Nuts

Posted on October 20, 2008 by Carrie

Still trying to figure out what days to run as the seasons and sunrise times change. Tuesdays and Thursdays are definites, with preschool, and Saturday is long run day. I need one more during the week, and I had thought … Continue reading →

Posted on October 19, 2008 by Carrie

Many years from now, some October nineteenth in the future, you may find yourself wanting to hurl yourself into a nearby chair and dramatically proclaim that you’re having the “worst birthday ever!” Not to discount those feelings of that day, … Continue reading →

Runners: Open Thread

Posted on October 18, 2008 by Carrie

Did nine miles today at my favorite cross-country course, running “with” (well, sharing the course with, but not running alongside anybody) the running club. I felt awesome while doing it, despite – sighing heavily as I admit it – now … Continue reading →

I need an indoor ski suit

Posted on October 17, 2008 by Carrie

I’m wearing a camisole, a turtleneck, and a sweater, and I’m still f-f-f-f-f-freezing. My dream home will have a roaring fireplace, and I swear, I’ll sit in front of that thing from October to March, just thawing. Why do I … Continue reading →

I CAN HAZ SWEATER

Posted on October 16, 2008 by Carrie

New sweater. Nothing to get excited over; it’s straight off the clearance rack at We’reNotWalmart!-Ko. The t-shirts I bought there in the spring didn’t embarrassingly disintegrate during wear, though, so I’m willing to give the sweaters a try. Not shivering … Continue reading →

Scheduling conflict

Posted on October 16, 2008 by Carrie

Crap, I messed up the morning already. I assumed I’d be able to run while Gabe’s in school, like most Thursdays, but with the sick day yesterday, I forgot that today’s a “late start” day for Sam. He won’t be … Continue reading →

Bad enough for haiku

Posted on October 15, 2008 by Carrie

1,000 words

Posted on October 14, 2008 by Carrie

He’s in bed an hour early tonight, ostensibly reading a book, but I’m betting he’ll fall asleep in short order if his cough lets him. Gabe tried to claim illness, too, just to get the Tylenol.

Selective stoicism

Posted on October 14, 2008 by Carrie

Well, crap. My little man, who yesterday was looking a little peaky to me, but who didn’t complain (except to Eric, to tell him about the stitch in his side he got running through the corn maze at the apple … Continue reading →

Weird fever

Posted on October 14, 2008 by Carrie

It just keeps coming and going, since Sunday morning. I’ll feel okay, go back to normal, and several hours later, it’ll be back and making me feel woozy. I suppose that if I was really concerned, I might decide to … Continue reading →
