Today's Writing EffortSecond verse, same as the first. James is still sick and so is Sappho. Jenny says she's not sick, which is a miracle since she's been taking care of a sick 4-year-old for the last week. I did animal chores for James, but Jenny says I don't need to do them for her tomorrow. Part of me thinks she's just looking for a reason ( Read more... )

So winter is finally really here. We're in the middle of a winter storm and have gotten perhaps 2-3 inches in the last couple of days. I checked How Much Will It Snow, but they don't have data for today yet ( Read more... )

I went to town today for groceries and ran into a gal that I hadn't seen since High School graduation ... almost 30 years ago. Her name is Erin Greytak. Here she is in our yearbook. It was crazy running into her. She said that she knew it was me as soon as I turned around in the Walmart. I'd gone in for something that I ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortYesterday I jammed the big toe on my right foot rather badly coming up the stairs from the laundry room in my slippers. I think it's broken, so walking is a bit of a challenge right now. Thankfully, most of what I've been doing today (writing) doesn't require walking. I'll see about going ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortI managed to get my laundry washed and dried, but not put away. I had all my chores to do, and then I had to renew my Medicaid and make an appointment for Apollo's annual checkup. The second call was quick, but the first call took forever. I was on hold for over an hour and twenty minutes ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortJames and I helped Jenny do animal chores this morning since she is dealing with an old injury that's causing her some pain today. I'm down to two days a week on animal chores. I do, however, have to clean the entire house at least once a week. And that takes at least 5-6 hours ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortI was not my best today. It was Sappho's third birthday, so Jenny threw her a party. She invited two of Sappho's little friends and their moms. Mariah came over with Ethan, Miko, America, and Sterling. It was chaos and it was loud, and I mostly hid in my room and worked on my crochet. I was still a bit sore from my biopsy ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortI had another early appointment, but I chose to do animal chores after I got home. Instead, I had a good breakfast and a thoroughly hot shower. I even shaved. All because I was having a biopsy on some tiny calcifications in my right breast. It's usually just calcium deposits, but there is a small percent chance that it ( Read more... )

I had to get all of my morning chores done early so that I could go to Novus Glass to get the windshield in the truck replaced. At least I got some work done on my new crochet project while I was there. I am making the Cora Throw Blanket in Ocean and Gold for my dear husband. It will match the wallpaper in his bedroom. I ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortJames took Bastion to work last night, which let me get a whole night's sleep. I've been having trouble doing that though, because I'm used to getting up in the middle of the night now. *Le Sigh ( Read more... )
