WHAT is wrong with my damn feet???
Okay, sorry.  But seriously, this is getting out of control.  None of my shoes are comfortable anymore.  I’m getting blisters in all kinds of places.  My little toe on my left foot is like - I don’t know what the deal is!  Is it turning into some kind of [...]

My New Friend, Wally
I recently made it so that Facebook imports all my blog entries onto my Notes section.  I don’t know if this was a smart idea.  I mean, yes, currently any of my friends can look at my blog if they wanted to, but very few usually do. 
Oh, hell, like anything that unique [...]

October 1

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

So I just got back from the workout room downstairs.  The last time I was in there a girl had “Steel Magnolias” on the TV.  I don’t care, I don’t use the TV but I don’t mind listening to whatever someone else has on.
I really hoped I’d be done before the part where Julia Roberts [...]

The Squaw (Piestewa) Peak Chronicles

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

I did Squaw Peak again this morning.  I think I’ll start doing it regularly.
This morning I left the house at 5:30, and the sun was just coming up.  It was lovely.  I had made my coffee the night before, so I didn’t have to stop at Starbucks.  Way too expensive to do that every time.  [...]

Kids and Theatre

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

So I had just discovered the joy of doing Squaw Peak in the early morning, and I really wanted to do it again this morning.  But when I woke up I just felt too crappy from this stupid cold so I didn’t go.  Bummer because I suspect that this can really be a lift for [...]

Not-So-Hot

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Today has not been a marvelous day and here are all the reasons why.
First of all, I did do one thing today that was great.  I finally got up at 5:15, made my way over to Squaw Peak, climbed it, and went to work.  It was wonderful.  I love Piestewa Peak (Squaw Peak’s new name. [...]

Last night I had dreams about bugs.  Uck.  In the dream Conrad and I went to Hawaii.  We were so excited to go because it had been a while, and the ocean was beautiful, but the beach and grounds were infiltrated with bugs.  Big, fat squirmy millipedes the size of snakes.  They would fight with [...]

Doctor Oh-My!

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Well, I haven’t been to the doctor in a long while, and even though I’m really a very healthy person, I’ve been exposed to the health issues of others close to me.  My mother’s death, of course.  And, early in our marriage Conrad was hospitalized several times for heart issues.  Now he’s under control with [...]

I haven’t been feeling very well lately.  I’m not really sure why but I’m betting on the 115 degree temperatures with some humidity.  Maybe as I get older I’m not as sanguine about this kind of weather as I used to be.
I’ve been having lots of fatigue, and head rushes when I stand up.  I’ve [...]

Although this was a great weekend, I’m kind of glad to get back to work just because it is so HOT that it’s nice to know my hours will be filled and air-conditioned.  Entertaining Max in the triple-digit weather is onerous!
Aside from the heat (”other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”) it was [...]
