Phone Talkies

So I am trying to update every weekday, I really am, but yesterday I just completely ran out of words because this happened. Three hours. Six minutes. Forty-seven seconds. That’s how long I was on the phone with Blue Cross Blue Shield, getting information I needed about our old insurance plan and signing up for…

Monday again?

Yes! How did that happen? We had a nice weekend. Seriously nice. The Blue Genie Art Bazaar turns out to be a lovely place for gift-buying. We found some pretty good tortas. We ate pizza at Bufalina, which was wonderful and for once not ridiculously crowded. And we went to a party! When did I…

The ongoing saga!

The water came on last night just after 8, AKA just after Logan got home with a giant container of water! yay! The area over by the other building is still torn up, unfortunately. Wonder if it’ll be that way through the New Year. Hopefully, this will be the last update about water and our…

Not looking good on the water front

No, not waterfront as in bordering a lake or body of water. I mean front line of the battle to get actual running water back into the house. Just got back from the store and this is what it looks like outside. Also, there’s nobody working on it, not even the guy who was standing…

Novelty

The water is off in the condo today. We were alerted yesterday by means of a note attached to our door. There wasn’t much explanation, just that some unnamed somebody would be working on a water line somewhere in the vicinity of the apartment. It’s kind of fun, turning the faucet on and seeing nothing…

Hi.

I exist! See, what had happened was, first I got sick, which you know. Then I stayed sick for a while. Then, as I am wont to do, I got depressed because all I was doing was being sick, and I need to do things like leave the house occasionally in order not to spiral…

We’re back

I’ve been sick like a really sick person for the last week. Good timing, right? Just when we go out of town? Here’s hoping I didn’t infect our friends and loved ones. Other than that, we had a lovely Thanksgiving. Oyster Thanksgiving, which is our normal Thanksgiving Eve celebration, had to be moved to Friday…

And we’re off!

Happy Thanksgiving, America! Cats aren’t coming with is for this trip.

Ugh Dammit.

I’m sick! Here’s hoping it’s a nothing 24-hour type under the weather whatever, because thanksgiving! This week! Augh! I’m drinking a big tall glass of my antioxidant tea. Thankfully, there’s some left. I’d make more, but there is absolutely nowhere to put it in the fridge! We’re heaving with Thanksgiving stuff around here. Last night,…

Soup’s on!

Actually, stock. Stock’s on, because I think we’ll be needing a good bit of it for Thanksgiving cookery, which will start in earnest TOMORROW. Today we slept in, and then went and had a ridiculously good lunch at La Casita. For the second week in a row, they totally blew us away with their chilaquiles….
