I am mad at the world today. Some of it’s within reason; other parts are completely irrational, but I don’t feel inclined to let them go. To borrow from Dot, “I’m mad, I’m mad, I’m really really really mad!”
(Okay, watching that made me feel a little better, but the point still stands.)
Anyway, if […]

I wish I could have Sam with me everywhere Gabe and I go. When Gabe starts being, well, Gabe, I could point to Sam and say, “Look! I’m not a complete failure as a parent! That one isn’t nuts!”
Unfortunately, when around Gabe, Sam often tends to absorb and act on the […]

So, here’s the deal: the orthopedist (who is not a runner, but who specializes in sports medicine) thought it was a stress fracture from the beginning. I brought up the idea of peroneal tendinitis, and while he agrees it’s a possibility, he doesn’t want to rule out a fracture, either. Here’s something […]

GABE: “Get out, Sam! Get away from here! I’m the kid who’s special, not you!”
SAM: “We’re both special, Gabe.”
GABE: “No, you’re not! Just me!”
It’s been tantrums, tantrums, tantrums from him, all day long. He is driving me up a wall.
“Noooooooo! I don’t want a nap! What if I want […]

My foot does not feel better today. I only managed to get a little over a mile of running in before I came to my senses and walked (limped, really) home. Can’t tell you how much I desperately want this to be something small, something fixable by as minor a change as the […]

Somehow, I need to stop giving the impression that I’m capable of repairing things. I mean, really; the assumption that I’m capable can get me into more trouble than doing me good.
I doubt that the particular person making demands of me in this situation, though, would care even if I were glassy-eyed and tripping […]

It’s irritating to try to balance a mostly-outdoors hobby with weather issues and a husband who travels a lot. Knitting was easier in this regard. I’m supposed to do a hill workout on Monday, and I figured it would actually be doable with my parents here, even if Eric wasn’t; I actually […]

Somehow, I didn’t manage to get a whole, rectangular patch of my back with sunscreen when we were at the lake yesterday. Nice to be able to wear a bikini, I’ll grant you, but it does mean greater hazards in the realm of sun protection. So now I have a nice […]

It’s hot. I go outside to the garage to see about hauling out the kiddie pool. I am barefoot, because I am a MORON.
Kiddie pool: has no plug. I go back in the garage in search of the sprinkler.
Sprinkler: nowhere to be found.
Interlude: one of the new renters […]

Maybe I’ve no room to complain, since I’ve certainly had warm seasons in which our yard was in a somewhat perpetual state of unkemptness. (Unkemptitude?) Maybe, then, this is a payback for that, or perhaps just a little lesson to keep me from ever falling back on those wayward days.
Still. It is a […]
