I don’t get to knit much except during those times when there’s not much else to do that requires my hands — so I knit when the PC locks up (which lately is a lot and knitting keeps me from trying to get it to work by pressing keys, thus making it worse) or when […]
Today my laptop decided to take the day off. I didn’t know that’s what it had in mind. I was working along thinking I’d do a few more things and then take a short break and up pops a low battery warning. Now, I’ve got the ‘ol laptop plugged into the UPS which is plugged […]
Today has been a real challenge. Most of last week I kept having lower back pain on top of the usual fibromyalgia issues. It was constant pain with, now and then, a bad twinge. Finally, today I just couldn’t take it anymore and took a muscle relaxer. I figured I’d been thinking it was kidneys […]

Tonight we watched the Muppet Christmas Carol. I love that film and the music. Believe it or not, it’s closer to the original story than many of the serious versions (of which I own about 6). We read the book (A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens) a few years back and were surprised to find […]
It started snowing last night. We made it home from a WSFA meeting. Of course the usual 45 minute ride took slightly over 2 hours and had its moments of sliding and slipping but nothing too bad. We did meet a nice woman who couldn’t get her car up the hill because she didn’t have […]
