Oh, have I been looking forward to this morning. No real plans, other than to study for my exam on Monday and to get materials ready for this week’s trip to Journalfest in Port Townsend, Washington. Guido is galloping around the house like a racehorse. He is 13 years old and still a kitten. Lucy…

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,…

Maybe it helped to get those complaints out of my system, or maybe it helped that I spent the late afternoon with good friends, or maybe it helped that Sandy and I had a delicious meal at Fishbones, now a weekly event. At any rate, I feel much better. My iris leaf and abaca pulp…

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…

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…

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…

Breaking in the new camera Yesterday went fairly well; although I couldn’t find the energy to make paper, I got a lot of other things done. The fabulous Zha K and I did a massive Greensboro Curb Farmer’s M arket trip. The seafood guy was there with sea scallops and large shrimp that he brought…

Let’s see if I can get in a quick SAMCPP before the fabulous Zha K whisks my dopey ass away to the farmers market in the next hour. Last night I finally dealt with the pile of tomatoes that were beginning to rot on the counter. Good heirloom tomatoes do not sit patiently for weeks.…

This coffee pot post will be a planning post, as I’ve done enough navel-gazing this week online and it is time for some action at Chez O’Neill. Things I need to do this weekend: -Weed whack the yard before the neighbs complain to the city. -Cook some dishes for the week ahead – maybe eggplant/tomato,…
