It was a very busy day again (of course). We got a lot of things done while many people in the office were on site for the Junior Parade in Portland's Hollywood District ( Read more... )

No, I didn't go shopping in the afternoon, as originally planned. I went in to work to help Marilyn, who was suddenly swamped with work to do ( Read more... )

Feeling crappy today. It sucks. Sore throat and decidedly fighting a cold. But I'm putting up a GOOD fight. (grin) I've also had an earache and headache. Annoying ( Read more... )

As I mentioned in my blog yesterday, Marilyn and I got our new car today. I love this color we now have -- KHAKI (which is apparently 'award-winning.' The image I've linked doesn't do it justice. Seriously, this is one awesome car. Aside from the new color, this car has a lot of perks: Power moonroof, navigation system, keyless access (push-button ( Read more... )

Henry Update: I'm still keeping a close eye on Henry (and HIS eye). He follows me around a lot right now, which actually makes it easier to watch out for him. He has been scratching a bit, but usually it's with his right leg (not left) -- and he only scratches below his chin line (and not his face). But I'm aware he'll get more itchy as the eye ( Read more... )

So, based on TWO different times recently when I had issues posting my entry, I'm going back to the 'old days' here at LiveJournal: I used to always type my entry somewhere else, then cut and paste it (so I wouldn't lose it). I know that sounds CRAZY, years later, that I'd still be doing that! But I really can't afford the energy, time or emotion ( Read more... )

What's the most horrible feeling you can feel? To be so bone tired you just want to cry. I spent the last half an hour forcing myself to GET UP, because I have to do some things before I can lie back down and just SLEEP. And it felt awful. I really thought I wasn't going to be able to get myself up at all. (sigh ( Read more... )

Just home. I'm going to try and fix something for dinner, as we haven't eaten such lunch (McDonald's, thank God). Except for bad popcorn that we had at the Hollywood Theatre, attending the IYSFF Awards event, that went on FOREVER. We will NOT be attending that event again next year, you can believe me ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm backdating, because it's now nearly 2:00 a.m. in the morning. But I want to relate what happened on TUESDAY of this week ( Read more... )

Marilyn left the house quite early (7:00, I think). She had her final GFP meeting this morning, prior to the parade on Saturday. I never attend it, so I stayed home and got an extra 45 minutes of blissful sleep! Lucky, lucky me ( Read more... )
