Interesting
When I was a girl scout, camping and learning how to cook things over fire, one of the first lessons we learned was the difference between “trash” and “garbage”. Trash is dry, paper bags, candy wrappers, empty bottles, containers. Garbage is wet, sticky, leftover food, stuff that gets nasty and stinks not too long after [...]
A Few Things
Once again, it’s Monday. Finally. That means it’s my Friday and with luck and maybe working a couple of hours on my days off, I’ll be back on track time-wise with the job. The new computer is settling in nicely. Very fast, very quiet. Lots of USB ports, but not enough in the front. I’ll [...]
Technology, what?
My computer crashed yesterday. Yep. Finally bit the big one. I was getting ready to do some work on a Word file and copying a large chunk of text and BOOM! The blue screen of death. I had that a couple of weeks ago and my tech guy did a tune up on the machine [...]
Crazy
Oh, it has been a week. Is it the full moon? Is it Spring on the wing? Is it the antsy, itchy anticipation of the dreaded springing forward? Is Mercury in retrograde? Who knows? I can only offer my observations that right now everything in the world seems completely and utterly bat-shit crazy. That’s about [...]
Made It
It’s Wednesday morning and I managed to make it through my first full week of being on production at the new job. Honestly, it’s not that different from the old job. Typing is typing, right? I am getting a lot more feedback. My direct supervisor (“quality coach”) lives in Arizona, for now at least in [...]
Re-Purposeful
As you know, we like to take old things and make them look new. We also like to re-purpose things when possible. And a while back, we were able to finally replace an ancient (pre-Pueblo) bookcase I got in an office garage sale with a real piece of furniture. The question was, what do to [...]
Elementary, My Dear…
G is out of town this weekend, off with a friend in Lost Wages. So, since I’m home alone I indulged in one of my very favorite things yesterday after work–I went to a movie by myself. I saw Sherlock Holmes–A Game of Shadows. I’ve been wanting to see it since the trailers started showing, [...]
So Far, So Good
I’ve managed to get my yoga on every day since I posted about my self challenge, except for one day when I went for a walk instead. Doing the practice after work is good–it gets all those nasty kinks out after sitting and typing all day. I’m once again struggling with neck/shoulder issues, but right [...]
Back To Basics
Wednesday, another day off, I got up early, around 5 a.m. and did something I purely love to do. I made a pot of coffee, grabbed my fuzzy off the bed, got the book I’m reading at the moment and settled down on the couch in the living room to read until the sun came [...]
All Kinds of Stuff
Lots going on around here these days. Right now it’s just before 6 a.m. and we’ve got a trip to Denver ahead of us. Good news–friend L has been out of the hospital for several days now with her daughter and goes back to the doc today to find out if she’s okay to fly [...]
