I mean, cookie season’s not quite over; there’re still quite a few cookies in the house, buckets with kinds we like for us to eat, clamshells that people will be picking up for the leftover cookie grab, and I think the cookie fairy will go her rounds Tuesday. But still, it’s time to reflect on … [Read more…]
So the cookie boxes have been dropped off at the post office and I should feel a great weight lifted, but I’m still stressing about will the contents be intact when they reach their destinations. Rach is getting an extra box with some nice boots she was keeping here when she used to come once … [Read more…]
I was still positive on the Thursday after Thanksgiving, albeit with a really faint line. Which could mean nothing, but both Megan and Pia had the really faint line on the last test before their negative test that marked the end of quarantine. So, Mark went to Chicago for the day Friday without me, and … [Read more…]

It’s been awhile since I’ve written, and it sorta seems that long, but also it sorta doesn’t, like that carton of yogurt I pulled out of the fridge this morning that I thought was kinda new, only to see it’s actually only 2 days away from the end of that week you get after the … [Read more…]

And it’s only Tuesday (ha, now finishing this post the following Saturday – so Jasper is now one week old!) so we can still talk about it, right? On Saturday I became a grandma. Jasper Gray Lusis arrived for Al & Emma at 1:35 am. And cookie season officially started since I baked the … [Read more…]
Well sorta. Trying. The knee is better but still stiff. It still gives the unexpected sharp pain and I’m not moving with the greatest assurance – I’m afraid it will hurt so I’m kinda awkward when I get going. I am on what seems to be strengthening exercises rather than stretching which must be a … [Read more…]
Here it is Christmas Day, very happy merry to all! and I am just now getting to the party/cookie season wrap up. [probably] Needless to say, I did not take any pictures of cookie platters when I was making them for the pandemic-style party, with people coming in shifts, all eating & drinking upstairs, cookie-box … [Read more…]
