Celebrated another anniversary of ‘Turning 29’ … DH and I had a quiet week. I didn’t cook a single thing, and he made cake! Hmm, I might finally have this birthday thing figured out … We watched over our pups, who are slowly opening their eyes: I made some progress on my double-knit polka dot …

On x-ray, that is … Which means I have a fractured arm …Yep, good times! Full of grace and good manners, we went to a retired-fuser’s home this week to see what she was selling.

I’m relieved all the same. I make myself nutty with these craft/art shows. I know I do. “They” say identifying the problem is half the battle. It’s not true … I’m still nutty! (But I knew that going in, so …) We’re working a show (that DH signed us up for) in … well, T-5 …

True TIRED! It’s been a trying and tiring week. I knew it would be, but YUCK! From a never-ending list of chores, to a mandatory A.M. work in-service, in between a surplus of amazingly annoying emails [that my editor – DH – won’t let me vent about here … even though I said I would …
