My Day in as Many Words

      No Comments on My Day in as Many Words

I… survived? Survived the day, somehow. The headache BS continues to persist, but at least the kiddos were pretty well behaved and not adding to my distress. Which is to say, nothing caught on fire, Littler got a nap, and I managed to get work-work done. Well, and more Pokémon, but that was a given. I further managed a bit… Read more »

Ha Ha, Whups!

      No Comments on Ha Ha, Whups!

I meant to write this before I went out, but I forgot. Oh well. Today was our first day back at work-ish. I was home with the kids, as I tend to be. Smallhausen wanted to get her nails painted, and to go out for walks, and all sorts of things. We ended up doing none of the above because… Read more »

Oh Yeah, We Had a White Couch…

      No Comments on Oh Yeah, We Had a White Couch…

Once upon a time, Z and I thought it would be a good idea to by a white/cream couch. Even with having a kid. Two kids and two cats and years later, we had a less-than-white couch. So Z decided he was going to do something about it instead of resting and relaxing. Oh yeah, and he bought some new… Read more »

Competing Interests

      No Comments on Competing Interests

I am currently trying to make myself sit down and knit things that were supposed to be done before or during vacation, ha ha. Alas for my knitting, my Pokémon addiction returned to its roots; I’d downloaded Pokémon Yellow for DS Virtual Console the day before we left, and dived back into it head-first. I’m so pleased with it that… Read more »

Home Sweet Home

      No Comments on Home Sweet Home

We are home, and with no puke-based incidents! The littlest slept most of the way between ferry and home, so we managed to put off feeding her until we were safely back on terra firma. I think she was understanding of this, as she tried to sate herself with squash rather than demanding food. But yeah, we made it in… Read more »

Slowly Packing it In

      No Comments on Slowly Packing it In

Today is our last day of vacation. So instead of doing anything, we’re avoiding the daystar and chilling inside. Is fine by me; even if I wanted to see the wool shop, I’m much happier not moving. My back seized up rather painfully, so I took some Nurofen Plus, and it’s starting to unkink a little. It’s still painful, but… Read more »

Choo Choo

      No Comments on Choo Choo

Today, after getting led on a merry spirally chase by our sat-nav, we ended up at the steam train just in time for its pre-lunch trip. Perfect, non? Had a ride, had some food, and then rode the other train going the other way. That’s where today’s cover image comes from, by the by — for some reason, we keep… Read more »

This Again

      No Comments on This Again

Okay so like, I’m pretty determined to continue doing this as a daily, but right now I’m just freaking annoyed as hell with it. I like to do things on a schedule me, and the way things are going across the vacation means I’m not getting to this until late. This feeds my annoyance and anxiety, and and and. *shrugs… Read more »

Better

      No Comments on Better

In spite of me being antsy and cranky last night, things were fine. I had a good night’s sleep, got up, and had a nice bath. Clean hair? Awww yiss.    Well, it wasn’t exactly perfect right off either. Myself, Z, and his mother all seem to have been having morning headaches the last couple of days. I almost ditched… Read more »

It Was Grayer in Person…

      No Comments on It Was Grayer in Person…

But then, that could have been because my glasses were covered in a fine spray. It wasn’t raining per se, but the wind was super-gusty, and it had water in it. I was amused when I took the picture and looked at it properly, ’cause seriously, the wet on my glasses meant that it looked loads darker. At this exact… Read more »
