The entire mammogram, from paperwork to exit, took fifteen minutes. The imaging itself took seven. I took 2 extra strength Tylenol an hour before and had no pain, just discomfort. But nothing crippling — the technician and I talked the…
Currently, pre-squish edition
Sitting here: While I’ll be sad to see summer go, I’m pleased that I squeezed in so much outdoor time. Instead of dorking on the internet for a half hour in between each household task, I just do all of…
Friday 5: Lyrical gangsta
Happy Friday. I am tired, sick, sore, and grumpy. So let’s just cut to the chase. The Friday 5 theme is: Lyrical Gangsta. 1. What’s a stupid lyric from a song you like? Me: “Look for the purple banana ‘Til…
Pesto!
This semester, WM has his night classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, meaning I’m on my own for dinners. He’s not a fan of garlicky foods and garlic would my patronus, if a patronus could be a fragrant bulb. Meaning that…
Ollie: please fence me in
Ollie, a very well-behaved dog from day 1, never needed a crate. We just had to make sure he was away from the litterboxes when we had them. Murphy was a crate puppy because that’s what he was used to…
The fruits of a four day weekend
I’m super glad I went to the beach on Friday, because it was the best day of the four days I had off. On Saturday my credit card and I dressed up and met friends for tea at the Mary…
Friday 5: Regionalism
Happy Friday! This is my last Summer Friday of the summer (weeps, gnashes teeth) so I spent it the way I tried to spend every Summer Friday – down the shore. via GIPHY I made that animated gif! It’s 1994…
Peaches and Herb(s)
My herb garden is exploding with goodness! I have fresh basil and parsley whenever I want some, a load of thyme I don’t know what to do with yet, and TONS of oregano. I harvested a bunch of it last…
Show us your books: August 2018
I eked out five books this month. My Seattle trip was heavy on the socializing, and I actually watched a movie on the flight back instead of reading. It was Game Night. It was funny enough and had my problematic…
Currently, summer night edition
Relaxing out in the yard. I feel like we did a lot of outdoor work early in the summer, such as planting grass and ripping out 10,000 dandelions and setting up herb gardens, so it would be a shame to…
Friday 5: Repeat
Happy Friday! On Saturday. Yeah. I’m glad this week is over, as Ollie had dental cleaning/extractions on Tuesday. This is the capstone of our multi-month effort to make Ollie feel better. He’s been suffering from ear infections and neck pain…
Market Tulips
This is a print I bought from Scott Lantz at Pike Place Market. If I lived in Seattle, or had gone to the market at the beginning of my trip, I’d have bought flowers. This is even better. His website…
