December cup and Christmas Tree…

November and start of December have seemed to pass in a haze at times. Hyperion and I have both had swine flu. However, we both had lots of commitments — things that just can’t be pushed off. Some days it seemed like pushing that boulder up a mountain just to do it over and over […]

It snowed most of Saturday…

A bit late to say so but it snowed most of Saturday. We didn’t intend to go out but realized that mailing deadlines were approaching and some things just needed to be finished so we could mail them out. So, we got all the odd jobs taken care of on Saturday — driving wasn’t too […]

It’s definitely the flu

I’ve been kidding myself and I suppose you all knew that, right?  It’s definitely flu and since I got a flu shot months ago and I’ve got all the symptoms except fever — I’m guessing swine flu.  I have asthma and allergies and the past three days I’ve been forced to use my rescue inhaler. […]

Monday thoughts on the things we carry…

It has rained all day today.  It seems like it’s rained more than not lately.  Matches my mood though since I’ve been headachy and out of sorts — maybe flu maybe not.  Hyperion though definitely has the flu but is back to work (out of sick time).  Luckily the Thanksgiving holiday is coming up so […]

10 Things I Wish I could do…

Thought I’d give a run at this meme: 1. Get a pilots license and fly a plane — just a small one, fixed wing.  Took lessons once and have 9 hours of flight time. 2. Speak a foreign language.  I took three years of high school French.  Two years of college German. One year of […]
