Got a new toy — a phone

It was time. I’d upgraded my old phone a couple of years ago when it went through the washer. Hyperion still had the original cell phone which no longer really worked that well since when he called me it sounded like he was clear across the room from the phone rather than next to his […]

Happy Thanksgiving or Happy Thursday

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you have a great holiday weekend. If you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, then have a great Thursday. We’re having Turkey and the trimmings — the picture is not our little bitty smoked turkey but one from Amazon — looks great doesn’t it?  Ours doesn’t look that polished and pretty but […]

A smile when you least expect it…

Some days it hardly seems worth getting up Today for instance, it’s wet, rainy, foggy, and cold.  I haven’t checked the outside temp so maybe it’s just me that’s cold.  So anyway, I’m sitting here at my desk shivering even in all my layers and trying to catch up on some work when I get […]

Mixed bag of a day…flu and thoughts on the holidays

My flu/cold/thingy is really getting annoying.  I go from moderately okay to barely able to move and huffing and puffing like I just ran a marathon when I barely walked across the room.  Yesterday, I got a lot of stuff done because I could just sit and work but I needed a few lay-downs on […]

Catching up…

There are days when it seems that no matter how fast I run around or do things that the number of things that still need to be done just keeps growing faster than I can take care of them. It’s like being in one of those nightmare hallways where you need to get to the […]
