I'm a bit discouraged today. A couple of friends of mine thinks it's lack of sleep, but I don't know. My fuse has been really short lately--mad so easily. 😕 Lack of sleep? I have so little ability to have perspective right now. I notice my brain not working as well as it used to. … Continue reading 2022-08-23 — A Little Discouraged

So... I didn't go to bed right after writing my post last night: I ended up working on the dictionary until about 6:15 a.m.🙃 So... with that and then getting up at 7:30 to start the day, I was... a bit tired. 😴 And slap happy. 🙃 Gratefully, the migraine fun had taken leave for … Continue reading 2022-08-22 — Let’s Move Forward, Eh?

Well... either my migraine medicine isn't working as well as it was before (I've heard people who get migraines have to sometimes switch meds because they build up a tolerance or something), or I waited too long to take it and was beyond the point at which it could help. Either way, I've been migraining … Continue reading 2022-08-21 — Been A While

Well hello, my peeps. 😊 I'm running on fumes right now. I was up until about 4 a.m. this morning working on my Modern English dictionary. Specifically, I'm working on removing all of the accent marks from the first-syllable-stressed words. Why? Because the vast majority of words in the English language have the stress on … Continue reading 2022-08-20 — 4 a.m. Syllabic Stresses

Hola, folks! Happy Friday. 🙂 Hope y'all enjoyed the day. Today was less productive but more fulfilling in some ways. First car of the day today was actually the same as the first car of the day yesterday. She called this morning saying her car was completely dead again, so we headed back out there. … Continue reading 2022-08-19 — Worthy Cause

When my friend Cory noticed that I was gonna get home around 5:30 from work today, he jokingly said something to the effect of, "I guess this means you'll get your post up about 1:30?" (referring to the fact that I apparently seem to get my posts published way late on days I come home … Continue reading 2022-08-18 — Batteries. More Batteries.

Hiya, folks. 😊 Happy Wednesday 😊 Less draggy day today, which was nice. At first, I thought today might lend the opportunity to break a record for most cars completed in a day. We had like... 12 on the schedule, and none of them seemed like possible black holes, so there seemed the potential for … Continue reading 2022-08-17 — A New Record

Holar, folks. 😊 Today has been another one of those dragging days--for both Malaki and myself. In fact, halfway through the day, we just took a break and went to McDonald's, despite having a lot to do. You know how hard it is to find vegan stuff at McDonald's? 🙃 They don't even sell salads … Continue reading 2022-08-16 — Let it Rain

Today was... not very productive? 😅 I got up at a decent hour, but... I was dragging pretty good today. Tired. Took the trash up the hill. Packed up all the dog food and doggie treats and brought them up to my hill sister Liz. I don't think I mentioned it, but with our lives … Continue reading 2022-08-15 — Really Tired

The head... hurts. Migraine in progress. Mowed the lawn. Worked on cleaning out the garage. Hunted brown recluses. Getting rid of them and their sources of food. Good progress there. Needing more time off than just today. Might take tomorrow off as well. It's Malaki's birthday, so he won't be working anyway, so he won't … Continue reading 2022-08-14 — The Head
