The list(s) …
The first round of our dichroic pendants and badge reels is in the production kiln for fire-polishing. I am hopeful we’ll have some new finished pieces by the end of this week! The large blue blank is slumping in the coffin, along with a couple of wine bottles that needed texturing and the blue/yellow spoon rest. The studio …
Viruses, Goblins, and Full Moons … oh my!
So, I’m making some progress – finally feel like my head is no longer sharing space with the virus tumor (Yes – it was a tumor, liquefying my brain – or so I whined to my co-workers on Sunday). Anyway – the head is mine again – so the insomnia returns. It’s ok … I’ll …
Charging my batteries …
While I don’t hold it against Maggie, the rubbing of the Buddha belly did NOT work for this past Sunday … (must have needed more candles.) And – if I give it much thought, I’m already fearing this weekend, as I watch the moon get larger and larger … Scientifically proven or not, those of …
So maybe I won’t be quitting my ‘day job’ …
Had a great night in the E.D. last night. It wasn’t crazy busy – but that’s not why. I had a bunch of great patients – normal, pleasant, appreciative (ok – not all, but more than not) … how cool is that? But wait – there’s more … I had a stroke patient who came …
Trying too hard … ???
So – I’m getting over my virus – slowly but surely – and maybe that’s why this week feels like it was less successful in the studio – my head is still ‘germy’ … I’m shooting for a large (17 in) blank … have used almost 10 pounds of glass and I’m less than thrilled with the results. …
Prioritizing the To-Do list …
Got through another weekend – or as I like to announce to my coworkers on Monday morning, as I leave the ER achy, tired and drained of most of my compassion … one weekend closer to retirement. Which is funny to me, as that particular tunnel (retirement) is so long, I see no light or …
3 words … precious metal clays
Let me start with this … I’m sorry about the last rant … I really believe if I wanted to blog about public awareness, I’d … um, make a blog for that. But there are times when cruelty and lack of human decency hit me right at the knees … and other times it’s just a really big …
Sleep must be over-rated …
At least that’s what my body is telling me … ok – I guess it’s my brain, but same effect. My husband, who is snoring away, amazes me – we’ve spent SOME time analyzing my insomnia and his reply – in true male fashion – “I just turn my brain off and go to sleep.” …
I’ve got the bug …
Well, actually I have TWO … the cold virus (BUG), as some lovely child felt compelled to sneeze into my face at work this weekend … But – what I’m talking about is I’ve reacquired the web design/developing bug … About 5 yrs ago, I got it, and taught myself enough to develop and run …
