It was brutally cold last night.  I ended up in two pairs of pj pants, a t-shirt, fleece vest and fleece sweatshirt with my wool campfire blanket and a fleece one in my sleeping bag.

We went skiing and I didn't fall.  We made ice cream and it was only partly a disaster.  The kids have been awesome (as usual).  Some of my pals from the summer staff ( Read more... )

Last week one of the Scout Leaders, who is ten years younger than me, lost his Mom suddenly.

Of course, given the state I've been in lately I did something I shouldn't have...

I emailed my older sister.  The one who snubbed me at the Chanukah party because we had a fight a year and a half ago over Th'Princess.

It was a very, very simple email.  I  ( Read more... )

I'm starting to fear going to bed at night-- each morning I wake up with a new source of discomfort ( Read more... )

I managed to screw up my neck in my sleep.  Enough so that my combo of a hot shower and muscle relaxant isn't doing a damn thing.  I'm considering a walk-in clinic but that would eat most of my day.  Wonder if I could score some Valium?  The situation with Th'Princess isn't getting any better and I dread Monday when she realizes how screwed she ( Read more... )

When explaining just how vile my father is I often tell people he got away with murder ( Read more... )

We started shopping at about 11am, I got home at 6:20.  From 2:30 onwards I was wandering through several malls.

I took my Adderall *really* late-- around 6:30pm and I just had some Dr. Pepper.

I am now exhausted *and* hyper.

I'll sleep better tonight though-- I bought us a humidifier for Christmas *and* new pillows.

[My] day came with: 18,000,000 germs trying to set up shop, 1 sleepless night, a panicked call from the parent of one of her sister's friends (at 6:30 am), teeny-tiny Killer Oranges (they jumped of a shelf and drew blood), and a truly impressive tumble that has left lumps on both knees. All this before 10 am. The rest ...of the day was much less " ( Read more... )

It's been a really long time since I fell asleep before putting my mask on. Usually I wake up midway through the night and put it on but this time I didn't.

I still, half an hour later, feel like I'm drowning.

I have a headache that was bad enough to wake me up and there's no Tylenol in the house.  I have to go to the gas station to buy some ( Read more... )

Two hangovers in the space of a week.  So not me,  I blame the cider.

Last night Sultry and I were done work at the same time and decided to go back to Finnigan's Irish Pub a.k.a. my new favorite place.  It has a hot Irish bartender and is four blocks from home.  What's not to love?

Actually, that's a good question.  The answer is: Karaoke Night.
