Drabbles and more

I’m up to 20 drabbles at 30_beverages with ten more to go. I’ve started posting them at lunaescence, one per day, and I’ll post them at ff.net like that when they’re all done. My feet are hurting today, and were hurting yesterday and a bit the day before. My blood sugar must be way up – and I’m not really surprised. The Girl made brownies last Thursday, two batches, and forgot to take the one batch to school. So we have plenty…

So, that’s what a stress test is…

Had a stress test this morning. Never had one before though I heard my dad talk about them.  My new GP had been concerned about something he’d seen in my initial EKG so he scheduled me for one. They hooked me up to the computer, got my readings while lying down, standing up, and finally, on the treadmill. It took me all of one minute to reach my heart rate goal. This concerned Dr. L. very much (I should think…

My girl has done it again!

My girl has done it again!

She’s drawn another TBs picture! According to her, the Thunderbirds characters show up in her doodles during science class (between taking notes–she actually likes science). This one is of Alan and his pygmy alligator… sort of a first encounter. She’s got another one that she’s working on, a "secret life of Scott Tracy" thing. She’s drawing the characters as "chibis": small, child-like figures drawn more in the proportion of children than of adults. Personally, I think she’s doing great, and…

School’s started and it’s too quiet around here

School’s started and it’s too quiet around here

Well, well, well! I can finally update! It’s about time MSN!   Yeah, today school started, and it’s really quiet here. I’ll probably head out in a bit to get a haircut and pick up the groceries I hadn’t had time to get last week. But the only noise – other than an occasional cat meowing at me – is the air conditioner humming away.   We went to the zoo in Columbia yesterday. It was the last day of…

A productive day all around!

A productive day all around!

Did a lot of writing today, between washing, drying, folding and sorting loads of clothes, and stripping then remaking my bed. Managed to get two posts written for IR:TNP today, one written last night went up, so I had three in all. Wrote a quick drabble on Grandma Tracy, and finished chapter 35 of The White Winds as well, and posted both. I even started a little bit of my "Tracy Daughter" fic (actually, she was bugging me so much that…

Another chapter up!

Another chapter up!

Got another chapter of The White Winds up today. Boy, was I thankful for Hobbeth! She saved my bacon by reminding me that one of the characters had discussed a certain matter earlier. Fortunately, I didn’t have a whole lot of rewriting to do. Thanks, Hobbeth! I’ve also joined a new community on live journal called 30 beverages. There’s a list of drinks that you’re supposed to write drabbles on. I’ve got two up already (I’ve asked for Thunderbirds as…

New furnishings

New furnishings

Well, we did a lot of furniture shopping this past week.   What occasioned it was my insistence that the boys clean their room. They started (haven’t quite finished yet) and one of the things they did was pull the mattress and ruined boxspring off of Boy #2’s bed to get at all of the junk under the bed. The thing had been broken for quite a while, and the cover was coming off little by little. Boy #1 decided that…

Yes! It’s finally up!

Yes! It’s finally up!

The color version of The White Winds boys – by the Girl – is finally up! It took a while, especially the bricks, but I’m so glad she did it! Thanks, Sweetie! Life has been quiet here at the moment. We had a nice 4th; went to Bro’s house and ate a good meal (good in all possible ways) then watched Batman Begins. A good movie, better than I thought it would be. My only major complaint, if it could be…

Tried something new today.

Tried something new today.

I got it into my head some time ago that I’d like a new bracelet to go with my medic alert tag. Not that I don’t like the one I have, but it’s nice to have a change once in a while. The cost, however, has kept me from buying one. But recently, Boy #1 has been making necklaces and earrings and little tags to hang on his backpack (which actually went back to the county, seeing as it was…
