I just need a quiet place to have a nice lie down
So I took some ibuprofen because I have a fever. Just a mild one, right about 100 and my head was hurting like hell. Now the fever is lower and the headache is quieter, but I feel like the backs of my eyeballs are burning and my skin all over my body is all pin-prickly and shivery. My mom & step dad are coming from the east coast tomorrow for my brother’s thesis review gallery opening,...
Parental Divide
When the girl is melting down and losing control of her emotions, Chris digs in his heels and needs to show her that she’s being unreasonable and I find myself standing in that doorway where I can either step through to where he stands in his righteousness, or I can go back into the room with the howling beast and just be soft and give her a hug, which almost always defuses the situation so...

I’m getting too old to still be feeling like this.
I feel like this a lot lately. Hugs.
Thanks. Right back atcha.
I know so much of it has to do with getting stuck on the hamster wheel of all work and no play and the endless day to day running in place, never really moving forward or upward to another level. I wind up feeling hollow because all I do is try to cross off...

For earlier.
I know, it’s not Sexy Sex Thursday.

I woke up at 3AM from a dream that Luckyshirt was dating my ex-wife. Not only was I pissed (in the dream) that the shattered and shredded husk of my marriage wasn’t even room temperature, I was also disappointed and knew he could do better than that. I think I need an Internet vacation.
several tumblr/twitter folks have made it into some of my more lucid early morning dreams lately, too.

Reason #583 why the internet is probably not the best medium for me.
I hate it when that happens, too…but then I remind myself that even famous authors who have a whole editorial team working with them wind up with books in print that have typos all the time. Millions of copies of that late-night fast-typing mistake.
is there anything better than
sitting down after dinner to a bunch of work you didn’t get accomplished during the normal workday hours like you should have, but doing it with an ice cold cocktail and then reaching up under your shirt to unhook your bra and doing that thing where you shove your hands up your sleeves and pull the straps down and slide out of them and then yank the stupid bra out from the bottom of your...

I totally read that as *banged* and I’m thinking side-banged?
Huh?
Gosh
I forgot how deeply I tend to sleep after a long, hot soak in a tub full of bubbles and salts and oils. I read for an hour and then suddenly Chris’ alarm was beep-beep-beeping from the other side of the bed. I tried writing in my journal, but the scritchy-scratch noise seemed to make Chris snore even louder if that’s possible. People, at one point I thought he was going to swallow his...
I forgot to say
I think you’re all scrumptious in the brain and have vanilla bean buttercream frosted hearts. I lick you.
goodnight.
jeeze, does the internet need a tampon?
I finally cleaned that skeezy tub and took that long, hot soak and anointed myself with essential oils and it was good.
you should try it. it really helps the butthurt.
now I’m going to bed with my journal and a pen and I’m going to tell it all the things I wanted to say today but didn’t because I didn’t want to make you blush.
Queasy
I’ve been queasy as hell all day and now my joints are starting to ache and throb in a most unhappy way.
I definitely won’t be eating the seed and skin filled roasted tomato garlic soup I made for dinner. I don’t need to be looking at that floating in the Behind Bowl later tonight.

I just remembered that I actually work at home
so I can stand up from this infernal product features document, pop the tube sock filled with rice into the microwave, drag myself upstairs and climb out of these jeans with their scratchy, grabby seams and strangling belt, rub Clary Sage oil all over my abdomen, pull on my hot pink paisley, over-sized, elastic-waist fleece pants and then visit my friend Melvin in the closet if I damn well want to...

Aunt Flowintime is in town
I just washed down three ibuprofen gelcaps with an ice cold Stella to try to stem the tide of my knees throbbing along with my uteral parts and I have at least three more hours of work to get through this evening. I really don’t want to work any more today.
What I’d rather be doing is making somebody else clean my filthy upstairs bathroom (why does the house get so filthy when...
Wednesday's child is a silly ho.

Hey now. How’d you know I was born on a Wednesday?
At least I’m also silly. I mean, that softens the blow, right?

Sloatsburg in Rockland County gave me perspective
Now I’m thinking about that bizzarro year spent living in Sloatsburg. My first husband, our 3 year-old son (who is now 17 — hold me) and I moved there after we spent an even more ill-advised year living in Peterborough, NH on 50 acres in a passive-solar home heated with two wood stoves (because duh, it’s New England and the sun doesn’t come out much in the winter).
That...
Yes, inothernews, Nyack as in Rockland County.

My favorite part of your neck of the woods. That and Piermont. Time was when one could drive down the length of that pier that juts all the way out into the Hudson, permits or not. Now it’s all townhouses, right?
And - still a favorite - driving all the way up those mountains on 9W.
Sigh. :-)
It’s mostly townhouses. But...

What’s extra-interesting to me about the loose tooth thing is the supposed connection between losing teeth and learning to read. I think that’s part of the Waldorf philosophy, but I’m too lazy to look it up. Anyway, I’ve had a hard time accepting how little interest L has in reading. It never occurred to me that I could have a child who is so disinterested in the magic of...

She wonders if cats lose their teeth, and if there’s a kitty tooth fairy.
and I’d just like to add to that whole pizza-well-behaved-married-person-thing with a disclaimer that I am, indeed, wearing mascara. and blush that makes it look like I got a little sun on this very gray, very 40-degree in Northeast Ohio day, and a little bit of that same blush dabbed with my fingertip that has a wee burn from grabbing the pizza out of the oven with a wet pot holder onto a...
Cold, wet market this morning
Only the hard core market lovers were out. I was hoping for Baron & Jamie’s scones, but they weren’t there. Same with the maple syrup lady. And my fave honey seller said they’re still trying to evaporate some of the water out of the 150 lbs they harvested.
What I did score: the last of the sweet corn and canning tomatoes (chowder and roasted tomato garlic soup on...
