My sister called. She will be arriving late today. Thank goodness! Otherwise, I have no idea how I’d be able to completed all of the stuff to do… The closet took way too long last night. My friend was a great help. Boy was I thankful to have her help me with the closet! We…
Okay, so it’s my birthday today. My sister is due here with her family in about 36 hours. I’ve been spending most of my evenings getting things around the house finished. The back door locke have been repaired (finally), vaccuuming is done, front yard is weeded and mowed: lots of little things. The type of…
My sister will be here on Sunday evening with her husband and three children. While I’m looking forward to seeing them, I’m also slightly panicked about getting the house ready. I’ve been slowly finishing projects and getting things put into place. I’ve had one week and still I’m not done… Dishes are done. Kitchen is…
Things at work and at home have gotten hectic. I’ve been spending time at the barn dealing with mares in heat (talk about a good name for a comic strip) and fixing up the house. My sister is coming to visit in a while and I have a lot of work to do! The brief…
My income tax refund came today. Woohoo! It was seven times more than I expected! My CPA said that was the correct amount. Can you say new roof?! Related Images:
February 17-26 I was sick with the same illness I had in December. Yet again. Not fun. This time I saw my doctor (instead of the nurse practitioner). She said I had an upper respiratory viral infection along with bronchitis and a secondary sinus infection. She basically ordered me to bed until the following Monday. I hate…

It is about 2:00 AM. I just heard the first gun shot in my otherwise quiet neighborhood. This is very surreal. The last time I lived in an area where there were gun shots, they were from hunters tracking dear or other game. The time before that was when I lived in Durham. I rented…
One of those weeks. Roof is still leaking. The kitties are going in places where they shouldn’t and leaving presents. I heard something running around in the attic. I was convinced it was a squirrel (luckily it was just a loud heating system kicking in). Most nights I have been hearing something loud, like a…
Okay, so I’m incredibly lazy this weekend. I’ve done some work for clients, but mostly I’ve stayed in bed and slept. I am trying to kick this sinus infection and it seems hopeless. It just hangs on, like a leech. On a funny note… Ambush has started playing with this blue strip of rabbit fur….
The farrier came out this evening. Bad timing: I had forgotten that the farrier appointment conflicted with two classes on Thursday (including belly dance class). Last time the farrier was out, Isis was ouchy in her rear end. She even tried to kick the farrier — unusual for her. The chiropractor was out a few…
This stupid sinus infection has been lingering. I know I should go back to the doctor’s for a different antibiotic. Unfortunately, since it is now pas the new year, I would have to pay on the deductible before my insurance would kick in fully. That means another $100 or so in a month that is…
Happy New Years! Just after midnight, a friend of mine called to wish me a happy new year. Several other people at the party also received calls from family and friends. The song on the radio was “Come On baby light my fire.” What does that mean for the new year? Related Images:
So here it is New Year’s Eve… I’m going to visit with some friends until probably about 1:00 AM. We’re going to watch the (classic version) Wicker Man with Christopher Lee. Excellent movie. Should be fun. Related Images:
