I was looking forward to today. In good news, my throat still hurts when I swallow, but not really terribly bad. I can eat without the tons of eye-tearing pain. And I can’t feel my throat hugging itself anymore, and you can’t see my lymph nodes from the outside of my neck anymore. However, I [...]

Today is my first day in a long time being by myself for an extended period. Jay is back in daycare Tuesday & Thursday. Ada has school all day. I have almost 8 hours to myself. I’m currently listening to my typing and a few chirping birds. The silence is wonderful. However, I do have [...]

Our deep freeze has been turned off for awhile. I worked at eating enough of its contents so the remaining could be placed into the two fridges we have in the house. The main reason was to defrost it, but I kept enough supplies in the two indoor freezers, that I never turned it back [...]

Ada has been all about the drama today. Even James has been grumpy, although his grumpy is magnitudes more pleasant than Ada’s. I put him down for a nap at 12:30, and he is still asleep. I’m considering getting him up so he isn’t awake until midnight tonight. Ada went to the store with me [...]

Day 65: Anthony This is my 9-year old nephew, Anthony. He kept suggesting that I get bullet-proof windows. He also thought it would be cool if I got a kitchen table with a glass top—that was bullet-proof. I removed my table cloth to reveal my glass top in my table, but I countered both his [...]

Day 62: Zach This is my 5-year old nephew, Zach. All of my brother’s kids were shy when they were younger to the point that you could not go near them without them running off or crying. They all got over it, but Zach still shows some shyness, so he was the hardest to photograph. [...]
