• Three days down

    Three days into the block. It’s going well. But it’s cold. Tonight will be in the teens. It should be warmer. I’m jonesing to do some gardening and also for the end of the block. Much as I’m enjoying this…

  • Gloriousness

    My local IGA makes bacon sausage. I mean, BACON SAUSAGE!! Got my taxes paid, but not filed. Well, the extension was filed. We’re still waiting for one finalized document. I hate having them not quite done, but at least they…

  • sleep and cold

    I found myself sleeping a lot the last two days. Stayed up a bit later than usual because I could, but I think in part it was the wind and cold on Saturday. It really sucked energy out of me.…

  • Tomorrow’s Book Club

    Tomorrow we discuss A Turn of LIght by Julie Czerneda for book club. Wheee! I will say, however, that because of unexpected soccer scheduling (as in we just got the schedule for tomorrow), we’ll have to start in the afternoon,…

  • Spring yard cleaning

    With improved health, the man and I have been doing work around the house. Because there are green leaves on things. GREEN!!! My roses are leafing out. Yes, I grow roses in Montana. And I have a grape and gooseberries.…

  • I survived! and my Norwescon Schedule

    I survived the sleepover. Except that girlie now has what you might euphemistically call intestinal distress. By which I mean I’m washing a lot of clothes and her sheets (that I incidentally watched just yesterday) because, well, it got ugly,…

  • The state of me

    Is surprisingly sane. I have an extra girl here and apparently little girls turn into freaking cocaine-jumped-up kangaroos when they get together. They were (thankfully and finally) playing outside when a friend drove by with her father and she stopped…

  • Dead Roman Emperors and life

    It was Roman day at boy’s school today and he was assigned a famous Roman to dress up as. He wore a toga and gold laurel head piece and this ornament pin we made him. So that was exciting. Oh,…
