Much Love
My thoughts right now are with my friend Shawn Powers, whose house just burned down.
All his family is OK, but they lost all their pets.
If you know Shawn, please lend him your support, even if it’s only in kind thoughts and words.
ADDENDUM the First:
Linux Journal has put together a page so donations can be made [...]

11 Years
Happy Anniversary Michael!
I love you, and I’d do it all again if given the choice.
Really. I would.

AFK
My mother-in-law’s husband died Thursday; I probably won’t be posting for the next several days.
Just so you know.

Burnout?
So.
One of the things that briefly came up with the doctor at my last visit was caregiver burnout.
In that it may be contributing to my inability to get my OCD and anxiety under control.
Here’s the thing. My grandmother doesn’t require nursing or skilled care. She is capable of performing most ADL (activities of daily living) [...]

New Stove! New Stove!
Why yes, I did marry a mutant. Michael reads the instruction manuals on EVERYTHING.
I’m the one that refuses to read instructions or ask directions.
But who cares about instructions? I’ve got cinnamon bread rising right now!

El Día de los Muertos
Day of the Dead
I’ve ruminated before about the somewhat unhealthy attitude Americans have towards death.
Don’t misunderstand me, death is a painful thing for those who survive. Loss–whether unexpected or not–is a hard thing, and even though we may live on past the death of those we love, a small part of us dies with them.
This [...]

Hair Raising
Avery at Stereo Describes my Scenario recently went to see the film Good Hair, and as usual when the subject of hair comes up, it got me thinking.
For those of you who have not met me, I have very thick, very curly hair. I’ve always had people tell me they wish they had my hair, [...]

In case you can’t tell, that’s a bottle of Mountain Dew. It’s a long story.

Happy Birthday Michael!
I really hope you like your birthday present, since I came up with the idea more than a year ago.
No pressure!

Pics from the New Camera
Here are two pictures taken with my new camera yesterday.
Generally, pictures I take of people don’t turn out well, but I like these alright.

Can’t Win for Losing
Grandmom: I don’t want to go out! My hair looks terrible!
Michelle: It looks fine!
Grandmom: No it doesn’t! It’s too long!
Michelle: Well call and schedule a haircut!
Grandmom: I don’t want to take up your weekend with things like that.
(sigh)

Not So Certain I Suppose….
Michelle: You didn’t have to do that.
Grandmom. I know I didn’t. The only thing I have to do is pay taxes and die.
Michael: You don’t even pay any taxes!

Is It Nap Time Yet?
Today has been busy in a rather boring way. The biggest excitement was getting “Furminator” for Kat and taking him outside for a good brushing. I highly recommend the Furminator for cats if you have a cat with a thick coat. Kit’s fur is thin and fine, so the tool won’t be going near her, [...]

Still Struggling
I’m currently at the point where it feels like every day is a struggle.
Saturday night I didn’t even want to get off the sofa to shower and go to bed–and a hot shower is usually my favorite point of the day. I’ve got a week and a half till I go back to the doc [...]
