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 …

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 …

‘Crabby Sue’ … Weekend Wrap Up

That was me this weekend … I need to apologize (again) to my co-workers.  A week of too little sleep had me too short-tempered to be around.  The bad news … I don’t see any additional sleep coming this week – as we are still on pup-watch with Sienna, supplemental feeding Mattie’s pups and keeping …

What a difference a day makes …

Mattie is doing much better … I finally got a decent block of sleep … life is settling into a nice routine.  We’re still supplementing the pups, but it’s totally do-able.  Sienna is nesting … looks like DH may have called this one right – she’ll probably deliver while I’m working … I had some …

Puppy News …

The puppies are here … and so begins my next-level-watch.  I take the night shift (big surprise – I put that insomnia to good use) … The pups are doing great.  Momma Mattie is having a hard time of it.  So I’m private-duty-(dog-)nursing.  She had complications with delivery, was bleeding into her uterus, and is …

Weekend Wrap-Up, Pup watch – and glass

A strange weekend … Volume wasn’t out of control, but the cases were complex, along with some strange non-emergency complaints (“Can’t sleep” … does that qualify for an ER visit?  Then I should live in the ER!), and the ever-present flu.  Also had some crummy diagnoses made in the ED this weekend:  I hate being …

Spockula … and glass

Poor, poor Zeus … DH was ‘intrigued’ with the idea of having a Neo with cropped ears … so, we had it done.  I’m feeling so bad for my little guy right now … He’s still an absolute sweetheart, but he looks ridiculous!  And the part that’s killing me – I love to grab hold …

Bun(s) in the Oven … and glass too!

Had a special request for some larger bowls … so, my kiln is kicking into over-drive as I put together what will be 14 inch blanks … each one takes over 5 pounds of glass, and with our particular technique … you never know what you’ll end up with … so, I feel like an …

Zeus Bigelow … ???

Yesterday was a long day for me – but overall, a good one. We brought our new member of the family home – racing against the clock, so that I could make it to work on-time … all while dealing with the fact that he isn’t too keen on riding in the car right now.  …
