We, unfortunately, forgot to take a pillow with us to church this week because we were remembering to nuke "Beary"-- a stuffed bear microwavable heating pad-- for me. That said, my holiday was spent doing a lot of sleeping and taking a lot of ibuprofen. I failed at trying not to be a grumpy-gus this weekend, and I kept going between devil-woman and ( Read more... )

I've been keeping mum about motorbike accident stuff because I haven't really had the energy to talk about that. Firstly, it's still frustrating to know that one day everything is going fine and then in a single moment someone's random mistake/neglect can so suddenly and completely eviscerate the little joy out of life that we had going on for a ( Read more... )

My sister's wedding was Monday, February 21st-- President's Day. I had the day off, but Jordan had to take the day off... unpaid... because he ran out of paid time off (PTO) and his work celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Personally, I'd rather have President's Day off since MLK Jr. was a womanizing man-whore. (Yes, history seems to forget to ( Read more... )

Christmas was fun despite having Bronchitis. We spent it with my parents in Phoenix. Jordan and I drove up there Thursday evening. I remember getting there very tired and very cranky. I'm fairly certain I went right to bed, and that I was up and down all night coughing junk out of my lungs. Jordan took me to the doctor's office Thursday afternoon. ( Read more... )

I'm going to be a party pooper here and come right out and say it-- I HATE going to firework shows. I like the shows, but I really hate the race to leave and the big crowd and the waiting for dark. But, my sister really wanted to see a lot of fireworks and the coolest show in these parts is the one in Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's put on by the ( Read more... )

My mom drives down to Tucson to visit me about every 6 weeks-- she comes down to have my SIL do her hair. This time, she'd talked my dad into taking that day off (because he "never" uses sick time) and coming down Friday for a visit. They had big plans to come visit. This visit was to follow a training conference my dad was doing around Virgina. My ( Read more... )

I'd have to say this last weekend was too short. I just felt as if I didn't get anything done.

Sure, I wrapped up a few unfinished projects that had been laying around the house-- I painted the wood in Jordan's shadow box and finally put the "world map" Jen (adelrya) gave me in the frame I bought about 8-months ago. I also got to do some scrapbooking... ( Read more... )

I almost didn't make it to Fort Lowell Day today-- it only ran from noon to 4pm and we were an hour late so we missed the Calvary drills ( Read more... )

Friday Jordan and I spent most of the day watching movies. Okay, not most of the day, but it sure felt like it was an all-day thing. I stayed up waaaay too late Thursday night... trying to find a particular murder article for Bisbee, Arizona on Feb 22, 1920 at the Library of Congress. Unfortunately, I did not pass go or collect two hundred dollars ( Read more... )

Work has been busy. Life has been busy-- mostly battles against illness. Subsequently, I've been slacking at keeping up with things in life... or at least with writing them down ( Read more... )
