My house has a pretty large backyard, especially by SF Bay Area standards. We were also bequeathed lots of trees back there. Most of which we ended up getting rid of, but we did keep several fruit trees. Our plum tree has been going crazy this year.

Do my sweeties know me or what? In the last couple of days I received these two links: from loracs Bacon Camp and just now from serenejournal Bacon Flowchart

There's nothing like a few dozen dishes falling out of the kitchen cabinet to get the old heart a pumpin'

I guess a shelf gave way. I was reading the slush pile for 42 Magazing and it sounded like the house was coming down around my ears. Everthing is fine except loracs she lost some of her Xmas dishes. :( Fortunately none of the dishes of her mother's ( Read more... )

26 years ago today, loracs and I moved in together! They said it would never last. No eloquent words are coming to me today, not that I ever think of eloquent words. I love you sweetheart. Thanks for sticking around. It's been quite a ride, eh?

I came down with cellulitis yesterday (actually Sunday evening). I'm on antibiotics already, thank you on-call doctor, 24-hour pharmacy and especially my sweet, sweet loracs. I was disappointed because I had been feeling so physically strong earlier that week. Anyway, as often happens in my life along with the truly sucky stuff, there is a little good. I ( Read more... )

Tomorrow will be my 50th birthday. It's kind of a startling statement to me. 50. I keep getting hit with the realization that I've been on this planet a pretty long time.

It's hard to believe I've done anything for 25 years, but today it appears that I have. For 25 years I've lived with a truly talented, beautiful, brilliant, amazing person. loracs and I signed our first lease. She's seen me at my worst and hopefully at my best. We have built a life that I'm very proud of. For all these years, the good and the bad. I ( Read more... )

Boy howdy, it's good to have loracs home and healthy. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast and lasagna for dinner! I'm also getting a big jump on my various organizing projects. I put 1 1/2 long boxes of comics into my online database. We may get some of the study organized too! Life is so hard for me today. :)

For those who don't already know, loracs gave birth to a bouncing baby gall bladder yesterday (or was it the day before yesterday?). I think she's in a little bit more pain than yesterday, but she's home. Thanks to serenejournal we have both eaten well, slept and it almost feels like we're back to normal.

For those who haven't read it elsewhere, loracs had an "adventure" this morning :-(

I'm sure she will be feeling it tomorrow, but right now she seems fine with the exception of an impressive Shiner in her right eye and some general soreness.
