oh hai Helene

I will be making a whole bunch of England entries soon – it was an amazing trip!!! Well, it was amazing after we…finally got there. Which involved quite a fraught situation. Everything not only ...


So there IS THAT! I am always planning to write more and get caught up with everyone, and I do not know what happens. This is a really good time to do it, though. At least to SAY I’m going to do ...

Yikes!!!

Just....yikes. I have not made an entry in OVER TWO YEARS. Of course it’s not like I was making endless bunches of them before that, but still. I have forgotten how to do everything and just spen...

ummmm.......

I keep trying to make an entry, especially after I got so fired up by writing more in the last few weeks than I have in the past year or so, but. I just stare at the blank page and then wander aw...

greetings from Bedlam

It is just remarkably difficult getting used to being back on campus again after working remotely since March of 2020. The noise alone is driving me completely over the edge. ( And OMG, as I was ...


I can’t! But look at me, making two entries in five days! We’re back at work now, waaaaahhhh. It’s not unbearable, but I sure do hate having to get up an hour earlier than I did when working remo...

Edna? Edna who???

I cannot believe I haven’t made an entry in a year and three months. Now I don’t even know where to start!! Amusingly I am sitting in my office for the first time in… a year and four months. So, ...

social isolation survey

Swiped from Search Results. Very timely. Well, it was timely when I started it on April 8. Okay, still timely since nothing at all has changed since April 8. Are you an Essential worker? I am no...

Life in Lockdown

Well, we aren’t really locked down, although our state - NC- is under a 30-day Stay At Home order as of yesterday at 5:00. This means pretty much what we were already doing, although now gatherin...


Yikes - this just shows how fragile our lifestyle is, I guess, and how quickly we can be catapulted into a bizarre new world of quarantines and social isolation and shortages and rationing etc et...

Yikes

It’s got to be a new Prosebox Avoidance Record for me - I haven’t made an entry since October 20. Well, other than one with notes for things to make an entry about. Like “importance of having pho...

Current-ishes

I’ve been trying to make an entry for AGES, to no avail - but it’s slow at work, and I’ve got time to do it, so no more avoiding. And as I have a total mishmash of topics, a Currents it is. Well,...


Well, maybe mid-20th century, since contact lenses became available to the masses in the 1950s-60s, although Wikipedia tells me that Leonardo da Vinci actually introduced the idea in 1508. His pr...

Phillip

First, thanks for all the kind notes about my dad -it’s still hard to believe, and I keep thinking I need to call him. But three weeks ago we found ourselves with a happy addition to the family, ...

Sad news

Ages ago I wrote about my dad having a mild stroke at the end of January, while simultaneously having the flu, then coming down with bronchitis on top of that and being in the Veteran’s Home for ...

Currently in EdnaLand

Suddenly I have nothing pressing to do, and since I had to take lunch very very early this morning, this day seems endless, so… it’s Current Time! (It’s also DAYS later now, and only two “current...


I am at work, but I am done. Done done done. Done with this day, done with this week, done with last week too. It has just been GRUELING. It’s early registration, so that’s to be expected, but, O...

Ummmm.... ooooops!!!

Massive apologies for clogging up everyone’s Unread Bookmarks with 42,501 entries about a trip to England I took 9 1/2 years ago!!! I am lucky lucky lucky enough to have made three trips since th...

Parental Woes

It’s been a very stressful winter as far as our parents are concerned. Mine, Baker B’s, and Kim’s. Baker B’s mom fell for the twenty-zillionth time in mid-January, thought she was okay and wouldn...

Philly trip

SO, I wrote this big long entry on Friday about my recent trip to Philadelphia for a work related conference, and by “wrote” I mean I rambled and digressed and went on ten gazillion tangents, as ...

*Two months?!?!?*

How have I gone two months without showing up here at all, let alone making an entry?? And I was so determined to start writing regularly again. Although I suppose an entry every two months could...


This is what I started to do on my last, ages-ago entry, before getting derailed by a rant about Hurricane Florence cancelling my only vacation plans for the entire year waaaahhhhh!!! And as an u...

Not a survey

Well, I’d started a survey stolen from Marg, since that’s about the only way to get me to make an entry these days, but after going on and on and on for one question, I decided maybe I better jus...


Well of course I haven’t made an entry since I was frantically searching for pumps to wear to Cousin E’s daughter’s wedding, despite my repeated vows that I’ll start writing regularly again. Oh,...
