Last Tuesday

Too cooked.  Way too cooked. It is the belief in my office that the district isn’t actually turning the AC on, they just keep telling us it’s not working to save on the bills. So I came home feeling like I’d spent the day in my crockpot.  On the way home I stopped at the […]

My Truck

I’m going to miss that truck.  Yes, *sigh*, we took it back last night.  No more big orange-and-white adventure sitting in my driveway.  There was a close moment as we passed the I-10 signs and I tried to convince Bly we really wanted to see El Paso, but, *sigh again*, she told me maybe next

Bad enough I gotta get blood drawn.  But why must I be fasting?  And why must coffee be part of fasting?  It’s just torture, I swear.  I use sugar substitute and low-fat creamer, there’s practically nothing there but caffeine, I should be able to drink coffee! So.  Due to the demands of medical vampires, my
