On Our Walk….
We have had some warm days, but the weather has a hint of autumn in it now. Some of the leaves on the trees are getting edged with color. I love every season of the year, but I think autumn is my favorite. I… Continue Reading “On Our Walk….”
A Hat Full of Rocks
When I came downstairs this morning, JJ was up. In the last few months I have exclaimed, “Wow! You are up early!” but I stopped saying that because he always responded “No, I am not up early. I am up still. I haven’t been… Continue Reading “A Hat Full of Rocks”
Times Two
This has been a busy week, relatively speaking. Sunday afternoon EJ and I went grocery shopping. We have always gone shopping together. Going together makes grocery shopping more fun and less of a chore. We enjoy being together and with both of us adding… Continue Reading “Times Two”
Nice & Boring
The days of this summer are passing by with one day blending into another without much change. I don’t mind that. Sometimes co-workers ask EJ “How’s life?” When he replies, “Nice and boring,” they respond, “What? Really? No, you want it EXCITING!” EJ says,… Continue Reading “Nice & Boring”
Bread & Calendars
This morning I woke up shortly after 7 a.m.–which used to be when I always woke up, but lately it is early. I made a pot of coffee and then started preparing the dough for Challah bread. Usually I braid three strands but today I… Continue Reading “Bread & Calendars”
The Google Car
This morning EJ and I went to the store. EJ had to pick up some prescriptions, I bought some vitamins, and I also bought 12 gallons of water. Our water in our village is not all that great so we buy water for drinking… Continue Reading “The Google Car”
Depletion
On Sunday EJ drove me to Best Buy and bought me a new laptop. Among other things, it has a touch screen, Windows 8.1, and a wonderfully large 17.3 inch screen that I can see without squinting. I felt sort of bad because I… Continue Reading “Depletion”
“Really Most Sincerely Dead”
The last time I wrote was on July 16th when I was dancing with joy because the computer repair shop informed me that my laptop was fixed and we could go get it. We drove to the shop on Thursday morning. After we got… Continue Reading ““Really Most Sincerely Dead””
Yay!
This morning I woke up with a very foggy-minded and bleary-eyed. For some reason, I have not sleep well all week so every day I am more tired than the day before. However, in spite of dragging through each day, there was much that was good… Continue Reading “Yay!”
My Baseball Shirt
I sat down to write this post, but Luke decided he wanted to cuddle. Luke kept rubbing against me and touching my face. He lay on my arm and wiggled on the keyboard. I tried to push him away, but when a cat decides… Continue Reading “My Baseball Shirt”
A Garden Expression
Yesterday morning EJ fixed the mower and then he mowed the lawn. It was a relatively simple problem, and he offered to show me how he fixed it, but I refused. I told him that I was so frustrated by my constant battle with… Continue Reading “A Garden Expression”
Tears of Impotent Rage
Yesterday started out bumpy for me because I feel increasingly frustrated by the problems with the lawn mower. Every mower I touch this summer dies. I don’t know how to fix an ailing mower and EJ is too busy (or tired) from hours of… Continue Reading “Tears of Impotent Rage”
Historical Stories
Yesterday EJ and I took my precious laptop to the repair shop. The repair guy looked it over, saw that it started and then shut itself off, and said that my laptop problem was very weird. That is not surprising. I always have weird… Continue Reading “Historical Stories”
The Summer of No
One morning last week EJ went for a walk with Danny and me. He doesn’t walk with me often, but I always enjoy it when he does. Anyway, at one point EJ said to me, “There is a bug on you.” I didn’t panic… Continue Reading “The Summer of No”
A Good Report
This morning we had to wake up early for JJ’s appointment with his oncologist. I was so afraid of oversleeping that I didn’t really sleep much at all. JJ didn’t sleep much either. EJ slept well, but he didn’t sleep much the night before… Continue Reading “A Good Report”
