Saturday, November 26, 2005Working Hard TodayI'm alternating, in 30-minute increments, between cleaning and relaxing, or cleaning and editing. I have a manuscript that I must finish this weekend, because I have had it since before the wreck in July and I have promised the author to get it back to him before the first of December. When I finish... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, November 25, 2005A Quiet, Busy Kind of DayI don't know how to describe today, really. It was a quiet sort of day, but very busy. The ex picked up the kids this morning at 8, so no kids running about. Quiet. I finished reading Bram Stoker's Dracula while eating breakfast and clearing up. Strange book, and not really what you'd expect from... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, November 24, 2005The Party's Over....It was a nice day. Mom and I slept in (wow! what a feeling!) until 7, and then got up and made breakfast. Then we cleaned the house, and set the table, and put the turkey in the oven, and cooked all the things that have to be cooked.... it was a busy morning. We weren't quite done when the others...

We've been cooking this afternoon, and we're going to clean house tomorrow morning. We're looking forward to a fun afternoon (the rest of the family won't get here until around 1:30 or 2), and my kids are excited to be...

I would like to move on, so that I feel comfortable even thinking about considering dating again, and maybe remarrying someday. Right...

Things that I normally would not forget. My boss asked me first thing this morning to get financial statements from the other two partners in the group. I wrote myself a note,...

My house is a mess and I just can't seem to get a handle on it. I get partway there and just get stuck. Like today. I got a lot done this past week, and especially...

I got all of the previously washed clothing folded and put away, and I washed a couple of loads of clothes. I sorted all the ironing into groups, so that is ready to tackle...

I didn't find out about it until last night, so I really didn't think the ex would have enough time to put in a request for time off. (He works second shift, so evening events are usually not possible...

I finally hired him because I got sick of fielding calls from the insurance chick. She kept asking me when the doctor was going to release me from treatment. I kept saying that I wasn't a medical professional, so I couldn't... Sign in to see full entry. |
