Picks and Pans
Tomorrow, I’ll post my picks and pans from the weekend with hubby and our travels. But tonight, I really must go play poker with the guys.

It was my turn to pick up stray guys at the airport today, and I found a winner. We’re gonna’ goof around for the weekend. I’ll take him back to the airport early on Tuesday morning, and I’ll be back that evening. Happy Labor Day for you US-types, and I … Continue reading →
The Knee Deal
Saw the physical therapy guy today. He examined the knee — tested it — then he stuck his thumbs into my scars and began grinding. Some of you know what he was doing. I did, too, because my PA had told me I needed to do it. He was breaking … Continue reading →
Mandarin Chinese Kicks My Butt
A new perk at my job is the opportunity to study languages using the online software Rosetta Stone. I figured I’d give it a try and signed up for an account. I’m not good with languages (despite a reasonable grasp of American English). I have 3/4 of a year of … Continue reading →
Another Boring Knee Update
This week, the knee feels better than it has in over a month. Stairs aren’t my favorite thing, but I could walk up and down them today without heavily supporting myself with the handrail. Still a little clunky when I’m bending the right knee to step down, but it’s getting … Continue reading →
I Got Nothin'
I want something witty and interesting for you. Really. I do. But I got nothin’. I’m still breathing (generally considered a good thing). I’m still gainfully employed. I still consider myself a writer. Hubby still likes me. My friends still like me. My stats say somebody (mostly spammers, I think) … Continue reading →
Word Press Themes

After some vitally important assistance by Heather last year with customizing the header, I’ve become quite comfortable modifying the Fading Flowers theme over the last few weeks. It’s simpler than many. With seven key files, it’s relatively easy to trace … Continue reading →
PBW’s E-Book Challenge
Back on August 3rd, PBW posted an E-Book Challenge. She’s going to write and give away a free e-book at her weblog this Halloween. She’s challenged other writers to do the same. I have a few possibilities to play along, but I’ve begun looking at a short story that precedes … Continue reading →
Knee Stuff
This week went a little better — stairs are getting easier, and I’m getting back to a more natural gait. I was losing the dog in the backyard, so I came home from work tonight, slipped on the knee brace, and mowed. With the brace, it went smoothly. I’ll need … Continue reading →
Fading Flowers Template
I think I’ve made all the adjustments I needed to make to make this template enjoyable for me. Last year, during my “template fair,” this was the template ya’ll liked best. I’ve incorporated all the suggested improvements you offered way back when. Is there anything missing? Let me know, and … Continue reading →
