Run for cover…

I thought the water pressure in the bathroom sinks was getting weirdly weak, but as it turns out, the aerators were just disgustingly caked with water deposits. So after a few rounds in the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner they’re like brand new. Or as new as a fourteen-year-old faucet can really be. Bob was particularly impressed by the results so we also ran the aerator from the downstairs bathroom and the head from the kitchen faucet… Keep reading…Run for cover…

Wait…what?

It’s 11AM. I’ve been up since about 2:30. I’ve washed dishes, vacuumedswept the kitchen floor, baked a cake, made frosting for said cake, and now the dishwasher is running. I even took chicken out of the freezer and set to thaw in the fridge so I am forced to cook it for dinner tonight. I have no idea what the hell is wrong with me either, but now I’m getting a headache that is presenting… Keep reading…Wait…what?

I took three Aleve when we got home and collapsed on a bean… Keep reading…Sleepless in the bear cave…

WordPress, I would appreciate it if you would let me finish typing my post title before you generate the post URL. Plzkthxby. I’ve been awake since about 3AM. Because clearly I only need four hours of sleep during the night. I did a quarter mile on the elliptical this morning after Bob left for work. I did the same distance yesterday. It’s piddly, I know. But I am so severely out of shape, my legs… Keep reading…Falling off the face of your world…

Freudian Slip…

You say one thing when you’re thinking of a mother… I was perusing a food blog, as I do, and I decided to bookmark it. I have a slew of bookmarks under the “domestic goddess” category. My delusions, let me haven them. My hands landed on the keyboard offset. Instead of dom[estic]…I typed sin. I think my brain is trying to tell me I need to lay off the baking for awhile. —
