  • Saturday morning coffee pot post

    Doesn’t look like I’m going to yoga this morning. I slept late and I have things to do this morning. Sleeping late was so wonderful. I moved into the other bedroom around 4 a.m. and so I wasn’t awakened by snoring or cats using me for a pillow or a balance beam. And then, I…

  • I’m sure that I passed the test, but I know that I blew one big slide ID. I hope that the professora is kindly and will note that I at least got the point about the importance of the symbolism in the mosaic. I hate memorizing dates and locations. I can’t remember musicians and titles…

  • Educayshun

    I’ve spent too much time daydreaming about traveling and art retreats and such and did not get the kind of studying done that I should have for my exam tomorrow. I glanced at the study guide earlier this week and have been rereading the textbook. Now I look at the study guide and I’m supposed…

  • The Italy trip is off again. I’m not totally surprised because I knew that Susanne would have some major hospital bills from this summer. To tell the truth, I was stressing a little bit about spending the money. What is ironic about it is that I found out just after I decided to try to…

  • Sunday morning coffee pot post

    Sitting out in the gazebo this morning. I’m telling you, when it is not muggy and warm this is my favorite place other than Lake Waccamaw. Which was kind of the point when I bought this contraption last summer – I needed a beautiful place to hang out that was screened to keep away the…

  • Gah. Feels like I travelled back in time to last Saturday. Sinus infection comes roaring back and puts my puny self in its place. I did go to the yoga session this morning, and I will continue to do this. Zha K and daughter picked me up and also took me to lunch to Fishbones…

  • Work potluck tonight – fun, good food. I bound one book that I really like and I hope to bind a few more by Sunday afternoon, when I’ll post photos. The fabulous Zha K and I are going to the Green Bean tomorrow morning to a yoga session. It will be the first real sustained…

  • Still not much to say. Not feeling terrible. Not feeling great. I’m hitting one of my busy periods at work so at least the days are going quickly. Here’s a little teaser: I should have several new books by Sunday and will post photos and put them on Etsy. Made potato salad tonight for a…

  • A rather dull day, but the weather was beautiful. We turned off the AC for the year Sunday night. I’m delighted to spend time in the gazebo again, and I’m pleased with my artwork. I just finished Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. I picked it up on the free shelf and wanted to read it because…

  • Much Ado About Nothing, or, A Day with Dentists.

    I had the crown replaced with a temporary this morning, which only required one novacaine shot that barely hurt. They seemed to be prepared for my argument against going to the endodontist this afternoon, smiled sweetly, and told me that it would be best to go with the original plan. So I came home, ate…
