Out Cold

      No Comments on Out Cold

Z let me know when he got back from picking Smalls up from school that E was down for the count tonight. Which leaves me debating — do I stay, or do I go? I am tentatively going to make myself go just so I get back into the habit of it, but on the other hand, home is where… Read more »

A Little Company

      No Comments on A Little Company

Yup, you probably guessed it — Littler ended up staying home today. She took it easy, and made sure to get lots and lots of cuddles. She even talked me into reading a book to her. I tend to avoid reading children’s books out loud because they dry my throat out, but this was rhyming enough that it didn’t do… Read more »

Dressed for Success

      No Comments on Dressed for Success

If there is one thing I like about winter, it’s being cold enough that I can wear a dress. Most of the year, I’m flipping layers on and off a dozen times a day because the ambient temperature is never quite right. Right now, it’s chilly enough that I can have the layer on, and maybe even another one. I… Read more »

Fun With Hair

      No Comments on Fun With Hair

I like having long hair. For one, I find it easier to care for — it’s brush and go, really. For two, it’s fun to play with. When I don’t have anything else to hand, it’s a good fidget cube analogue, and always has been for me. Plus, having lots of hair gives you chances to do fun things with… Read more »

Eeeee!

      No Comments on Eeeee!

Z and the girls got home right as I was starting to fend off a nasty headache. Then Z asked the magic question — would I like a coffee? Well yes, caffeine helps, and I hoped it would make a dent in the gross factor of throbbing headosity. To my delight, he handed me coffee in a new unicorn mug,… Read more »

Grudging

Yes, this face is a grumpy face, sort of. I took a bath, grudgingly, and came out of it feeling really sick and headache-y. Like, overheated? I know I like a hot bath, but I am hella confused by the feeling overheated thing. I chucked some caffeine and paracetamol at it, and am currently trying to make sure I’ve got… Read more »

Agua de Vida

      No Comments on Agua de Vida

One of the things that I did for myself years ago which I am grateful for was train myself to like drinking water. On days like today when it feels like it’s going straight through me, it’s more than a little useful. I feel better for drinking it, but I’m not confident it’s going to be enough to make me… Read more »

Bleargh

      No Comments on Bleargh

On reflection, I probably should have stayed in last night. Yes, I had fun, and I made progress on a blanket square, but I woke up this morning with a bit of a sore throat. That’s still there (though improved by repeated moistenings), and my head has just floated off to Fluffland. I think that my plan for tonight is… Read more »

Two Times

      No Comments on Two Times

Today, I found out one of my co-workers refers to the IT guy as ‘Two Times’ — based on the fact that it seems to take him two times to fix a problem. All I know is that I’m annoyed (dis is annoyed face) because I have worked really hard to get my ‘chores’ done quickly so that I could… Read more »

Sorted

After a bit of drama today, my desktop is back to where it should be. Z went into the repair shop to buy the discounted Windows 10 code on offer… which didn’t work. He found me the live chat support for Windows, and amazingly? It was completely awesome and even more helpful than I imaged it would be. The tech… Read more »
