So what else bad could happen? The compressor went out on the a/c unit that is supposed to cool my office. Temps outdoors are in the 90’s and the entire end of the building where my office sits is in the 80’s with no air circulation. When I got the word early this morning that […]

Seems one of my neighbors also has bronchitis–and he’s had it for weeks. Great. Don’t think I got it from him since his house is downhill from mine and I don’t recall being around him before I left for Seattle. Think it’s just a bug that’s in the air. Had to go back to work […]

After three days off work, I am ready to be over this crud! Unfortunately, that is not the case. Am going into work tomorrow and will see how long I last. Will have to shut my door and post a quarantine sign on the outside to keep people away as I don’t want to be […]

In talking with my sister, Sally, this morning, she mentioned a treatment her dog groomer does called furminating that keeps animals from shedding. She commented that it would probably be too expensive to do routinely, especially if you have a lot of animals. Had to go to PetSmart today to pick up cat and dog […]

Actually there are 3 days remaining until I go back to work, but since 2 are weekend days, they really don’t count as vacation. Right? The faux finish on the walls in my bedroom looks spectacular but is unbelievably time consuming and labor intensive. I have about 2/3 of it completed and hope to have […]
