Last night I was having some pain problems, really not comfortable enough to drive to and then sit still for rune study. When the medication finally kicked in, I was restless and wanted to accomplish something. So I tackled two lower bookcase cabinets in Patrick's office that haven't seen the light of day in quite some time. One was nearly empty. ( Read more... )

Patrick and I tackled his office this morning and I am delighted to say that both we and the office won. His desktop is clear, and his bulky button supplies have been moved to the storage room until we need them for Tuscon. We cleared out the file drawer in the rolling cabinet and put file folders there and sorted the papers that were cascading ( Read more... )

Patrick is in Chandler with Mark Horning entertaining the fans at a charity Serenity screening given by local Browncoats. I had planned to go but was up half the night with pain. I slipped into a restless but totally exhausted asleep at 5am. When I finally woke up at 10am it was obvious that I wasn't in any shape to go to Chandler today, so Patrick ( Read more... )

I suggested to Patrick that he try his hand at a cartoon strip. I further suggested that he use our household as a basis for it. I think a cartoon strip from the point of view of three cats and a dog as they watch the odd and inexplicable behavior of their monkey servants would be pretty universal. It would be a character driven strip, because our ( Read more... )

In loving and amused memory of the great George Carlin, who is probably doing a comedy routine in the Summerland for some of the greatest stand-up comics in human history who have been waiting impatiently for this performance for years, I ask the following question of those he has left behind:

*sniffle*

Patrick showed me a You-Tube clip of George Takei that I hadn't seen the other night and I laughed so hard I almost fell off my recliner ( Read more... )

Teaching five water exercise classes in four days is apparently a bit much for my body, especially when three of them is in the shallow water, which is more difficult for me than deep water. Being submerged up to my neck makes it much less difficult for me to injure myself or make myself sore all over. Oh, I can do it. I have done it, it is just ( Read more... )

We are in the third, and sadly, final day of our stay at the historic and luxurious Arizona Inn. We have procured an extended check-out and will be getting our act together soon for a leisurely family meal at Red Lobster before ambling our way homeward ( Read more... )

I just fast-forwarded through a commercial on TV that depicted a feminine hygiene pad walking around on its little "wings" like a creepy little decapitated two-legged family dog. Holy Mother of God! I may have nightmares now about what my maxi pads get up to when I'm not paying attention. I mean, the extra absorbent ones could probably best my ( Read more... )

I taught four water aerobics classes in three days, and did a bunch of other stuff too. Lots of other stuff. I am totally and completely exhausted, but at least I have plenty to show for it, which is better than the days when talking a bath and folding a load of laundry wiped me out for a couple of days ( Read more... )
