Oh, I have been gritting my teeth all week against the pain of a gland problem that has landed me screaming on a table in the ER many times over the years. For this round, I had to wait several days from the onset of PAIN to have a second try at the surgery that [...]
This afternoon, we’re embarking on a regimen of ice chips and massages from swarthy latin boys. The tattoo sessions did not go as planned… -xxoo Share:
Things are looking up. I finished the wedding thank you notes that so plagued me. Sample: “Can you believe we haven’t even thrown these at each other yet? I am sure they would hold up admirably even if we did, owing to the high quality.” I resisted the temptation to say “Thank you for contributing [...]

The last few days have been very jolly in the way that people can’t help being when the weather changes- long bike rides along [...]
I am sure 10% of the reading audience just clapped hand to breast and shrieked. The other 90% plodded on, unruffled. Most likely the members of the majority are foreign, or perhaps just American. You hurt mama when you misuse punctuation. The it’s/its quandary, which really isn’t much of one, is oft-tilled ground. Yawn. When [...]
