Christmas Day

December 26th, 2009 by J.

We chose to spend Christmas Day at home this year like we have since 2004, when I was too hugely pregnant to travel safely and comfortably.  Once the babies were born it wasn’t any easier; they hated the car and would cry until we scooped them out at our destination.  Post-AVM, now I’m the one [...]

My insurance company is going to hate me

September 19th, 2009 by J. · 4 Comments

Oh, Joyce and Matt and babes,
They had a ‘Ru packed full.
They’d filled it up with camping stuff
Then unpacked it all again.
‘Cause when you’re well, you’re well,
And when you’re gone, you’re gone.
But ’till I see the surgeon Wednesday

I am already on my fifth movie of the day.  Some of them have been short, of course.
Yesterday I maybe did too much; in between lying around and watching movies I cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed, and tried to catch up on paperwork.  Overnight my fever returned with a vengeance, to 102*F.  This morning I resolved [...]

First thought

May 23rd, 2009 by J.

A few weeks ago, right before bed, I logged into Facebook to browse through a friend’s photos.
I really don’t like using Facebook (for a variety of reasons that I won’t discuss here), but friends sometimes post their photos in their Facebook account and in order for me to view them I, too, must hold a [...]

The Beach

March 29th, 2009 by J.

It was cool and windy, but still plenty warm enough for a trip to the beach.  We had been working too hard for too long, and needed to get away from the city, if just for a morning.
We brought the things we needed:  breakfast tacos, tractors, water, buckets, and a couple of gardening trowels.
Almost [...]

Seven Separate Somethings

March 3rd, 2009 by J.

1)  The suburbs can be scary:  Recently a couple of Cinco Ranch high school students wrote a satirical op-ed piece about students and families from other high schools using Cinco Ranch-area chain restaurants as hang-outs.  This past Friday the students from Cinco Ranch and the other area high schools apparently used Facebook to stage a [...]
