Cars, ick

So we keep a heap in our driveway because it was built in 1978 and is constucted of metal (unlike the cars of today) and it’s call a Malibu.  It belongs to Chris and he loves it.  I get that. We also keep another heap in our driveway that belongs...

Define yum

Dunking a chocolate almond chunk biscotti into a steaming cup of french pressed coffee.  Hell yes. J

Positive reinforcement

No need to force myself into any positive activities today.  Kyra and Mitchell came over for a visit and that’s as good as hitting the reset button on anybody’s psyche.  They laugh and smile and giggle so freely and so fully that it’s all that anybody needs to cheer up. ...

One hell of a week

It’s been quite a week for me.  Not so much because of work,  I mean, it was crazy-busy, but nothing unmanageable.  But more because of shitty things that have happened. Sunday, neighbor Mary (next door) informs us that she has lung cancer, and it’s not anything that’s operable Tuesday, a...

Accomplishment

So I got some stuff done today.  While I didn’t make it skiing (since I don’t yet own the proper gear) I did: bake a loaf of whole wheat sandwich bread demolish a partial wall that was seeping cold air into our house hang a (half-wall) new sheetrock wall, complete...

Good book

Recently a friend let me borrow the book “Twilight” and I just finished reading it.  It was really good.  For a story that takes place in a high school setting, it’s not very teenie-bopper-ish which was my fear in the beginning.  In fact, I had totally avoided the book and...

The office

So my office is like a whole new room.  The cockpit is gone, having found a new home at Bob’s place and a new owner in Tammy.  My new desk is on a different wall.  File organization is under way.  The new book shelf is set up, and quite full...

Can’t wait to go home

I can’t wait to go home tonight.  My new bookshelf was delivered today.  The one that matches my new desk, and will allow me to pick up stuff off of the floor of my office and put it where it belongs.  And the other day our new disc organizer came...

Does anyone want the cockpit?

I have my new desk all set up, and before I put it out on the curb for all of Holyoke to see, does anyone want the cockpit?  It’s a kitty-corner computer desk with lots of storage space.  I won’t deliver it, but it is free.  Let me know…. J

W00t! I love my truck.

Not only has she gotten us back and forth to NY about a million times, and to VA on our honeymoon, through the Berkshires for day trips, and to RI countless times for vacation, but today she hauled home our new 6 foot long desk and two file cabinets, and our...
