The alarm rings and I roll over. It’s time to get up but I do not want to and neither does he. “We could just not go,” he suggests, but I know that if we don’t get up and go to meet these friends, that we will linger too long and not get the rest […]
I caused trouble in meetings today. First I asked what the change management process was going to be - again. And yet again, I got no response. But hey, I have to keep asking. People know I’ll ask. They expect me to. Heh. Then I asked when design would freeze. The wishy-washy answer didn’t satisfy […]
I’ve been toying with the idea of making a lasagna all week. Not enough motivation though. Cooking requires going to the store first and somehow that’s too much effort. I even pondered making vegetable fajitas since at least I have all the ingredients for those, but that requires too much effort too. Anything that necessitates […]
Years ago while in college I joined an email list dedicated to cat lovers. It’s gone through a few iterations since - moving from server to server; changing ownership and even names - but it’s always had only one goal - to provide a forum for people to talk about and share their love for […]
I worry too much or not enough - it’s always one extreme or the other, but lately it’s too much. ‘Nine weekends left to the wedding!’ my mom’s latest email read, and there is this voice when I see things like this that sits inside my head and tells me that something will happen between […]
Our new house, unlike the old one, has no carpets. Everything - floors, stairs - is hard surfaced (either hardwood or vinyl).
While this is visually appealing, and quite lovely on hot days because you can walk around barefoot on the cool floor, it has a few downsides. I’m not counting the fact that I’m […]
If Collab - May: If someone close to you was in failing health and only by offering one of your vital organs could they be possibly saved, would you do it? Would you risk your life on the chance that another might survive?
This question is too easy. If one of my family members […]
I did laundry today. I pulled the sheets, damp and clean, from the washer and draped them over one shoulder, then rummaged around until I found the bag of pins and went outside. The ground is hot beneath my feet and I have to strain to reach the line but I clip the first pillowcase […]
A duet with piano and organ, my father proposes. Even as I inwardly wonder why on earth I am doing this, I have agreed to it. I have one week to get ready. I will have to practice, probably every night. I get home from work late enough as it is - now I must […]
Richard called me this morning to wish me a happy birthday, and to tell me that he was going to stay in Stratford-Upon-Avon another day, resulting in him only getting to spend one day in London. I think he was looking for pity; unfortunately he didn’t get it because the reasons for his staying (as […]
