Yep – I’ll be heading back to my ‘Day Job’ (ummm … I’m a night-shift ER nurse) tomorrow. No more vacation. But – I’ve had a pretty great time! My ‘Christmas-in-the-Summer’ load is just about ready! A few more ornaments and I’ll have a full (coffin) kiln. Plus, I’ve got some other projects in the …

Regardless of how much you’ve scoured WebMD for bizarre diagnoses, please do not come into the ER seriously expecting your triage nurse to confirm your ‘suspicions’ regarding your loved one within the first 5 seconds of your arrival. …
OH!!! It is SOO DH’s fault … He sent a de-funk Craig’s List item that promised a new storage rack/work station in my COE-90 designated work area. HE emailed the no-good listing to me. Now I WANT one! Shelves for my frits, upright storage for my glass, a place to tuck much-needed tools, AND a …
