My trip to Austin was supposed to be first, and Jeremy’s visit, but this is pressing. I obviously love the pretty autumn, the cooler weather, the colorful leaves, my cute hats. All the Halloween, the skulls and spooks and frights. What I do not love is this is a difficult time of year for me.Continue reading “Love Autumn, Hate the Fall”

This morning is marked by rain, a cool house, and arthritic pain in almost every joint. Even picking up the coffee mug was painful with stiff fingers. Makes me wonder what it would be like if I couldn’t lift a simple cup of coffee. Ah well. The Tylenol and the caffeine should help. My neckContinue reading “Transitions into the Dark of the Year”

And the slow creep of the year is upon us. Temperatures have dropped. Yardmasters changed out the master valve under the bushes, so the yard water is done for the year. Working on using the rain barrel water, then time to put those away. Next Wednesday the swamp cooler gets buttoned up for the season.Continue reading “Get busy Chilling”

First day of Autumn arrives, the wheel turns as it ever does. Warm outside, but noticeably cooler. I’m seeing down leaves already. Noelle didn’t garden this week, but I have does a few dribs and drabs. Move the cute little hanging pots, put the swirly balloon spinners in the back. Clear off the black table,Continue reading “Mabon Greetings.”

Doc Jones prescribed an antibiotic, and it is working nicely. My tummy and gut are not even upset, which is pleasant. The face pain is nearly gone. Yay. I love the small pharmacy which filled the call in order; they do free home delivery and keep my card on file. A ten day supply wasContinue reading “Modern Medicine, Huzzah.”

Argh. So, I have a tooth implant, just the screw part, not the toothy part. Upper left, in the middle. It hurts, but not so much on the inside. My face hurts, on the outside, with pressure. It could be a sinus infection, but I doubt it. Just saw Dr. Jones because a tooth crackedContinue reading “Stupid Nerves”

Well, the sprinklers are fixed. I should have checked the front sprinklers along the street, of course one is smushed from being driven over. Sheesh. The ones out back are great though, and the main valve will be fixed once the irrigation water is off. The front can be fixed up in the spring. IContinue reading “Half-Life”

Daily stuff is just stuff. The sun is red, the air smoky, it’s hot and the stinging bugs have chased the hummingbirds away from the sugar feeder. I brought it in and have hung a trap instead. I was going to order more traps, but everything on Amazon is backordered or tripled in price. HomemadeContinue reading “The Surreal and the Mundane”

I don’t know exactly how I feel, but I can feel another shift. I had dreamed about Larry, and Jeremy called to tell me he had too. That Larry was happy and needed to get in touch with me. Mine was he needed a new vehicle, and event though I showed him the new tiresContinue reading “Day One of Year Four”

Home again, home again. Seattle was wonderful, even with my lowkey visit. My friend Holly picked me up from the airport, very wonderful of her to do that. I had the very same room in The Camlin as the time before, the studio in the back on the tenth floor. I call it The FishbowlContinue reading “Seattle Success”
