I've been very busy with work for the last two weeks, so I haven't gotten much done, alas.

I am sitting at my desk, working on writingy things, listening to my "Non-Ambient Electronica" station on Pandora, and Foundling is sitting on the back of my desk chair and occasionally pouncing on my braid when it swings too close. Life is pretty good, despite the lack of NgithOwl work for the last week+. Ah well, soon enough I won't even be *able ( Read more... )

I swear, my sleep capacity has doubled. Okay, that's an exaggeration. But I used to function on just under 8 hours. These days? I need to be in bed at 9 PM unless I've already had a 3-hour nap in the afternoon.

Did I mention the naps? They eat my productivity like whoah. But on the days when I'm not going in to NgithOwl to work, they are almost ( Read more... )

Phil and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary this weekend. I think this is pretty fantastic, and I attribute it to us both being extraordinarily stubborn individuals.

On our actual anniversary, April 1st, Phil brought home ten roses (1) and then we took each other out to dinner (2) at Crave (3 ( Read more... )

I am so delighted that Spring seems to be making inroads into Minnesota! At last! Enough snow has melted that we can open the back gate again. Soon it will be warm enough to start planting things. Our CSA will start soon!

This week I have been getting things done, I just haven't been as ( Read more... )

Phil may no longer be feverish, but he's been having severe arthritic pain and swelling in his joints since the fever went away, and it isn't getting better. It's bad enough that he can't do some things and he's being woken up in the middle of the night by the pain when the painkiller wears off. This is Not Good. Husband is broken, and that is ( Read more... )

Phil is no longer feverish! Huzzah! This doesn't mean he's well, precisely, but it does mean he's going in to work today. Although the fever's gone, the joint pain and swelling remain. We're going to give it a couple of days and then make a doctor's appointment if that symptom doesn't go away too ( Read more... )

Sunday, much miscellaneous writingy stuff was finished. Aside from that, it was the usual (except no church, because Phil was still sick ( Read more... )

Phil is still sick. He's doing a better job juggling acetaminophen and ibuprofen to keep the fever down, but whenever he waits too long, it goes right back up. Yesterday his hands swelled up like an arthritic old man's--a quite common effect of having a fever. If he's still ill tomorrow, it's back to the doctor for him! Because Phil does the ( Read more... )
