Hibernation …

So … I seem to have fallen into a strange routine.  I’ve been sleeping 11+ hours on Mondays.  This is bizarre to me, as I typically function on 4-7 hours of sleep and then magically wake up, whether I want more or not … My only complaint is that I’m waking up at strange hours …

Morning news …

Woke up refreshed and renewed after sleeping 11 hours … now ready to embrace the ABCs of Life … Since I woke up at 630am (such an unnatural hour to wake up), I started working in the kitchen.  I made a batch of what I lovingly refer to as ‘Monkey Juice’.  What started out years …

(Yet another) new hobby is born …

I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it … The heat press came today – YAY!!  Meet Mr. DC16AP … isn’t he cute?  We did some rearranging in the studio to give him a good home.  And even though my much needed ‘heat tape’ has not yet arrived, I couldn’t wait to play, but …

A new me … for the moment

Having slept 14 hours … I feel like a new me – for now. My heat press arrives tomorrow.  I’m excited – and rearranging the studio to accommodate this new toy.  I’ve already received some substrates in the mail – I’m all set to play.  (To which, I need to remember the next time I’m …

Summer Nights and DARN SANE

Weekend update:  Just another drunk summer weekend … We had lots of alcohol-involved visits.  Probably made the new computer program transition more bearable for the patients.  Kind of wish I could have been inebriated too (darn computers anyway), but … a great crew helped!  Had the monthly DARN SANE meeting this morning … on a …

Busy, busy, busy …

I got a few things done in the studio this week … not as much as I’d like.  My dichro badge reels are running in the kiln as I type.  Got some 45+ bottles de-labeled and sanitized …  I received a new shipment from one of my glass stores – I have a new mobile …

Pressed Jewels … ???

I’ve been busy taking pictures … And now I will be uploading items to the shops over the next several days.  In the meantime, I need to name each item.  This isn’t usually a problem, but … this bowl is giving me grief.  It’s a deep purple, sky blue and bright green transparent bowl with …

Happy Memorial Day …

I could do a lot of (justified) whining and griping about this weekend … but why bother?  It doesn’t change anything … So – instead … I will wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day(!) … be thankful for so many things … and focus on the week ahead (away from the ER, patients, families, visitors, …

It’s Puppy Time …

Whew … Sienna’s pups have made their grand entrance – fashionably late … At 2am Sienna finally entered the last stages of labor – and she wasn’t happy about it.  We paced the floors, went outside, came back in, paced some more – then repeated this routine… Just about the time I was starting to …

Still holding …

Sienna and I have had long talks now on the importance of relaxing, thinking ‘open thoughts’ … and when those didn’t seem to have any effect, we talked about how much better she would feel is she just dropped a load!  Still NOTHING … We’ll be going to the vet later today, just to make …
