The title pretty much says it all.
I’m having ups and downs right now, which is good and bad. Nice to have ups, but it makes the crashes harder to deal with when they come. I’m still easily distracted, but I feel like I’m capable of writing coherent sentences if I put my mind to [...]
Saw “The Rat Pack Is Back” Tuesday night. The actors who impersonated Joey Bishop and Dean Martin were the best. The Frank impersonator was my least favorite–I think Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile sounds more like Sinatra without trying.
But it was a lot of fun.
So in honor of last night’s show, for today’s game [...]
Brian had a conference last week in Reston, VA. On the way home he took a detour through Baltimore and then through Morgantown.
In Reston he picked up a pound of jumbo lumb crab meat so Grandmom could make crab cakes for us. Yum!
In Baltimore he went to Attman’s Jewish Deli on Lombard Street to pick [...]
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been fascinated by the flu since about 1997, when they first discovered the Asian bird flu. The more I learned about the flu, the more fascinated I became. The Great Influenza of 1918 killed more people than died in battle WWI, WWII, the Korean War, or the Vietnam war: 20 [...]
I’ve been fascinated by the flu for years–since 1997 I think, since the bird flu first appeared in Asia. And to be honest, I expected any possible pandemic to come from that direction.
Yet here we are facing a possible swine flu epidemic. Cases are appearing in various spots around the US, so thanks to modern [...]
Here are some of the flowers in my yard this week.
When I go to the store, I always try to park next to the cart return, and towards the back of the lot. Makes the car easier to find and I get a few extra steps–not to mention the gas saved by not wandering through the lot looking for the “closest space.”
Today, as I was [...]
Sunny with a vengeance that is.
Thursday morning it was 30 F. Right now it’s 87. Insanity I say, insanity!
But since the weather is nice, this morning I got up, scrubbed the deck and all the deck furniture, did a bit of gardening, and am now relaxing in the shade with a fantastic breeze blowing.
Of course [...]
Friday Michael and I took a short walk on the Rails to Trails in Westover. As we walked past this shop Michael noticed one of the posters on the wall.
You may have to go to the large view in Flickr to see it clearly, but obviously, vampires don’t stand a chance in Morgantown.
Last weekend we bought a new brush for Kat, because he’s been shedding like it’s going out of style. We got the “Furminator” and despite the really stupid name, it’s quite impressive.
Wat’s even more impressive, however, is that despite being brushed on three separate days, his coat is still ridiculously thick.

This morning the temperature was 30 and it had rained all night. This evening the weather was beautiful.

Tuesday I had my doctor’s appointment and started my new meds. I’m tapering down my current SSRI and tapering up my new SSRI. The doctor also suggested that I take a partial dose of an older anti-depressant as a sleeping pill, since she thought that might be exacerbating my depression.
Wednesday I spent most of the [...]
And today we’ll swing back to fantasy.
One series I’ve been following and enjoying is Liz William’s Detective Inspector Chen series.
Chen lives in Singapore Three, in a world like but quite unlike our own, where technology and magic coexist (even if not everyone believes in the magic), the dead can make phone calls, and a demon [...]
It’s Wednesday, that means it’s time for another game of Word Association, since the last game has tapered off.
And if you hang around and don’t normally play word association, this is your formal invitation to join in.
Today’s word:
saucer
Went to the doc today, and got two new prescriptions.
One is for an SSRI I’ve been on before. The other is for an older anti-depressant that I am to take a small dose of before bed, to see if sleeping better also makes me feel better.
All I can say is this couldn’t come soon enough, [...]
Lemon Jumbles
Michael wanted lemon cookies, and the other recipe I love required refrigeration, so I decided to try lemon jumbles again.

Temperatures are in the mid to low 50s. It’s raining.
I suggest we cancel the remainder of the day and all go back bed.
And all from my yard.
We have several lavender plants along the driveway. It’s nice to be able to stop and smell the lavender on the way to work.

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, [...]
When she doesn’t think we’re going to grab her and put her in the basement, Kit can really relax.
