Back into routine after momentarily escaping. While I didn’t take any good photos in paradise – I did catch this neat one about 20,000 feet above Florida … So now I’ve been returned to my spot in the world, to successfully keep all sorts of plates spinning in the air. The plates that are struggling …
And it’s only Wednesday … Oy Vay! Woke up from my ‘nap’ on Monday to find my main/house computer dying. So, I spent most of Tuesday trying to fix it, before accepting probable death and sending it off to the repair store to (hopefully) retrieve several years worth of documents, contacts and photos … DOH! …
While I wait for my production kiln to ‘spit out’ the last paintings, I’m playing with night lights, finger bowls, spoon rests and tapestry. I am loving my studio! I want to make more and more and more … Crap! … I have work coming up (Dog-gone it!…). But, DH had us down in Detroit earlier this …
I finally have all three kilns running! Spoon rests, night lights, bowls/plates galore! And, I did a little painting tonight. We’ll see what the kiln gods think … but I like what I have started. I didn’t care for the diluted bubbles the necessary shims made in my last attempt, so now I’ve added a …

I could gripe about the trauma and drama involved with keeping one spousal unit and two teenage kids on task; or describe the frantic knitting and then felting escapade (had to wash those slippers FIVE times to finally get them the same and correct size!); or …

I am happy to say that I am moving on from my day-walking TNCC re-certification nightmare. The fact that I passed, got to tell my daughter her mama got an ‘A’, and – you know – get to keep my job … well that part’s all gravy! So, I’m back in my studio, inspectandpalpating the …
I understand that trauma is serious – critical even. But Jeeze-Louise … After spending some 10 hours (starting in the very bright and early [0600] AM) with a few ENA (Emergency Nurse Association)-cloned TNCC (Trauma Nurse Core Course) over-the-top instructors … Yuck! Just YUCK. Words like Evil Nazi Arses started to float around in my …
AKA – the CRUD that keeps on giving! Some time ago I posted about a URI (cold) that I had. I still have it. It has been renamed, to give credit to its maker. Yep, about 6 weeks ago, I worked with a particular nursing team that passed along this amazing virus, while they sniffled …
