My coffee is sweetened with a little bit of dried stevia from the plant I grew three years ago, since I ran out of sugar and hot cocoa mix. I am not a black coffee woman, oh no. But I do have the blues. Both of my hands have gotten progressively worse at a time…

What are these flowers called? They are my favorite flowers and must be an old-fashioned favorite because you see them in the yards of old houses around here. Theo is mesmerized by the sparrow cheeping just outside the window. He just realized in the past couple of weeks that there is an real outside out…

After the post on Saturday about joining an art co-op, which now I admit contained quite a bit of forced optimism, I pretty much fell in a stress hole. And you know one of my favorite Molly Ivinsisms is the First Rule of Holes: When you find yourself in one, stop digging. Instead I was…

It has been a stressful week, but for the most part it has been good stress. I am psyched up and excited about the future. I haven’t had a panic attack, though, which is very encouraging since I have been super-wired and sleep-deprived because of hormones all week. In fact, I haven’t had a panic…

I wonder if anybody in this country is happy with our government right now. It seems to me that the Republicans have the ethics of hyenas and the Democrats have the ethics of jellyfish. I have finally gotten so fed up with politics that I am finally doing what I have threatened to do for…

Oof. Just ordered a new HP laptop from HP online. I think that I’m getting a good deal, and I hope that this laptop lasts until I get it, but man, was that a frustrating experience. For one thing, the website froze up by the time I was ready to order it. So I gave…

I’ve already gone to Susanne’s and the farmers’ market, so I’m working on my second pot. I have found it curiously difficult to write this week, either here or in my written journal. Depression pretty much reigned, so I blame that. I’ve had dreams that influenced my days, and my hip pain is slowly increasing,…

Actually, I made another little pot. I used to drink coffee all day long every day, which finally had to stop due to the fact that caffeine, in large quantities, turns out to be not so good for you. Otherwise I’d have a 24-cup coffeemaker instead of a 4-cup coffeemaker. Gave up trying to post…

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…

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…
