MnotIA

Yeah, I kind of vanished there. I got annoyed by the hot water heater issue, couldn’t get it solved, got stuck on EVERYTHING because of that one thing, and now here we are, with a book edit due tomorrow and the roomie coming home Tuesday, and everything is half-done or not even begun. Blargh. So […]

Today the Oops

Today the Oops

List-tackling today did not go well. As my friend Debbie pointed out, growing a list too much makes it overwhelming. Also, the things I was trying hardest to do today–drain and flush the water heater, and fix the hole in the wall–did not really want to be done. I hurt my arm trying to make

DOOM LIST continued

I could go back and count days, but nobody really cares, do we? That’s what I thought. LIST! Which…omg, I gotta start focusing. It looks so bad because I take one thing off one section, and do half of one thing in another section… But I got this. The list goes ever on and on,

DOOM, List Of, Day 3

Ahh, the $400 cactus… When we moved into our lovely new house, I did some exploring. In the little grassy alleyway between our yard and the neighbor’s, outside the gate in my backyard that opened into the alley, was a prickly-pear-type cactus. It wasn’t a big cactus! It was just a few square feet of

DOOM of List, Day 2

DOOM of List, Day 2

Right. So. Day 2. It’s still uncommonly cool for summer here in the Baked Potato Old Pueblo, so I’m trying not to turn the AC on and so save myself some money. That means the second it drops below 77° outside in the evenings (which is happening later and later, sigh) I open all the
