It was not a really interesting day. A lot of slogging, no lunch away and late night at work. Things finally came of the hot list for now because of all the effort, so the short term benefits are good (long term of the stress on the other hand are still under discussion ( Read more... )

This had to be posted, after talking do so many people over the past week about my vast cabinet of unused pain killers from dental visits. They will now be going straight to a litterbox near me. Yeah, somebody asked if the cats would get at them. I did not explain very well beforehand that it would be on the way to the garbage. The cats are ( Read more... )

I do so appreciate this time of year. The quality of light that bathes the house in the afternoon is mine to enjoy today. Such good stretches and cool air. Maybe sometime soon it will be that fresh and clean inside. Poor Fox isn't feeling well and stayed home sick so I tried not to gloat so much. That is pretty easy when vacation is so close ( Read more... )

I figured I would have no excuse not to post today because I took the day off to watch over the HVAC guy. All the same, it is 9PM when I start this. It may be my imagination, but things seem chillier even though what he was here for was preventive maintenace. The biggest thing in our lives otherwise is getting used to inhabiting the family room ( Read more... )

In picking my mood and music, i submitted that entry. Now i can actually ( Read more... )

Welp, it's the second ice day off from work. This morning, I got smart and slept in, knowing that things had been called off. Now I'm regretting it for the pressurized timeline of getting anything done. I have now two long running lists and it is not late enough in the year to start abandoning either one. In fact, I am feeling so motivated that ( Read more... )

I've been busy being proactive and even productive tonight but I thought I would take a moment to say how I will be avoiding the advice on NPR/TPR this morning. DH told me about it, actually, and I have not even considered looking it up for the first dereliction of my sustainable yarding duties. I find it incredible though, that they recommended ( Read more... )

With gas prices accelerating skyward as they have been, I have been looking at alternate ways of getting to and from work. As it turns out, the best way for me to go would be to Park and Ride at Crossroads and bus from there and then take a bus back to the house. Any matching trip would have an extra transfer one way or the other. Haha, so my ( Read more... )

It seems that I am bound to post about some of the hapless things that I continue to do even if with my nature it does not agree. Today the incident involved the nice-and-sharp pruners with which I had not cut back the roses until a point this evening. Practicing proper rose sanitation, I wipe the blade off after every plant. This time, my angle ( Read more... )

I am back on the case. I've had my coffee and my buddy is back up and working. I've had actually a liter of coffee and am now working to eliminate it with at least as much water. T-bomb has not yet arrived. It is a strange week because he and Falcon will be traveling. He says he is late preparing for the trip. Why he couldn't have packed and ( Read more... )
