I can't believe it's been a month since I wrote. But then again, during that time, I've been reading some very good books, and with limited free time each day I'd rather read the really good book, then write about the noise in my head.

Right now, I'm down to 1 print book and 1 audio book, so I'm ready to go back to writing, because I really miss it ( Read more... )

Almost couldn't get out of bed this morning. I'm just tired. Should be in bed now. Behave Jen's mare is giving birth tonight (knock on wood...)
Tonight is the coldest night of the month, going down to -5º. Brrrr

SIL & Baby Bro came over with Nova for a half hour after work, to tire Lycan out before Puppy Class. While they were here SIL complained of ( Read more... )

Tonight I am grateful that we are one day closer to the weekend. I am also grateful that Lycan finally fell asleep. (We didn't get to go to the dog park tonight because I had to work until 5:40.) And I am grateful that .... (thinking...) I get to go to bed as soon as I finish this! I sense a theme here.

Too tired for more thane the gratefuls.

I am grateful that the giant crate is out of the living room. It ( Read more... )

Maybe I'll take off a little early today. I'm nothaving a very productive day. Not sure why, but my brain is tired. Probably not getting enough sleep. Amazing how much shorting an hour several days in a row, really takes a toll ( Read more... )

We Are Marquette!

My alma mater moved tonight from the Sweet 16 to the Elite 8.

Another wonderfully productive day. Spent the whole day working on our Workload Workgroup project. We are trying to objectively quantify the amount of work/difficulty any particular caseworker is putting in on their caseload. We identified 23 different aspects of the job ( Read more... )

I'm grateful for my warm bed beckoning me.
I'm grateful fir a very productive Monday.
\I'm truly grateful for the love of my friends.

Turns out that I'm not all that fond of chocolate pasta, which was tonight's dessert. I loved the Cuban stuffed pork tenderloin, and the Irish soda bread biscuits turned out very well. Had a nice time visiting tonight. ( Read more... )
