I was mistaken
You know what I said about feeling better? I was mistaken about that. I’m feeling quite a bit worse, so I think I’ll take to my (our) bed with a cup of herbal tea, the animals and my iPad. And possibly Linda O’Neal’s scarf. And some leftover Mexican Garlic Soup. When one is under the weather […]
Sinuses, and the soup that helps them
I’b cobing dowd with sobthig. Specifically, I’m coming down with some sinus crud. It started a few days ago, and now it actually appears to be getting a little better. (Hooray for Mucinex and drinking gallons of water!) But I’m still feel like I’m teetering on the edge of a sinus infection, so I’m going […]
Spammy comments
I just (at long last) went to the Pending Comments section of this blog and looked at the 140 comments that were waiting for approval. (What you see below is copied and pasted without change or, obviously, correction.) Yesterday, someone calling themselves looky commented on a post from August, 2010: Actually, I?m a blog starter. […]
Dinner & such
Rich is at some ham radio thing in Austin this weekend, so I’m on my own. And it’s hot — 101°F today. So you would think that microwaving leftovers would be as much effort as I’d be willing to put into dinner, right? But, you see, I’ve got this blob of bleu cheese butter left over from […]
Did you know this? –or– How to make dinner easier
…Or that could also be “How to make dinner more easily,” because, though they say different things, they’re both accurate, and I am a grammar Nazi. If you take some pork chops—preferably nothing expensive that’s good for grilling; this is a handy way to use those on-sale chops that aren’t that great grilled or fried—if you take them […]
I’m here, really I am!
I’m still here! I’ve just been particularly busy the last week with one of my (four) income streams. I’ve also been struggling (so what else is new?) with WordPress and trying to get some of the…let’s call them inconsistencies, not bugs…worked out. BTW, does anyone know how to edit a theme’s CSS? Anyway, one of […]
Two more days
The temperature in our part of the world has been around 100°F for a few days, and it’ll be that hot again today and tomorrow. But then a strong cold front will be coming through, and the high later this week — the high! in July! in north Texas! — will be in the high 70s! In case […]
How hot is it?
I went to the bank this morning and sat at the drive through, listening to this. And this is what it sounds like around my house. I swear, it could be 10°F outside, and hearing those would make me start to sweat. Maybe it’s because I’ve always lived in warm climates, but the sound of […]
Work & working, some knitting, some hockey, some cooking, some books…
It looks like I’m trying to cover all the topics at once. That’s what happens when you go for a long time without talking. You have a lot pent up to say, I guess. I’ve been working all day today, really, both doing stuff around the house and doing Work work, but I can’t really point […]
Whew! I think I’m back….
Well, that was a mighty pause, wasn’t it? I haven’t been away, or ignoring my blog(s). I’ve been migrating them to WordPress, and it’s been a bear-and-a-half. Seriously. There were many, many compounding problems, first with redirects, then with what appeared to be DNS errors but actually turned out to be a server issue that only […]
