Such a headache!

Posted on October 20, 2017 by Erin

Yesterday, a bit after 4, I couldn’t keep my eyes open. Laid down to nap for a bit, and when my son woke me to ask about dinner (I ordered pizza), the head hurt, I couldn’t handle light — basically, … Continue reading →

Posted on October 18, 2017 by Erin

Of him the tablets proudly sing … Son wanted to talk about Gilgamesh today. It was fun reading him a summary from online and snarking about it. (Like, if Gilgamesh could survive walking across the bottom of the sea with … Continue reading →

Dance of life

Posted on October 17, 2017 by Erin

Still not as much focus as I’d like, but I knocked a few things off my to-do list today, so I’ll take it. Words tomorrow, even if it’s just three sentences. Today’s Inktober prompt was “graceful.” I considered going with … Continue reading →

Posted on October 16, 2017 by Erin

Posted on October 15, 2017 by Erin

Did you know that the Romans sacrificed horses to Mars on the Ides of October? Fortunately today, I encountered nothing so bloody. I also encountered no words, but I have a plan for tomorrow’s, so that’s progress. Just hoping I … Continue reading →

Early start

Posted on October 14, 2017 by Erin

Today, the boy was taking the PSAT, which meant I was up by 7 — practically unheard of on a weekend. It also means I got most of my Saturday tasks done by 9 a.m. and then flaked out for … Continue reading →

Superstition 

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Erin

I’ve never minded Friday the 13th. With one blood relative and one in-law having birthdays on the 13th of different months, if anything, I think it’s a cool day. On the other hand, it’s the second week in a row … Continue reading →

Begin the hours of this day slow

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Erin

Words!

Posted on October 11, 2017 by Erin

Not a lot of words — only 116 — but given the trouble I’ve had focusing, I’ll take it. Picture today didn’t come out very well. The Inktober prompt was “run,” but I didn’t really have any good photos for … Continue reading →

Task lists

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Erin

Fall shares one of the drawbacks of spring: pollen. This is why I like the first hard frost of the year; it kills plants so they’ll stop trying to kill me. (My son tells me neither the plants nor Pennsylvania are … Continue reading →
