I finished Scarf No. 2 that I am knitting for Christmas presents. Here’s the one for my 1o year old niece (sorry for another over-exposed pic): I did something new–I went off the path of the pattern and added a decorative edge. I dig it, even though there is a “right side” and a “wrong side” [...]
CS was not able to accompany me to Children’s Hospital to get Sun’s EEG. No matter. She and I arrive and are called in no time. First, the nurse cleans Sun’s head with gritty soap. She comments that Sun didn’t cry for that part and how odd that was: “What a good baby girl,” she [...]
A horse walks into a bar. Bartender asks, “Why the long face?” A duck walks into a bar. He orders a martini and tells the bartender, “Please put that on my bill.” A guy walks into a bar. The next guy ducks. I confess. After 28 days (28!), I’ve got nothing for NoBloPoMo. So I [...]
CS asked if I wanted to join him for breakfast this morning. It was an out-of-the-blue oddball offer. I jumped on it. So Sun and I joined him at Le Madeleine and enjoyed a quiet meal together. Then CS was off to work and I was off to run two errands. First, I returned to [...]
Yesterday as I was nursing Sun, she closed her eyes and relaxed. Then she started to shake all over–almost like she was jumping in her sleep. I gently shook her to no avail. I gently shook her again with no effect. I looked around not knowing what to do. CS was running an errand and [...]
Some time ago, we gave our VCR to a sick friend. When we went shopping for a new one, CS said to me in the store, “We should get TiVo instead.” I responded, “What’s TiVo?” That was a good three years ago. These days, if I can’t get my hands on the remote, I won’t [...]
CS and I headed out early to hit the Arts Market of New Orleans. We got there about 30 minutes after it started and were at it for well over an hour. We bagged gifts for four friends in that time. Now that’s my kind of shopping! It had more artists featured than I can [...]
With our vacation getting canceled, we attempted to have a little vacation at home. We slept in (til 8am, anyway, because of Sun), ate leftover cheesecake for breakfast, napped, then headed out for lunch. After lunch, we headed to Magazine Street for shopping. Unfortunately, we didn’t get very far because my mild headache was growing. [...]
For many years now, CS and I have traveled for the long Thanksgiving holiday. We’d take advantage of the fact that my office is closed on Thursday and Friday and all I needed to do was take Wednesday off (or maybe Tuesday, too) to get a nice stretch of time away. Last year, we took [...]
My husband talks in his sleep. Often, it is things like, “Tell Bob I’ll call him back when I am off the phone with the distributor,” as if he’s going about his normal day-to-day affairs at work. Does he really dream about returning business calls? Early on in my discovery of his talking in his [...]
