Last year, because we were in a job that had us always on the road, Richard and I signed up for permanent absentee voter status. Then we promptly forgot all about it and it’s a good thing Richard figured it out eventually because when they sent us our absentee ballots for this ridiculous farce of […]
I would have liked nothing better than to sleep in this morning, after being out late last night at craft night (although I’m glad I went because I am *this* close to joining the shoulders on that sweater I am knitting for my youngest nephew and then all that’s left are the arms and the […]
Tonight, I am baking cookies. I am also doing laundry and checking email and trying to clean up the house a little bit because things are starting to pile up in places, and also trying to catch up on all the reading for the bible study (this week it’s about 40 chapters of Genesis […]
Richard and I have signed up for NaNoWriMo again. We didn’t do it last year because our job had us traveling and there just didn’t seem to be a feasible way to handle that much writing when on the road. But we did it in 2001 and really enjoyed it. Granted I wrote 50,000 words […]
Yesterday I decided that it had been far too long since my car was actually cleaned inside and out. So this morning we drove into Davis and had our customary breakfast of cornmeal waffles with pecan butter, but then passed on the regular jaunt over to the farmer’s market in favor of joining the long […]
A few weeks ago I was bored and poking around online, and decided to look for information about synchronized swimming. I’ve known about the Masters swimming program for people over 18, but could never find a team close enough to join. Well imagine my surprise when I actually tracked down a team in Sacramento. It’s […]
We’ve been treating Rebecca for her hyperthyroidism now for probably about three months; the last six weeks of which have been spent chasing her around with a finger full of goo twice a day that has to be smeared in her ear. To say that she does not enjoy the process is putting it mildly. […]
Today started far too early, at about 12:30 this morning when Richard woke me up in a lot of pain. Normally I can wake up fairly quickly, but I had just fallen asleep only about an hour before and had a hard time dragging my brain out of the fog. Luckily I managed to wake […]
I am starting to slowly get more involved in the reading I am doing for this bible study I’m involved in. Next Wednesday we’ll be discussing order, which means that most of the reading for this week is full of lists of rules – rules on when you should stone an ox and when you […]
I suppose I should be tired today, but surprisingly I am not. Or rather, I am only yawning a little bit and I am not starting to doze off while waiting for web pages to load during yet more research online, and I am not getting more than slightly annoyed by the extremely obnoxious lawyers […]
