My foot really hurts, but it’s not swollen or discolored in any way so there’s really nothing I can do except try to stay off it. Which totally sabotages my plans for activity and getting better. Fucking great. Never wearing spike heels again. Also it’s raining. We are staying in tonight, which is nice, I […]

We had a productive city car share day, going to Trader Joes and Target and so on. I bought two 4-yard pieces of beautiful fabric at this fabric store–both of which were on sale–so I could make curtains. Also got sharp scissors and some spools of thread. All excited to, um, make my sewing machine […]

Hi. I went for a walk today for two hours. My poor left foot still hurts and this concerns me, because my plan for the next three weeks is to walk every day for a few hours, and in fact to try to avoid taking the bus. If one of my feet doesn’t work, this […]

I am grateful to my company for giving me good healthcare and for accomodating my legal right to worker’s comp and disability leave. After nearly a year of lower back pain in my chair at work I have finally been granted three weeks off, paid, to take care of my back and deliver it from […]

When I was a young kid, maybe 8 or 9 years old, my family would drive across Washington state to Loon Lake, which is just north of Spokane (Spo-KANN). While we were there, we slept in a trailer next to a boathouse on the lake, and would take a rowboat out on to the water […]

Very cool Java toy, which Leonard showed me. It’s a baby name database, but it’s done with a fully graphical interface. You’ll see. I checked out the code and it uses an applet with a .jar file. Those things are becoming more familiar to my eyes, along with .war and .ear files. (JAR = Java […]

I just boiled a pound of water and sand in a soup pot on my stove for 30 minutes. Ask me why!

I am going to have to get ten times more organized about my food. As in, bringing food to work each day is now a MUST if I want to be frugal about this eating five times a day thing. Otherwise it’s 4:30 and time to eat and the cafeteria is closed and I have […]

We took a very long walk today during the big football game. Went from our house straight down through the park to the beach as the sun was setting. About two and a half miles or so. The wind picked up fiercely just as we emerged from the trees out onto the flat space across […]

Why we are leaving California, in a nutshell. The other reason is that this state has one of the worst school systems in the country, and our governor was the star of “Jingle all the Way.” * * * I finished the “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” book and learned a LOT. I would […]
