I don’t know either. I’m struggling on titles, so they’ll be random for a while.

It’s been a rough few weeks so I’ve been diving a little stronger into the epic fantasy and going out on longer pain-free runs. YUM! No, I will not combine them. For one, I want the joy to last as long as possible so I’ll do them one at a time. Secondly, one does not ruin a…

I think E left Shadow instructions this morning to go through my office and make note of what’s messy. Why he bothered to do this, I do not know. Everything is a mess. In this photo Shadow is exploring a bin of Filofax inserts and is wondering why I am keeping task lists (not work logs, not calendars) outside my retention period. These are from 2004!

public safety reminder: road rules (3)

Thu 26 Aug 10 •

I’ve stewed on this post a good long time and tonight I realized I should stop trying to make it perfect and focus on getting it out there. School is starting up and I think it’s a good time to send out this reminder.

Why? Perhaps I might educate and indirectly save a life, or at the very least keep someone from doing something really really stupid.

Despite a system blowing through dumping cool weather and buckets of rain, I feel that my well of potential food topics has dried up. Each day that this topic comes around again, I put it off and struggle to write something, anything.

Please do not misunderstand me, this extreme challenge is partially why I’ve doggedly kept the topic in rotation. If I succeed in surmounting this writing struggle,…

The other day Shadow decided that Snuggle Time began at 3:50pm. It was hard to refuse!

This morning I gave him a punk hedgie, and they’ve decided that their snuggle time is 9am. Perhaps I’ll get some work done today?

It’s difficult to get all of the parts of a knitting (or crochet) project right all at once. First comes the pattern, then matching of yarn (and colourway) to the pattern, then tension and needle or hook selection, then creating. Sometimes it all falls together at once and the project makes itself. Sometimes whole sections of this process take longer than expected, as evidenced by my large fibre stash and expansive library/queue…

Curling Up (0)

Mon 16 Aug 10 •

What sort of book do you like to curl up with when you don’t feel your best or definitely need a pick-me-up? Yes, some turn to chocolate, others to adult drinks, however, I’ve discovered that, for me, a nice long fantasy series fits the bill. I finished some rereading parts of two this past fortnight and will continue them as I can.

It was not all magic and mayhem however, I finished…

Shadow waits with a degree of patience for the start of a peaceful and relaxing weekend. Enjoy!
