I have a cold and there’s been a Covid outbreak on my daughter-in-law’s sister’s side of the family, so we’ve all been spending Christmas NOT getting together. Whatever we’ve got it’s keeping us away from dat baby. For Christmas Eve, Mark and I had homemade pizza and watched Love Actually and the Christmas Ted Lasso … [Read more…]
Yesterday we passed a milestone of cookie season. All the leftover cookies have been transferred into smaller containers and they’re in the fridges. I also finished grading yesterday afternoon, although I did have to go back in and change a bunch of grades this morning because I forgot to add points for a lurking assignment, … [Read more…]
… that the cookies are appearing on insta. Have a look!

And it’s only Tuesday (ha, now finishing this post the following Saturday – so Jasper is now one week old!) so we can still talk about it, right? On Saturday I became a grandma. Jasper Gray Lusis arrived for Al & Emma at 1:35 am. And cookie season officially started since I baked the … [Read more…]
Well sorta. Trying. The knee is better but still stiff. It still gives the unexpected sharp pain and I’m not moving with the greatest assurance – I’m afraid it will hurt so I’m kinda awkward when I get going. I am on what seems to be strengthening exercises rather than stretching which must be a … [Read more…]
My knee was doing so well – I had had a few days with really no pain at all. On the 7th, I got the OK to walk for longer than 15 minutes, and the physical therapist suggested I get some over the counter (OTC) orthotics since my custom ones don’t come till November 2 … [Read more…]
We have a pick up compost service and I’m supposed to leave the bucket out for them by 8:00AM on Sundays (I think they do restaurant and commercial customers during the week, so do individual homes on Sundays). On October 2 I forgot to leave the bucket out, then on October 9 they skipped us. … [Read more…]
I started writing this last week, when it was still September, the 28th to be precise, Wednesday, and that was the Wednesday after the Tuesday when the exercises & stretches the PT gave me for my bum knee and calf cramps started to feel like they were working instead of just making me cry. And … [Read more…]
So here we are on September 22 September 23, and I have not written anything since the 9th, when I was in Denver for Ethan & Megan’s wedding. Which was a lot of fun – here’s my favorite picture. The DJ did a trick to get everyone onto the floor, and I took a few … [Read more…]
We’re in Denver for Mark’s son Ethan’s big fancy wedding, and I am at our Airbnb finally knocking off work, and finally writing a post here, my first one in the month of September, and it’s already the 9th. As the evil stepmother (well maybe not soooo evil) I didn’t have to go to the … [Read more…]
