Up, down, up, down
Up at 9p yesterday, back to sleep at 5am. Airport runs and errands, then back to my ‘own schedule’ for a day or two (while being on-call, so who knows …?) Then up at 6am (did I say A.M. ?!?) on Friday for a vet surgical appointment (two of our Neo’s have cherry eyes – …
Heat wave … and other news
Got a reprieve from the electric company … maybe they felt bad for me? With the kilns kicking, I’ve got to be a good customer, right? Anyway – power’s back on as of Tuesday night! YAY!! I spent some time realizing I would not have done well in pioneer days … Up at 5am this …

The lists … now and later
Up at 5:30 this morning, armed with coffee and bagel … ready to plan for the ‘week’. The twins (my babies) turn 14 this week. And leave for camp this weekend. So shopping and packing top the list. Mattie’s babies are moving on to their new homes, Sienna’s babies will be heading out next week …
