I was in the kitchen preparing dinner and listening to the news on KUOW, our local NPR affiliate. G. went out to get firewood and when he came back in I was sobbing in the middle of the kitchen. I had known that the Washington State Senate had the 25 votes it needed to squeak [...] This evening I texted G., as I usually do, to say “At terminal, will be on the 620 boat.” He promptly called me back, which raised red flags instantly — he does not like to make phone calls — though I was pleased to note he sounded fairly calm when I picked up. “I scratched [...] I have been getting some complaints (hi lagomorpho) about the lack of pictures in my posts. I will endeavor to fix that in cases where I am not just eating piles of neutrally-colored mush in a bowl (which is unfortunately often). I have been abstaining from shampoo for several days now. G. didn’t notice and [...] .flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; } Oscar’s best impression of a Dumb Dog (which he is not), originally uploaded by laurenipsum. I was crying for lack of Oscar, and then as I was browsing photos this made me laugh really hard, [...] So, I never said on this blog about Oscar. I mentioned that he had a scary episode that resolved itself. After that he started eating again mostly, but it was just a few — maybe six? weeks — before we noticed his appetite was declining and he was losing weight pretty severely. I blogged about [...] I vandalized today!! I was leaving the grocery store and on the bulletin board outside, there was an ad for some kind of weight-loss-shake-thing that is also purported to save you money on groceries, presumably because you (where you = the mama, according to the pictures) are not eating anymore? It had some before and [...] Today I learned where the Great Blue Herons nest on campus! The pics are kind of crappy because it turns out to be hard to take pictures of a bunch of dark blobs in a dark tree against a grey sky. Each of those dark patches is a Great Blue Heron nest. There were at least [...] When I was a sophomore in high school, a friend went on exchange to Finland, and I was like, huh, that might be fun. My mom encouraged me to apply, which is weird because she would flip out if I asked to go the next town over to go to a movie. Her boss was [...] In a couple of weeks I will be traveling to Washington DC for my sister’s college graduation (hooray!). Last time I went was to help her move there, and I was there for like 36 hours and slept on the floor of her dorm room. This time I’ll be traveling alone there and back, staying [...] Ruby’s head is on my leg and I daren’t move her because I am afraid to disturb her wounds. She tangled with either a raccoon or some sort of farm equipment at 3 o’clock this morning. We had all gotten up to check on some noises we all heard, and found three of our five [...] |
