God, I love it when a recipe comes together.Blessings abound

  • Life is fuller and deeper every day. More intrigue at work. One who is leaving is stirring the pot. I had respite from some of it today when I received the day off due to scheduling errors at the office. I paid for i…

  • I've started out the new year with a purposeful stride towards keeping things from hanging over me.I've completed Boy Wonder's FAFSA for the 2007-2008 school year. I'll have to update it once the taxes are completed, bu…
