Wednesday, December 21, 2005A Devastating LossMy coworker lost her baby. I got the news when I got to the office this morning. Needless to say, we were a rather teary and subdued bunch at the office today. Apparently, shortly after I spoke with her yesterday afternoon, her blood pressure spiked and her midwife rushed her to the hospital. It was...

She laughed. She went into labour at lunchtime today. She who laughs last.... I'm anxiously awaiting word on what it is and all the vitals. And not just because I'm...

It doesn't want to properly retrieve messages, and has been freezing my computer all the livelong day. Now I'm another day behind. Sigh. Went to the headache specialist at lunch-time, and he's given me a plan to start... Sign in to see full entry.Sunday, December 18, 2005Christmas Week BeginsWell, folks, this is it. Christmas will be here in seven days. If you've still got shopping to do, you're getting down to the wire. Me, I'm doing the rest of mine online. I've only got a couple of things left to get, and I just don't feel up to trying to fight the crowds. The "cantata" went well....

So we had more time for breakfast. LOL! After the game, back home for lunch, and then back to the church for cantata rehearsal from 1 to 3. Then back to the house to turn the...

Deep dark depression, excessive misery! If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all! Gloom, despair, and agony, oh me!" I'm kind of...

I have nearly everything bought, so there won't be a lot of running about in the horrible Christmas rush, paying full-price for a lot of junk that no one really wants anyway. I'm also trying...

But I've been sick off and on all year long. I'm getting fed up with it. My chest is tight. I have a terrible cough. My throat itches. So do my ears. I ache. It's not the flu... no fever or chills....

I got some stuff done here at the house. I got a good night's sleep last night. I'm on my way to bed soon, for another good night's sleep. I'm starting to feel a little...

Thing is, I had just looked at my speedometer when the police-person pulled me over. My speedometer is marked in 10s, and when I looked at it, it showed between 35 and 40. I know that needle was below the 40 mark. So I'm thinking of... Sign in to see full entry. |
