For Kelly

[This was written about, oh, two weeks ago? I started writing it and then fell dead asleep in the chair. -A]
It has been what, a million years since I’ve posted? Yes, yes. It’s been a million years and there’s so much to catch up on. In fact, now that I’ve checked, I see that it’s [...]

Kind of a busy week

This week has been a busy one. Jeff’s hours have picked up so it’s been all me all the time. I’m not complaining in the least, though. Extra hours mean extra money in the bank to offset the weeks when OT is scarce.
Wednesday Izzie’s class had an adorable Mother’s Day party for the moms. Nothing [...]

Don’t kill me, dear Kelly

I know. I was horrible about posting last month. By the time I got five minutes of quiet time to myself, I was usually too tired to write anything at all. Too much has happened for me to catch up on so I’ll have to wipe April clean and move on. It will be like [...]

You know, I’m used to the low side of bipolar disorder. The depressions are what I experience most and just last week I started coming out of what was a fairly bad one. Part of it was the stress of moving or at least it was brought on by it but either way it went [...]

This morning and this evening

A blog in two parts.
This morning:
I’m sitting in Charly’s having breakfast feeling so relaxed I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s been awhile since I’ve done the breakfast-while-the-kid-is-in-preschool thing and it feels so good. Since they are closed on Mondays I’ll only be doing this one time a week but it’s still wonderful.
I’m [...]

Boxes holding boxes

I ordered a bunch of packing stuff from U-Haul and it arrived today. Now I have boxes holding boxes in my living room to add to the already established mayhem of laundry baskets and general disarray. I’ve packed four small but heavy boxes full of books and random items and I’m going to put them [...]

Oy vey, such a long day!

I am definitely ready for some shut-eye so this will be quick.
Bullet points:

Waterproofing is expensive
Had lunch with mom and it was a pleasant experience
Found out what border paper was for
Kelly, she still likes you
Went to the mall to buy an outfit for a funeral
Clothes are expensive
Went to a funeral <– now it’s on my blog, [...]

Laundry saves lives

I spent much of the weekend either stressed or numb or both depending on how the wind blew. It started out innocently enough but it seems when you give a woman too much time to sit by herself and work herself up, you get to see good old-fashioned Eastern European crazy in action. Now, some [...]

Should be interesting

After dealing with some unpleasantness with my mother yesterday, I took a bit of a break today so that we could both cool down a bit. She became really attached to some exercise equipment that she’s not seen in a decade nor is able to use at all in her condition and we mother/daughter’d it [...]
