Thirty-two glass jars filled with herbs and spices and labeled with my p-touch. I call it my apothecary. Took everything out of the hall linen closet and refolded and stacked. Used a Martha Stewart tip and put each folded sheet set into one of its pillowcases — easier to stack and to take off the […]

I hate that I can’t run. So much so that I wonder if, as soon as my body has recovered from childbirth, I will start running for exercise, simply because I can. Of course by then it will be December. But that won’t deter me. I’ll leave baby with Brian for a half hour or […]

It’s been almost exactly one year since we drugged the cats, shoved them in carriers, and started the drive away from San Francisco to our new home. It’s crazy that it has gone by so quickly. But my days of being a housewife do feel very far away now. I remember waking up around 8 […]

It seems like a lot of the commercials on TV today for prescription drugs are about fixing guys’ malfunctioning dicks. They pee constantly, they can’t get it up, they can’t keep it up, etc. Is this some kind of national epidemic of the penis? And do we really need to see this shit all day […]

It’s Monday, which has become Clean The House Day for me. I just finished. I started by cleaning myself in the shower — my hair was filthy. I got dressed. Drank coffee and ate breakfast. Then I dusted everything, from light fixtures to picture frames. Started my laundry, made the bed. Cleaned and windexed the […]

So I am curious about people’s opinions on something. Since I left my job and became a stay at home wife, I have voluntarily taken charge of almost all of the cooking, cleaning, and household errands and chores. There are several reasons for this: I don’t mind doing it; I need things to occupy my […]

Sun came out this morning. I rose around 8am, fed the cats, and got dressed. Out the door and to the car, which was encased in beads of water, leftover rain from the night before. I drove down the hill to the market to buy groceries. On the way, I saw a spectacular view of […]

I’ve received two letters here already, from two good friends: a notecard and watercolor/ink drawing from Ert and a thank you card from Claire. Thanks you guys! I am hoping I don’t feel too alone out here, though I have my husband and cats. My dad and Louise left this morning on their long trek […]

This is my first official day of unemployment freedom. The sun is out, it’s a bit breezy. I am only now getting around to my first coffee. I have a to-do list in front of me: grocery shopping, post office, call employee services to ask about loose ends. And of course, writing. And reading. The […]

Got up early this morning, couldn’t sleep. I went for a 40-minute walk around the neighborhood, catching up on podcasts. Came home and realized we are very low on food, so ended up making vegetarian chik patties for breakfast. Mmmm. TVP. Watched two episodes of “Mad Men.” It’s brilliant and addictive. Everyone’s so dissatisfied! The […]
