Celestial Delight
Last night I set my alarm for 4:30 a.m. so that we could watch the lunar eclipse. The eclipse was actually not supposed to start until 5:15 a.m., but I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss any of it. When the alarm went… Continue Reading “Celestial Delight”
1, 2, 3…
This morning JJ had an appointment with his oncologist. JJ and I were both really tired because we only got about 4 hours sleep. We never seem to sleep very well before a medical appointment. EJ slept really well. We had a really nice… Continue Reading “1, 2, 3…”
Thoughts About Thinking
I am almost never bored because I think that even the most common things are interesting to me. I think stories about every day life are fascinating because they give glimpses into how people live. I also am grateful to those who write stories… Continue Reading “Thoughts About Thinking”
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”
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”
The Doctor’s Ringtone
Yesterday afternoon, after I had taken Danny for his walk, I went out to see if there were any more ripe strawberries. There weren’t, but I noticed that some of the raspberries were ripening. So I took a bowl and went out to pick… Continue Reading “The Doctor’s Ringtone”
Borgs and Empaths
I knew from the forecast and Accuweather radar that it was going to rain today, so I walked to the post office, took out the trash, and weeded my herb garden early(ish) this morning. I had only weeded a bit of the herb garden… Continue Reading “Borgs and Empaths”
JJ’s Soap
I was surprised when I came downstairs this morning that both my guys were already awake and up. EJ is often up before I am but JJ stays up until the wee hours of the morning so he often sleeps until early or mid-afternoon.… Continue Reading “JJ’s Soap”
Lost (Again)
For some reason, neither EJ nor I slept well last night. However, we had to get up relatively early to go pick up the rental car. Before we left, I walked across the street to our neighbors to ask if they’d keep an extra… Continue Reading “Lost (Again)”
Taxes & Cactus & Cake
When JJ was a little boy, I used to tell him that sometimes Summer and Winter battled each other–with one day warm and another day cold. The times when they fight is called “Spring” and “Autumn.” In the Spring, Summer eventually wins the fight… Continue Reading “Taxes & Cactus & Cake”
Butterfly Wings
Many years ago, I thought that if I ever wrote a book, I’d title it “Butterfly Wings.” Everyone would think (or so I imagine) that I had given it that name because butterflies are beautiful. Only I would know that I had named my… Continue Reading “Butterfly Wings”
The Survivor
This week has been a relatively quiet week. I did my daily chores. EJ went to work. I cuddled the cats and fed the birds. I also walked Danny twice. I haven’t been able to walk Danny very much since JJ was diagnosed cancer… Continue Reading “The Survivor”
Vladimir and a Thousand Terrible Things
Yesterday we had to go to the lab for JJ’s weekly blood test. The drive to the lab was very beautiful. Last weekend’s ice storm was worse just north of us and there is still a lot of ice remaining on the trees there.… Continue Reading “Vladimir and a Thousand Terrible Things”
The Night Before Chemo…
I combined Saturday and Sunday’s events into this one post. Saturday Staying up until the wee hours of the morning was a mistake because EJ and I had to get up at 6:30 a.m. to take the car to the service center at the… Continue Reading “The Night Before Chemo…”
