Since the dog had an accident last week – we woke to a cat-shaped puddle of pee that we weren’t sure was hers until she gave it a four-foot berth when she walked past it – I’ve become overly sensitive to her overly sensitive bladder. So when I blearily blinked my eyes at 6:30, [...]

No More Pepsi
Watching the Lost premiere, very sleepy, and fending off a headache from entirely too much Pepsi consumption. Also looking over the short story that I think I will post to the OWW.
I’m wallowing in a bit of self-pity here. I’ve spent some time looking through the current submissions, feeling deeply inadequate, and then reviewing [...]

Heat, Sleep & Rain
There is one true sign that the seasons have changed, one piece of incontrovertible proof. It’s not the first snow fall. It’s not the leaves turning color. It’s not the Halloween decorations on display only just barely crowding out the red and green tide of Christmas not far behind.

Cold, freezing rain is falling, the wind is bitter, and fresh snow [...]

It Needed More Green
Really. S’true. Everything needs more green. And, I decided, so did this place.
Just came back from an impromptu puppy-walk. Spring woke up and realized she had work to do, and is busy melting snowbanks, running ice-melt rivers through patches of built-up road sand, and growing grass around the edges [...]

Being Obstinate, Even Sucky.
Not as successful as yesterday. I basically didn’t follow my time table at all. I did about 20 minutes of knitting, watched Torchwood, and now it’s like I’m waiting to start my day – to drive Todd to work, to get to work myself. Didn’t even walk the dog (though it’s bloody cold out there [...]
