Later Afters

Lovely weather today, temps in the high 60s, very sunny with some big dark clouds and weather over the mountains that never got here on the edge of the flat lands. It was a good weekend! Charlie sent home several Bears, a couple of his ink art pieces, a beaky plague mask he made of leather a while back, and one of his paper mache sculptures. I had some interesting conversations with quite a number of people, and sat down with seven of them for reading and healing sessions. The last two came... Sign in to see full entry.

First Day Done!

We had a pretty good day at the Oddities Expo, Charlie sending home several Wasteland Bears and some of his original ink art pieces. People looked at all of his various things, not just the bears or the inks, which he found very gratifying. I sat down and did energy reading/healing sessions with four people, each one of which was also pretty gratifying. It has been years since I did the annual ESP Fair circuit in the Pacific NW of the US and in Canada, and in that time I have learned to keep... Sign in to see full entry.

Getting ready for the weekend

Cold again, with a thin crust of white on the back porch rail... But the lilac leaves are opening out, and they will again prove stronger than Winter's last gaspings. I dreamed of dragons before waking this morning. I am sure it has something to do with watching Smaug in The Hobbit this past week, and a while ago watching a documentary of Benedict Cumberbatch all rigged up for motion-capturing his performance of Smaug. But my dragons weren't talkers, and I couldn't figure out how to communicate... Sign in to see full entry.

Gettin' 'er done!

In a couple of hours there will be snow in the mountains, They say, and rain here in the flat lands. It will start tonight which meant an extra trip to the workshop to unload some shelving that was given to us by the fella who installed the floor. The storage unit was cleared and swept out before noon today, even though we began the morning with a drive up to Monument--about 20 miles from the workshop--to pick up the last of the bits and bobs needed by The Little Shop of Horrors. That was... Sign in to see full entry.

Sun setting on another Sunday

Weather was nice enough today: no precip, not too cold. We went out after 1 to haul the next-to-last load from the storage unit. After that, a stop at Office Depot where Charlie needed 5 minutes (an hour) to get stuff printed up for the play, and then to the shop to unload a little roll-top secretary desk, a big iron parrot-cage, and a two-sided makeup table. The floors are done for the most part, and after sweeping some of the residual foot-prints from dirty boots, we rolled out some carpets.... Sign in to see full entry.

Dusty and Rusty--Not a couple of cowboys, but could be...!

And here we are on a Saturday morning, once again under a slow-growing blanket of snow, 4 inches so far. Temps in the 50s will see it off, but today we're going to have to move stuff from the storage despite the snow. Mostly it will be cardboard boxes, so I will take a bunch of big plastic contractor bags for those. There is a big parrot cage which already needs to be cleaned of dust and rust, so that's no worries. Maybe the mantelpiece will wait for tomorrow when it won't get wet on the 5-mile...

The latest shop news

Night has blown in, has blown away the warmth we had yesterday. It will be a chilly, rainy day tomorrow, and that is forecast for the next several days. There will be flakes of snow from time to time. Oh, Colorado weather, you are so silly! We have had busy days with the workshop and the runnings around to get this and that for it. There was some prep work for the floor installation, and we're expecting that to be all done by the weekend. We're shopping around for shelving and supplies, running... Sign in to see full entry.

Not as advertised...

Waking with a mental run-down of the day's plan for getting out to the thrift store's Saturday sale, and a couple more loads from storage to workshop-- Then walking out of my room to discover the world outside under 6 inches of fluffy snow AGAIN! It won't last, what with temps in the 50s expected today, but it will delay the morning's start for sure! Yesterday we were in the 60s and had the first thunderstorm of the season! I have observed a new tricksy move coming from Facebook vendors: An ad... Sign in to see full entry.

Colorado Weather!

We got another load transferred from storage to workshop, and then it began to rain like it means it! We've had the first lightning and thunder of the season! Then it was time to get kitty Astrid to the vet again, during which the rain turned to something between little hail and icy snow. Home again, I am enjoying a nice toasted cheese sandwich, and just might take a nap. This weather is like Spring was having a party, and Winter crashed in--"Party? Party! I brought the ice!" And next week,... Sign in to see full entry.

More dreams and schemes

Chilly morning, with rain promised but I don't see signs of it yet. Another odd dream overnight, that I had some ailment that basically ate my memories, and I had not enough short-term memory to function in any normal way. I developed a terrible thirst along with it, so bad that even when I was drinking, my mouth was still dry. Apparently, it was reality sneaking in: I had to wake up and get a real drink of real water in the real world. Snuffy-nosed, I'd been mouth-breathing for long enough to... Sign in to see full entry.
