This weather has been nutsy, and as it is with nutsy weather, my joints have been nutsy as well. I take Aleve every day which helps, believe me, but there’s only so much you can do against bad joints. I mentioned in the previous post about how it’ll be nice to get off the couch and get to cleaning, and it’s true I do spend a lot of time on the couch or futon, mainly because of my joints.

We have one of those little dry-erase boards on the fridge, and I’ve pretty well filled it up with things to do around the house on the weekends and in a greater amount in about two weeks. Just random stuff like vacuuming the bedroom and couches, cleaning the closets, rearranging the cabinets in the kitchen, and finally getting the books semi-organized on the bookshelves. All the Continue reading →

Let’s see, I’ve done laundry, spent the last six hours on work stuff, and started a big pot of chili. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m just allergic to onions because despite the fact that I didn’t chop the nasty little thing (the mom-in-law gave me a mini food processor for the expressed purpose of dealing with the horrid little vegetable) and despite the fact that it was oh, about an hour ago that I Continue reading →

I prefer to sleep in on the weekends, mostly because I can’t at all during the week. Kitty, however, has had other ideas and has woken me up early both yesterday and today. So rather than get up at 8 or 9, I’ve gotten up at around 6:30 each day. Some weekend. At any rate, because I’ve been so conscious today, I’ve decided to do some random constructive stuff around Continue reading →

Today has so far been a day of cleaning. I’ve cleaned the aquarium and picked up a bunch of stuff around the living room. I’ve been doing laundry (which reminds me, I need to put the whites away, get the colors in the dryer and start the blacks) and straightening the bedroom. And we got a vacuum! We’ve had a handheld vacuum for several years now which is great on the furniture Continue reading →

Lessee, what all has happened since the last post? The husband and I had a fun time up in the Haute with the Lushbaughs and Miller. We ate at Mogger’s (teh m0st awes0mest tav3rn 3var!) and played some Dungeons and Dragons, killing wantonly and getting tons of l00t. It’s too bad it’ll probably be a couple months before we get another chance to run up there again. On the way Continue reading →

This state is more than a little insane when it comes to the weather. Not only do local areas have crazy weather events and trends, but the state as a whole has a rather bizarre range of weather at bizarre times. Yesterday just reaffirmed to me that this state has some weather issues that not even a shrink could untangle. Continue reading →

So the fever was refusing to go away, the congestion and coughing were making every tiny ache exponentially worse, random organs were hurting, my eyes were stinging, my mouth and lips and skin were so dry I probably could have made for an excellent paper towel commercial, my dizziness and weakness were enough to simply keep me on the floor for random stretches of Continue reading →

Hooray! Let’s celebrate the fact that Ian’s still alive after 29 years! (Hell, I’m impressed he’s still alive after nearly eleven years with me, but that’s not the point.) So Happy Birthday, Baby Doll! You’re snoring right now in the other room, but that’s OK ’cause you’re cute. To celebrate Ian’s birthday, we’re going to have cake and ice cream and sleep off and on all day. Uh, well, OK, the Continue reading →

Last night, the husband and I had a fun evening with Damien at Applebee’s then at his place playing Rock Band (or whatever it’s called). Upon getting home, I went to bed shortly and actually managed to sleep solidly through most of the night, a great feat for an insomniac for me. I guess I should have been suspicious of my lengthy sleep when I woke up, however, because I Continue reading →
