Friday is or is not Show Day!

Here it is, Friday morning, the day COSine is supposed to be starting. But the recent increase in covid/omicron stats has discouraged many from attending. We are ourselves still debating whether to go. We can mask and distance and use sanitizer every little while, but I still have the remnants of a cough from last month's bad cold, and Charlie has a morning sore throat and some cough from, probably, running a currently un-filtered heating system at home. The organizers have put in tremendous... Sign in to see full entry.

Thursday before CoSine

Strange dreams, almost a story. One element was a bunch of wires, some sort of scientific recording thing, patched into my left arm and cut off about a foot away from the skin. In the dream, I put on a jacket to hide them. When I woke up, my left arm was stiff and aching all around the elbow. I think a hot shower pounding on it a while will make that a lot better. I suspect I just slept on it funny. Today will be warm, approaching 60F, but down to the teens tonight. Any outdoors stuff will need... Sign in to see full entry.

Zorro, Dylan, and Buddy

My friend Zorro has stopped by several times this evening. Sometimes I think he has gone, then he appears from under furniture or downstairs. I noticed something on his last visit which I forgot to mention here: He is wearing a collar now, with a little bell and a little cannister on it. I unscrewed the cannister and found a note tightly curled up in it. It was handwritten, said This is Dylan I have been taking care of Buddy... Interesting. I think it means the cat is known to someone named... Sign in to see full entry.

And here it is again: Tuesday!

The tail bone feels better today. It's amazing, the healing value of whining! And no mice have tripped the traps in the kitchen, bedroom, or by the birdcage since day before yesterday. It will be warmish today, near 60F, and tomorrow--near 70! I can begin to clean up the deck since the windstorms of December and while I was away rearranged things. The doll house can get hosed down and disinfected, and then I have to decide where it's going to go when it comes back into the house. That will call... Sign in to see full entry.

Doom Box

Recently I heard the term, a new one for something I have been doing for years. A 'doom box' is that random box saved to be useful, into which one puts odds and ends, accumulated clutter to be sorted and filed properly at some later date. And sometimes, eventually, possibly, maybe that day of sorting and accountability actually does arrive! Im the meantime, the living room, dining room, other rooms look like you live an orderly life. On that day, treasures are found! Things set aside, out of... Sign in to see full entry.

Merry Sunday!

Here it is, a grey Sunday morning, cold though not terribly. I still ache, but not terribly. There is white on the ground, accumulated over the past hour or two, but it will not last through today's temps in the 40s. One more mouse is free to go about its next life elsewhere than my kitchen. Yesterday evening, with Charlie's help, the doll-house project which has been acting as shelves between my comfy chair and the bird cage went outside where, when the sun comes out later today it will get...

ow, wow, meow!

I stepped on something that threw me off balance backwards, landed hard on my butt...! Now, some hours later, my tail bone aches and so does my head that took solid a jolt up my back. I looked it up: Yes, you can get concussed from injuries other than blows to the head, but no, I don't have symptoms pointing in that direction. I took some tylenol along with taking it easy. Getting back up was fun, too. I took my at-home covid test this morning, got a negative result, so that's good news. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling really home again today!

Regardless of waking 3 or 4 times in the dark, I count it as a good night's rest, and I am feeling so much better today, ready to face the housekeeping necessities from being away 3 weeks. My cold is pretty much gone except for a bit of coughiness now and then. The exhaustion of travel followed by a 4-hour night of sleep was pretty evident all day yesterday, and it feels so good to have wakefulness and energy again! My plants have done well, me having left watering instructions with the next... Sign in to see full entry.

...jiggity-jig!

Waking up at home... The adventure of the flights home began with Ubering to the airport as early as could be managed. This turned out to be a good move, arriving hours ahead of our SouthWest Airlines flight to Denver, as our booked flight got more and more delayed until it was an hour and a half delayed, and would surely have meant missing our Denver-to-CoSprings connection. The flight boarding while we waited was, in fact, another Denver flight, and had ~2 dozen empty seats, so we asked if we... Sign in to see full entry.

Flying out this evening...

Last day for a while in the PacNW. Planning the trip, I didn't plan to catch a nasty cold the day after I arrived. Didn't plan for Omicron covid to be a thing. Didn't plan for snow-days. So, heading home this morning without having seen all the people I'd hoped to connect with, without getting down to Oly a second time, without getting down to Pike Place Mkt... But I did have some great time with the family I haven't been in the room with for the past 2 years, had a safe and comfortable bed in... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm doubtful the events of my life will be of great general interest, but I'd like to share a little more of me to the several of you on Blogit I've come to feel are real friends, and the many I imagine are potentially real friends.
