It's official: I have had enough of winter
Yesterday's snow left some, but not a lot of snow. We were not hit like the City was. Then there's to be another one either tonight or tomorrow, and we're supposed to get clobbered. To say that I...
The Demise of OD
I guess it is official. OD is shutting down. I am a bit shocked, but not surprised, giving all of the problems that the site has been having in the last year or so. I do wish that Bruce had been ...
Books
J is in a wild snit ever since he got home and demanded pasta for dinner. But he didn't want a tomato sauce. He didn't want asian. He just whined and got pissy about it. Damn hard for me to make ...
Saturday, very quiet, with rain
It's been raining on and off all day. When it is heavy, it gets nearly deafening on the roof. Tonight's dinner was short ribs in a barley stew, with rolls. J is getting very good at making rolls,...
Cold again, great programme on PBS tonight.
Very very cold here today, I doubt that we got out of the single digits. All three of the kitties were more than happy to cuddle with me. I kept dozing off in my chair, which means I got very lit...
Monday is damn cold today
Very cold today. My right knee was aching very badly for most of this evening, and the other joints just aching. I wish there was a line where I can get a new body; I wouldn't mind being eighteen...
Downton is BACK!
Ooh, happy dance. Sat through the first two hours of season 4 of Downton Abbey tonight, and I have to say that this season promises to have plenty to chew over. (Spoilers here, so skip ahead if y...
This winter
Last night, I was having problems with my hip and knee, and it took some reading for me to finally relax enough (and the pills to kick in) for me to finally go to sleep. So I burrowed under the c...
It's new years and all that.
Oh goodie, I see we're going to get smacked around by another storm in the next few days. I tend to care less about New Years. I'm not a drinker, I'm not that much of a football fan. That pretty ...
A new year
A new year. J pretty much as normal. Me just trying to stay out of the line of fire. Read 118 books this year, which is an improvement over last years numbers. Everything aches tonight, and it se...
Breaking bad
I've been veging today and watching the Breaking Bad marathon on AMC. I'd forgotten just how good that series was, and how much it really pushed the envelope. Not for sissies, that's for sure. ...
Fruitcake
Well, got another two fruitcakes made today. And tomorrow is cookie baking day. Such is my life... I also managed two reviews -- The Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters, and the movie Upsi...
More snow, and the like.
We had more snow overnight. It took J two hours to get home last night, so you can guess that I was in a pretty worried state waiting for him. I hate it when he has to drive over the bridge when ...
Cold today. SCA Kerfuffle
Today was brutally cold. The appointment with the psychiatrist was today, and that went well. Then it was off to the local gourmet market to find food -- lovely, lovely oranges, nice and heavy. A...
There are days.
Sometimes J is an enigma to me. Lately he has taken up the behaviour of asking me what I am doing every day. And it seems that cooking meals, the washing up does not count. Neither does writing r...
Karma is a Bitch; horrible news
Karma at times can be a lovely, lovely thing. It seems that my ex, The Weasel hit the pinnacle of his SCA yearning, got that coveted baronial coronet, and it seems that there were some bad words ...
Books and pizza
I really need to be writing reviews right now, but at the moment, I'm working on getting caught up on ratings, and laughing myself silly over the comedy channel. Yes, I do laugh on occasion. Now ...
Hurrah! It's finished at last.
Today the yarns from Belgium arrived, and I was able to finish a project that has been languishing for a long while now. The funny part is, it just took me a few minutes to fill in what I needed ...
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa...
I broke down and signed up for Dramafever. It's one of those websites where you can stream foreign television and movies. In particular Korean films. Last night I was finally able to watch the bi...
Sunday.
Braised the lamb shanks for dinner. J was happy. Miss Sophie has been playing Queen of the Castle with the new cat tree. She definitely loves the top perch for herself. Phantom has been explori...
Catching up
Today, a huge box was dropped off at the house. Evidently J ordered (finally!) a cat tree for our tribe. And it's one of those huge suckers. Alas, not a lot of padding on the perches and cubbies,...
Cold
Still chilly out there this morning, and I did not want to get up today. Did make my appointment with my psychiatrist today, so that's taken care of for the month. I have also made fruitcake -- c...
Damn, but it's cold outside
It took me a long time to get up this morning -- I just wanted to say in bed with the cats where it was warm. It's November of course, so it is cold after all, but I'm just not ready for it. And ...
It's monday, rah, rah, rah.
I ended up staying up all night reading Amy Tan's latest, The Valley of Amazement. It's not too bad -- this time it's focusing on the courtesan life in 1900's Shanghai. Quite a few people I know ...
Saturday routines.
I'm about halfway through Jeremy Poldark by Winston Graham. I had forgotten how good these novels are, but so far I have only found the first three in e-book format. Grumble. At least I did not h...
