Tomorrow, I am “seeing” a physical therapist about my back. It is a video conference call. And, of course, my back is so much better. Saturday was the worst. I could barely hobble around the house. I HAD to use a cane to get up from sitting. And my back was constantly spasming. I was…
My shopping is done. Thank the good Lord (whom I don’t believe in), for internet shopping. I’ve decided no tree this year. Just can’t deal with it. Still have some gift checks to write and send out. Need to write our annual Xmas letter. Got the cards for this year designed. Need to print out…
I slept about 10 hours last night. Slept. I did not lie in bed wondering when I would fall asleep. Pretty much right after my head hit the pillow, I was off to dreamland. I did not wake up a bunch of times from hip or back pain, having to change positions. I slept. I…
We did our little jaunt up into the Santa Cruz Mountains; and it was pretty nice, I must admit. It was also a learning experience, since we were at a place we hadn’t stayed at before. I will recommend to you Jaye’s Timberlane Resort – although the term “resort” is thrown about with abandon when…
And oh, how I miss it. What I seem to be losing is agility in thinking. And the ability to multi-task in my thinking. This is most obvious in trying to absorb new music. Holy fuck. Dealing with notes, words and rhythms. My brain just gets increasingly numb. And I get more and more frustrated…
Well, actually, I don’t love to cry – I am an ugly crier. Red blotchy and lots of snot involved. Still, invite me to a wedding and I’ll be there, snot and all (and usually without a tissue). My favorites are small, friendly weddings. This past weekend we attended the wedding of our friends Andy…
Had a total brain fart this past weekend. A friend was having a Halloween party! Yay! Well, yay, except my social anxiety raised its ugly head. I hate to say it, but I seem to be losing the battle against this particular problem. I promised myself at the beginning of the year, I would make…
And you know what that means, right? It means that the weather is getting cooler and cats want to snuggle! No wonder I love the Fall! Our brown tabby, Leo, likes to get on the back of my chair and then climb over my shoulder so I can hold him. His usual trick is to…
Anyone remember my post about the big black spider with the white spot that took up residence in our kitchen sink – the one that turned out to be some kind of fucking jumping spider? Well, her BIG brother has taken up residency in our mailbox; and he is showing no signs of moving elsewhere.…
Yeah. You can’t scare me, I work with lawyers. And in general, I have an abiding loathing for lawyers. Not the ones I work with (of course) – mostly; but just the general concept. Part of this, I believe, can be attributed to living in California. (California, I believe, is an old Spanish word meaning…
