Gah. It’s been a bad two years, pandemic aside. Here is a summary of what happened. I have wanted to write up blog posts to cover all of these things, but honestly it’s been too much. I’d start to write and just get overwhelmed by everything. It...
This is going to be short, because I just can’t write. Within one week, my sister lost two of her three children. My nephew died on Monday. My niece died on Wednesday. Mom and I flew out to be with my sister on Wednesday. Not going into...
It rained a lot on Thursday and all day Friday. Inches of rain and some ice. West of me, like out of the barn, there were trees down and power outages. It poured and poured. Thursday night I could barely sleep because I kept hearing the rain...
I did a stupid human trick at work. I had a day of meetings. I was running late for a meeting so I took the stairs to go up the two floors to my next meeting. My foot caught on a stair and I sprawled onto the...
Not specifically rain rot, it’s more like the creeping fungus infection that the horses get on their feet when it’s been rainy and muddy. Rajiyyah has it pretty bad on her legs. I picked up her feet to clean then out and the underside of her back...
I’ve been updating the fixtures in the house from brass and fake-looking gold plastic to oil rubbed bronze. I’ve changed out all of the door knobs and removed the towel rods from the walls, especially in the downstairs bathroom. I also replaced the light fixture to match...
Here’s hoping that this year is an improvement for everyone! Quite a few of my friends had rough segments this year. Learning opportunities abounded and it wasn’t always pretty. Here’s hoping that 2014 turns out brighter. Related Images:
I’ve been healing very well from the accident. The physical therapist and my regular doctor have been positive and upbeat about how quickly I’ve been recovering. I have been doing regular exercises and trying to not work too much on the computer. The strain from looking down...
I’ve had a rental car since two days after the accident. The insurance company gave me a few options: sedans, SUVs, or one little red Fiat 500. I have looked at Fiats earlier in the year and thought they were cute, so I used this opportunity to...
Last week on Wednesday, I was taking the back way home to avoid accidents on the interstate and ended up in an accident myself. A silver SUV turned left from oncoming traffic across my lane on 54. Major intersection. Lots of traffic. One minute my lane was...
Ceffyl has been moving! I bought a cute townhouse. Closing was October 9th. Most of my time in October has been spent packing, getting the new place situated, and cleaning out the old apartment. I had to give a 60 day notice for the apartment complex and...
I went to the barn with plans for riding. It felt like it had been so long and I just wanted to ride my girls. I had been dreaming about riding them, about the way they move at the canter and how I have to sit at...
A few days ago, I posted about my experiences trying to get information about a condo from the company managing the community’s HOA. This company is HRW, Inc. I called the phone number of the person listed on the “Purchaser’s Research Package” screen and left a message....
I’ve been doing more running and enjoying a fitness game called “Zombies, run!” It’s been the only thing that has had me out running and walking just to listen to story lines. Lots of fun. Great motivation. I’ve always been a sprinter when I did run. The...
I have been looking at houses and condos for a few months. Whenever my Awesome Agent and I look at a condo or townhouse with a home owner’s association (HOA), we ask these questions: What does the HOA cover and what is the owner responsible for? How...
I’ve been researching how to run Linux from a USB stick and was amazed at the options. The best one I’ve found is the Linux Live USB creator, which is great but only runs from Windows. Not so good since I have a Mac at home. Other...
Wow. The articles today reveal that the NSA is pretty much collecting data on every American’s online activity, based upon a story posted by The Washington Post. There is too much stuff to go into right now. I will later, but for now, here is a collection...
