Some days. I felt like a vegetable yesterday. Just to start out the day, too. That's not good. Groggy and soggy. I felt like a piece of deep green moss in a dormant Oregon lawn that has soaked up all the moisture it can in months of rain and wants to scream but has no way to do that and just has to lay there and take
There seem to be a lot of huge big males out all over, fighting, getting into trouble, causing sleeplessness in residents unfortunate enough to live in areas where people are not fixing their cats, and....spreading diseases, like FIV. FIV is a virus cats get when they are bitten by an infected cat. Deep bite wounds males i

I fought for the cats I took up today to be fixed. I didn't want to be short again. Today I took up 9 to be fixed, two more than I had appointments to get fixed. But I scored two more appointments from someone else. Six of the nine were very large stinky boys. After I left them at the clinic, I came home and it too
When I was attempting to stop that patio storage box order, not knowing when or if it would ship, Amazon would not let me into my account, without "re-signing in" which meant re-entering my password, even though my password is automatically supplied by chrome. I don't remember them all, for gosh sakes. Chrome w

Cold rains with gusty winds. That's all we've had since the snow predictions. There has been lots of snow falling all over Oregon, feet of it. Just not here. We have had lots of rain. Cold rain that chills a person all the way through, we've had that every day, and its especially cold when the wind is tossing me

[Pauling as Administrator] Towards the end of the summer of 1937, Linus Pauling was confident that the Rockefeller Foundation would award a $300,000 grant to both the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and the Division of Biology at the California Institute of Technology. Indeed, so confident was Pauling that he

Just a quick life update. We’re moving back to the United States in April. It’s been a big decision for sure as we’ve made a lot of great friends during our time in the UK and... .
Week 6 in my 2019 #housewife #digitalbulletjournal #digitalplanner. The weatherguessers kept saying it would snow, but all we got was a heavy dusting. Bummer. I kept warm this week with lots of little chores like swapping icky warm white lightbulbs for bright cool white daylight bulbs. Do you prefer warm or cool indoor ligh

Week 5 in my 2019 #housewife #digitalbulletjournal #digitalplanner. This week started off with just two or three chores and ballooned into a full week of work without any effort. How does that happen? How do things just suddenly need attention? Pretty sure it's all the cat's fault. No other explanation. 🤷♀️ . Cozy
I had seven reservations this morning. I only caught three cats (hanging head). I tried. Usually I'd start on Saturday, but had the tree people here then. Then it turned cold Saturday night and all the roads froze up and didn't unfreeze until well after 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning. We had no snow here but Lebanon, wher

The maple is slowly coming down today. I went out early, just after light, to take down cat yard wire. I got drenched, as it began to snow big wet flakes about then, but that didn't last, and mostly it was rain. I got wet fast and only took down some of the cat wire, unsure if the tree cutters were coming. He came
We don't have a lot going on here in Oregon in the winter. Mostly it rains. Or drizzles. Or it just kind of is....the thick damp air surrounds us, confines us, until we reach for anything that is different and possibly exciting. And so, the possible snow event of this weekend and next week looms a bit larger than per
