Laying low …
WWU: Assisted fellow-staff with one nasty case of Norovirus this past weekend. While I cleaned and scrubbed [head to toe] with soap, sanitizer and BLEACH, I woke up Tuesday moving slow, with pains (head ache and back ache) … Jumping to the only sensical conclusion, I announced to the family that I was suffering from Noro-meningitis …
It’s been a while …
So, I have a little of this and a little of that to report on: The twins will be heading off to camp shortly. So, DH and I will be ‘empty nesters’. Sort-of … but not. Our four-legged family has grown. Blondie had her babies (in under 19 hours!) and I took a quick shot …
Cabin Fever?
We have so many great things going on right now, and yet: We have puppies (and they’re so stinkin’ cute)! And a houseful of mood swings/raging hormones – thanks to twin teenagers … I’m finally growing skin/healing! Yay!!! And, it’s tax season … I’ve made some new bracelets, learned new patterns! And, …
Knitting, candles and wine … Oh my!
Lost heat out in the studio. Darn too-small propane tank anyway! I’ve talked to DH about getting a real (house sized) one out there … maybe now is the time. It’s a balmy 44 degrees in there right now. Without water (drained the pipes in preparation for Snowmageddon). Of course! I have 3 custom orders …
Busy ~ but I’m lovin’ it!
What a week! I’ve been taking serious advantage of insomnia. I have 3 kilns running, and so much to report … Here’s what I worked on tonight: Fingers crossed it turns out as promising as I hope! And, I finished my fish ‘sculpture’ … the Twins gave it a ‘thumbs up’, and it’s kinda growing …
Happy Independence Week …
Yep, I stretched that day out to a whole week! Family time, play time, and plenty of food! All while giving thanks for those who [have] provide[d] for my independence … Not much to show from the studio (although, I am sporting a sunburn from time in the pool) … Here’s a picture of the …
But I love it … grumble, grumble
Not having a fun week. Too busy. I didn’t get my chores done in time to go to a work outing tonight (- ER folks know how to have some fun too, darnit!). AND – I’m missing my studio! [Lower lip sticking out, feet stomping] But – my week is full of puppies, family time …
Speed Bump = Clean Studio + Adele
So a fairly substantial life ‘speed-bump’ has altered my previous MINE-MINE-MINE studio plans … Damn Evil-Biologic and her inability to act like a responsible adult anyway … So – feeling less than creative, I’ve spent time cleaning the studio and rockin’ with Adele (with a few of the Neo’s howling in the background to join …
And so it begins …
Summer – ahhhh … But wait … WE have a houseful of teenagers … As we were sitting at the dinner table, playing some post-BBQ rummy, I was already practicing the art of deep breathing while ignoring my youngest daughter and oldest son bicker like preschoolers. At one point I was waiting for the wailing cry of …
