My microscope arrived and C set it up for me! It is such a sweet gift. It comes with sample slides and a digital camera function. I adore it. My husband has always embraced my weirdness, and I love it. We appreciate one another's quirks. So when I start dying tin foil or asking to … Continue reading Microscope, Quirks, Hypomania

Quiet Couple of Weeks
A is having a birthday party next weekend! We're giving the kids pizza, cake, and ice cream. I really hope she has a great time and that all the kids can come. I've been exhausted.

We took care of errands together, but more … Continue reading Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week

Busy Day
I got up at 5 to drive to another city to drop the car off for shipping. It didn't take that long to get there, but driving on the highway makes me nervous, and if I'd left at the appropriate time, I would have hit traffic. So I left while it was dark. Since I … Continue reading Busy Day
Laundry Day
I have so much laundry to do today! For a while, the washing machine quit working after the power flickered, which slowed me down. But I'm determined to get another load done, maybe two, before my husband gets home. Everything is wet and gray. I can't wait to move. I am so ready to be … Continue reading Laundry Day
