The sound made by a harmonica makes our dog howl and cry. She’s very sensitive. This means we really cant listen to much Bob Dylan.

Set up WordPress on my phone, so now I can post from anywhere. Yeah I’m a bit behind the times.
everything in its right place

Excessive clutter (in my own house) kinda makes my skin crawl, so the next couple weeks will not be easy. Our downstairs is going to be a big pile of boxes and bags and stuff and debris. More than anything, I am freaked out about feeding my family, and keeping the girls happy and entertained […]
no turning back

It’s really happening, our kitchen will finally be a place I enjoy. Yesterday our contractor came over and installed a new energy-efficient window over the sink, then walled-off the eastern-facing window and begin to prep the wall for painting as well as nailed new siding to the outside of the house where the window was.

This afternoon our power suddenly went out when a local transformer blew. Brian works from home and relies on power and wifi to do his job, so off he went to a local coffee shop to work. I stayed home and tried to nurse Audrey to sleep but she wasn’t having it. Freya sat up […]

There is a point during a chest cold when you start forgetting what it was like to not have a disgusting cough, even if it’s only been a week. When you start feeling so very sorry for yourself, wondering WILL THIS NEVER END????? etc etc. Or maybe it’s just me.

I had reason last weekend to look at an old journal of mine from when I was nineteen years old. I still have my old journals, and lately if I do find myself reading them (particularly the older ones), I wonder why I keep them around. How are they serving my present self? It’s painful […]
gold filter

Having a really good strong cup of coffee from our new coffeepot. It tastes so much better than the old one did, kind of makes me wonder how corroded and gross that old thing was. Or, if it’s just that using a gold filter really does make that big of a difference. Everyone else is […]

I feel a bit better today. I had a much-needed visit from friends to set my mind right, and then today the sun even came out a little, though when we all set out for a family walk at noon, it promptly began to rain. We walked anyway, because we live in Washington. My Baby […]

I requested that Brian bring me chocolate when he went out to run an errand on his lunch break today. Hoped it might cheer me up a little. He brought me a little box of chocolates, still waiting for that mood lift to happen. Nothing like eating your feelings!
