Last night my thumb was feeling irritated – just a little sensitive around the base of the nail. Last night several times I woke up with a bit of pain when I’d knock it against the headboard. This morning it’s just beginning to swell the tiniest bit. I will NOT have this happen again –…
Healing Before Flight
I still have the stupid sore throat. Ick. And I can feel the soreness in my ears when I swallow, so I definitely have to get this all cleared up before I fly on Friday. Appt with Doctor tomorrow – yahoo! I do have to say, though, that it’s a minor miracle that I haven’t…

Squash Pie
I love pumpkin pie – I ADORE it! I would eat it every day of the year if I could, and it takes great resistance to only stop by Starbucks on a weekly basis to get one of the pumpkin lattes. The big, bright orange pumpkins we use for jack-o-lanterns aren’t good for pies, though….
12,000 Runners Can't Be Wrong!
Yesterday I took the train down to Philly (a very pleasant ride) and then walked the mile from the station over to Loop. It went very smoothly, except for the fact that Loop was on one side of the Philadelphia Marathon route, and the train station was on the other.I waited for about 20 minutes,…
Contract / Knitter
CONTRACTWe’re in contract – Woo Hoo! Today was the house inspection and although we haven’t received the official report from the inspector, our real estate agent called with a short list of some stuff that they found, and none of it is major. Some of it is totally new to us – so we’re grateful…

The Crash – Day 2
I usually have a day of crashing after a teaching trip. This trip was rougher than usual – not so much for the teaching, but there was a lot of mental and emotional energy expended (idiocy at the Sheraton in a small way, house hunting with my real estate guy in a larger and very…
Haim
I got home after 2:00 last night. Our flight was delayed due to rain and high winds in the NYC area, so it meant – ultimately – more knitting time for me! Not a bad thing. The flight itself was not bad at all – I sat next to a nice, quiet guy, it was…
Three Houses, Still Waiting…
More about the houses in a bit, first about my classes! Sheraton – Seeth-ing is Believing! I will never stay at another Sheraton if I can help it in my whole life. I am officially on record, you can hold me to it. Upon my arrival in Minneapolis I rented my car (a white PT…
