YESTERDAY

Yesterday was harsh! It has been raining and cold for the past 3 days and humidity hovered around the 100% mark for the duration, causing every bone in my body to remind me about the many knocks they took with the contact sports I played in my youth. Ouch! My poor Mommy, the oldest beast here, has... Sign in to see full entry.

YOU'RE SITTING IN MY CHAIR!

How is the seating around the table done in your home? Does each person sit in that one place for meals, or maybe even every time you gather together? When we were kids on the farm, my foster grandmother would sit at one end of the long kitchen table, with my grandfather at the head. Come to think... Sign in to see full entry.

THE SQUIRREL SAGA

Karen came upstairs, carrying coffee, and was making her way to the dining room table. She stopped short. “What is that?” she asked, pointing towards the chair she uses whenever up here. I leaned over to get a look. The seat in question was sprinkled with what looked like crumbs of drywall but, on... Sign in to see full entry.

RESPECT

My bed was more than welcome last night. By the time I got home from work, ate something and did a stint in the Jacuzzi, I’m not sure I was still conscious. I THINK I said goodnight to poor Karen, but I wouldn’t bet my life on that. I vaguely remember the beasts cuddling up to me, then I was out... Sign in to see full entry.

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THOUGHTS

My DIL is doing as many hours as she can at the moment so that she can take time off when my son goes in for his surgery. Because her shifts are in late afternoon and early evening, I get to care for Little Flea until daddy gets home from his job around 7 or 8 PM. It was planned that yesterday be...

APPLIANCES POSSESSED?

My Keurig left me hanging the other morning. This is the 4 th or 5 th one to come through my hands. The lady was NOT happy! I grumbled that I was going to buy an ordinary percolator, and here came Karen to the rescue; she had an extra one lying around downstairs. She cleaned it (it had been in...

Hi my favorite people, I started writing a post yesterday, but things got in the way. They gave me 5 days to work this week - that is 2 too many - but I agreed because they were stuck and because I didn't want to make waves after having missed my second day when sick. I do have the weekend off... Sign in to see full entry.

DANGER??

Perfect weather yesterday here! Sun was shining and it was warmer, an ‘open coat stroll’ kind of day. I went into work for 2:00 PM and parked as far away from the building as possible in the designated employee area, but the walk still wasn’t long enough. When we finished up it was dark, and one of... Sign in to see full entry.

A NEW WEEK

The head cold is slowly leaving my system. I was able to go to work yesterday with a little help from non-drowsy medication to slow the coughing and nose blowing. There were new things to learn, and soon my mind was more on that than the lingering symptoms – the old ‘break your little finger to take... Sign in to see full entry.

UGH!

UGH! I am sick. It’s a head cold with all the trimmings; sore throat, congestion and runny nose, sneezing, coughing, eyes watering, ears ringing, fatigue, headache….and it’s not going anywhere fast. There was no way I could work my shift on Thursday, so I had to call off sick for my second day at... Sign in to see full entry.
