Last week was mostly quiet. Did a bit of work outside with more to come due to the landscape work likely getting done this week, had a few other things to do, and took an overnight trip to Philadelphia. We found out that the landscapers are probably coming to do the work we wanted this … Continue reading Road Trip, It Was a Road Trip
I have been slacking again, I know. But, really, there isn't much new going on and I have felt kind of stressy lately. I don't know why that is, either. On most fronts, things are at a holding point. The BaldMan's chemo is ongoing. He just finished the third of six treatments last week. He's … Continue reading Catching Up
Because I could sure use some of that energy that "keeps going and going and going." Mine lately has been gone and gone and gone. I am just tired all the time, and nothing sounds better than a nap- or six. Being tired all the time is tiring! Still managing to get to the gym … Continue reading Does the Energizer Bunny Do Transfusions?
The BaldMan made a big decision this week. He is officially retired now. He originally planned to work a few more years, but life seems to have had other plans, and he decided it was time. He does have plans for keeping busy, although right now, those are pretty much trying to navigate Social Security … Continue reading Does This Mean We Have To Move To Florida?
Yes, I know I have been. And for no good reason, really. A few things going on, but nothing that ate up ALL the time. We had more snow. Yay, April, you keep on being the mysterious surprise package you always were! Spring flowers are starting to bloom everywhere. I am working up some garden … Continue reading MIA
A collection of things that have been going on around here of late: We lost my Mom in early May. She was 93, and had a stroke last August which she recovered from relatively well. She had some weakness, although she was walking a little. Her speech was slurred at times and she had trouble … Continue reading Miscellanea
I guess it is. Wow. After the seeming endlessness of the past year, this first month of 2021 has flown past. Or at least it seems so to me. I suppose, in some ways, that's a good thing. It might mean things are looking a bit more normal, right? Anyway, the weather has gotten cold … Continue reading Is It Really Nearly the End of January?
To say, really. I had hoped things would settle down by now, but, nope. It's like some weird, never-ending disaster movie. Can we just roll credits, please? Or, no, wait. Let's just skip straight to THE END. On a more up note (if you are an American football fan): How about those Cleveland Browns? I … Continue reading I Don’t Have Much
We got our first significant snow of the season on Saturday. It started as rain, and progressed to a heavy, wet snow that lasted most of the afternoon. We got maybe six inches or so? A lot of branches down and a few trees here. This is what it looked like off the deck: It … Continue reading Winter Is- No, Wait. It’s Here.
So, it's like day 4,732,356 of the Quarantimes, isn't it? I don't know, I have lost count. I'm lucky if I can remember what day of the week it is. Who am I kidding? Most days, I have to look at the day/date on the computer to know. Are they running together for you, too? … Continue reading Monday Musings: Rain, Rain, Go Away
And So On...
