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.

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…]
… in my last post. Friday was a work from home day, but I didn’t have any meetings until noon, so I started the day with a bike ride through the Arb, stopping by the library to pick up a hold book and return a cookbook that I decided to buy, finally swinging by Penzey’s. … [Read more…]
So here it is Saturday again; this time last Saturday I was heading for the Urgent Care. More on that in a minute. People are starting to come back to campus. Monday was my department’s annual faculty & staff retreat, and there’s a lot of moving going on in the neighborhoods where lots of students … [Read more…]
… Actually almost two. Last the week of August 8th was kinda crazy – I took two days sorta off from work, Tuesday was election day and Thursday was my birthday. Sorta off because I worked the polls on Tuesday and then still did some grading in my online class afterward, and even on Thursday … [Read more…]
