This morning, Em started back to school. There’s a peculiar new zoning system in place for the bus, and we’re within a one mile radius of her school… so although it’s a much further walk than that, considering she is not a crow and she does not fly, the bus is no longer an option. […]
This week, several lessons were learned. First, red hair color goes on a lot easier than it comes out. Second, coloring over it is a theory that has now been proven false. Third, the best way to save money is not to first do a thing oneself, try to fix that thing, and then finally […]
Overcast skies and rainy days always put me in the mood to read, when I was young. Now, they put me in the mood to write. Not that I need much encouragement in that regard, but today supplied the perfect creative atmosphere. Disengaged has exceeded 101,000 words, and is on page 286. A brief description […]
Disengaged has new pages, but the best news is that I don’t have to go back for another excision. I get to keep the rest of the skin on my back, because all the margins have now been removed. I am so glad! Time is flying by. This week we registered Em for school. She’s […]
Emily received her final report card. She made straight B’s! I’m proud of her, she worked hard for it. She feels confident that she can handle public school again, so… that’s what she wants to do this year. I messaged Brad, and he was all for it. So, she’s now registered. School starts August 16th, […]
In spite of knowing that their purpose is to provide security for users of Microsoft Windows, I do not like the annoyance of having to wait for my computer to download, restart, and install them. I don’t like to wait at all, but I particularly find it annoying to be robbed of the use of […]
Anika just pointed out that that isn’t the truth. It hasn’t been any longer than any other month with the same number of days. So let me rephrase that. It feels like it’s been a long month–no, it feels like it’s been far too short for everything that’s been packed into it, is more like […]
I was driving home from kitty-care, trying to come up with a reasonable reason to add one of the kittens to our household, when the radio caught my attention. Not the radio itself, but the person speaking. I listen to Air1, and sometimes they play bits of sermons to advertise churches, or pastors, or something. […]
What a day for Em to feel under the weather! It was our day to provide kitty-care for a local shelter. Although the week before, there was one cat and one kitten, this time… the whole place was full to the brim! So many kittens! They all wanted held, and played with, and there was […]
Finally, my mother is back from Ireland! Not that I’ve had a chance to read the latest chapters in “Disengaged” to her, since she got home not long ago, and she’s still on Irish time. But, maybe, that means she’ll get up super-early tomorrow. I can hope, anyway! I’m desperate to read what I wrote […]
