Firstly, no writing progress today. M had an early morning doctor's appt (regular check-up, aside from her increasingly faddish enthusiasms, he's fine) which disrupted my usual morning routine. He did not sleep well, went to bed at midnight but didn't get to sleep until his usual bed time of after 4 or so and then had to get up at 7 to get to the ( Read more... )

Ordered from two places last week, both were due to arrive yesterday, but only one made it. A package from Aerogarden - a pump for the older hydrogarden, a kit of heat-resistant salad planting pods and a kit of dwarf bush (5-6in tall) cherry tomato planting pods. The box of salad pods had popped open in transit and two of the pods had come undone ( Read more... )

So hard getting out of bed this morning. So cold. It was difficult getting out of bed. I did awaken naturally at 4:30, but didn't get up until after 5 when M got up to use the necessary. Am now downstairs in the kitchen and ... it sounds as though he's already up and showering (!) I hope he's all right ( Read more... )

His plane pulled up to the gate a short while ago - safe and sound. Thank you God. For ten minutes, I had been watching via a flight tracking site which indicated that the plane was over the airport, no change in altitude, no change in speed, no change in anything. Then there was a change - "position unknown". After several refreshes, I went up ( Read more... )

Not feeling so great today - probably allergies (I'm allergic to September, always have been). Whatever the reason, I have a dull aching pain behind my itchy aching eyes, no real appetite (although I keep wanting something to snack on - usually something bad for me) and no energy. B is worried about me - I'm not eating dinner and he's afraid I'm ( Read more... )

The pace is wearing him down. He overslept this morning which means that he only came on long enough to tell me that he didn't have time to come on and chat. I went to bed fairly soon after that (finished watching the episode of Castle that I'd started whilst waiting) but I couldn't sleep and I couldn't sleep. Finally, I got up, went downstairs ( Read more... )

Woke up this morning with this prayer in mind God is with me lying down ( Read more... )

I stayed up late last night in order to chat with M - and he got up early for the same. It was strange, he spoke of arriving "yesterday" - having had a good night's sleep in the intervening time - and I was thinking ... no, you *left* yesterday, you arrived this morning, it's still today. But, of course, it wasn't. Not for him ( Read more... )

My beloved is even this moment winging over the Mediterranean, approaching Tel Aviv in Israel. (Makes him sound like a dragon himself, doesn't that? Rather than the wizard that he is. eta He landed in Tel Aviv @ 10 am Eastern time, almost 4 local time.) I stayed up until 1:30 last night, watching his plane via flight tracker, waiting until he ( Read more... )

Yesterday the high didn't quite reach 70F (21C), today's predicted high is 78F (26C) and the current temp is 62F (17C). Naturally, I did remember to shut all the windows last night, so the house is also warmer for that reason, but I plan to leave the windows closed because our house retains the cool through the day ( Read more... )
