We Survived Rita
We made it to Bosque County about twelve hours before the mass exodus of evacuees from Houston began. I left at four-thirty Wednesday morning, and made the trip in less than five hours. My sister left with her crew Wednesday evening; it took them ten hours to reach us. I skipped I-45, opting to cruise through Conroe via 105, jumping to Loop 336 and ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I know I've been scarce: with the nephew, then Katrina, and all the miraculous things demons galore have thrown my way... I'm lucky my head refuses to spin even as my ass is getting kicked around. Ah well... I'll have time come tomorrow to answer some emails, providing I make it out of here alive ( Read more... ) -

The New Kid/How Quickly You Can Gain, How Much Faster You Can Fall
Well, crap. I told you, just as I thought that "I am back!", changes in my routine come calling. My nephew now temporarily resides in my back "office/hobby room". There's really no place else I can have my PC; my living room and bedroom are piled up as is ( Read more... ) -
Shaken...
Hurricane Katrina's devastation surrounds us here, in the faces of the adults, elders, and children who flock to our area. I live very close to Houston; the city of Baytown is the place of my birth. All hotels are filled to capacity; because I live close to I-10 East, you can see vehicles lining the feeder road at the rest stops. There were lines ( Read more... ) -
Wow...
Today was pretty damn good. I spent all morning and part of the afternoon on the phone with friends and family. My nephew came over after school, and we spent four hours catching up. This is his first year of high school; me, being the old hen that I am, was amazed to see him sporting a freaking mustache. I remember changing his damn diapers, for ( Read more... ) -
Pfft; Jealousy; Tigrah Reborn
Pfft: After organizing some 175 files this morning, I decided to take a break and sleep all day. Yes, how nice and lovely, how lucky I am sometimes, etc. Truth be told, I'd much rather be up & working, I tried to stay awake; yet I really can't sit for more than five hours without suffering from edema in my ankles and feet. Over the past few months ( Read more... ) -
With my reflections out of the way, I can focus on today's "adventures".
I wish I could concentrate & prepare for the Ren Fest all year long. Of course, I am about to enter that cycle of my life where my creativity knows no bounds. Laugh if you will, but autumn always heralds a reawakening of the artist within me ( Read more... )
