Been away, back now (mostly)
I've been away from LJ for a long time, trying to deal with Real Life. But now it is summertime and the living is, if not easy, then at least easier. The Kid is loving her camp (LARP)and there is ALMOST always ice cream in the freezer. It's not a bad life really. Now if I could stop being so tired, things would be better.... -
Yay!
Okay, it was 2 below zero yesterday morning. Okay, the bus was wicked late. Okay, my husband waited 48 minutes for a bus which is supposed to run every ten minutes or less. Okay, I ate dinner alone because my family didn't get home until 6:45pm ( Read more... ) -

Her temp is currently 102.1 and I see a long day ahead of trying to get her to rest, drink something, drink some more, drink some more, etc. I'm going to have my husband pick up some pink lemonade mix--I'll make a dilute batch of that and she can ( Read more... ) -
AARGH! SNOW!
I am not ready for it to be winter yet. Heck, I'm barely ready for it to be fall yet. The neighbor's yard is turning white and the cats are trying to trap snow flakes against the window (they are, of course, failing). Me, I just finished making a pot of stew and I'm going to go turn up the heat. I am not ready for snow to be sticking to the ( Read more... ) -
Question for you
