There is a fine coat of dust on many of the surfaces in my house, at least the ones that I have not cleaned yet. And no not like dust in the Phillip Pullman books, that’s an elementary particle, the stuff of angels. This is plaster dust, fine dust that sifts in everywhere, and it’s … [Read more…]
I hope! I feel like this is kind of the danger zone, 5 weeks on crutches, that I hit once before when I started building up my walking and turned out my knee was still broken. I’m still trying NOT to walk farther than a couple of blocks, but last week I started biking again, … [Read more…]
Friday was the last day of classes. It was a Jasper-care day for me, doing some grading and catching up on email while he napped. The kids let me off early because I had to drive down to campus to run the iSchool student awards ceremony, a hybrid event, decoupled from the graduation ceremony for … [Read more…]
Google remembers the dearly departed Alan Rickman. Google Doodle, April 30, 2023 Kind of nice to commemorate a day when he had a career success in the theater, rather than death day, or even birthday. What a week – the electricians are here, curing the knob & tube – essentially rewiring the entire house – … [Read more…]
The featured image shows my Monday morning when I was resisting doing my non-weight-bearing exercises – but I did finally get moving and felt better for it. Tuesday was a Jasper day and we had some fun but he was a little unsettled and I probably am not hipped enough into his, as Al said, … [Read more…]
My knee is still broken. The follow up MRI I had last Tuesday showed my knee fracture is not healed. I got the results Tuesday night in UWHealth MyChart – since the MRI was a referral from Group Heath, GHC, to UWHealth, then I got the results again from GHC Wednesday morning. I waited until … [Read more…]
Feeling so behind and not sure where to start … Looks like I last posted on March 25 – that was the Saturday we got a foot of snow between something like 2:00am and 11:00am, and I went off to work at the early voting during it. We were in this really nice back room … [Read more…]
And we also had a busy John’s birthday weekend before. Last year we were in Chicago for John’s birthday, but he was so busy with work we never even saw him. This year we had brunch with John & Megan the weekend before, and found out that not only were John & Megan coming to … [Read more…]
Happy 83rd birthday, Phil Lesh. We went to Chicago Sunday to see Phil & Friends at the Salt Shed, a new venue that recycled the old Morton Salt building. I guess it was starting to fall down so good thing – a wall collapsed in 2016 and an avalanche of salt covered up some of … [Read more…]
I didn’t get out of bed until 7:30 on Monday and didn’t get logged on to my work computer until almost 11:00. This week in my crutch weaning program, I’m at no crutches in the house and starting short walks of about 5-10 minutes w/o crutches OK on Tuesday. I was going to go back … [Read more…]
