The Day After Manitou Springs Carnivale Parade

Manitou Springs Carnivale was the second coldest. After a 50 degree sunny day on Friday, we awoke to snow, fog and very cold weather for Carnivale. But that didn’t keep the fans from lining up for the Gumbo Cook Off Tastings. And many fun people showed up to be in the parade. Too much preparation […]

Feeling a bit Squirrelly on this Grey Day

The morning was sunny, but the predicted storm clouds arrived on the wind as the day wore on. I wasn’t really feeling on track having not come to terms with having a new health challenge. These little guys sitting in the tree outside my window did make me smile. I had many phone calls to […]

Health Challenges Heading My Way Again

Not ready to hear the possibility of my body having a health challenge again. But at both of the exams I had in the last few days, the doctors were concerned about a lump in my abdomen. And want me to get an ultrasound. Have no idea what that will cost. Just when I was […]

Visits With a Doctor and Friend

Had my Doctor Appointment today. He ordered a scan of many parts of my body to see what is causing my excruciating back pain that only happens occasionally. Fasted so I could have blood tests. I am so grateful for my easy to access veins. Almost painless experience.  Over to a friends house to drop […]

Struggled with Feeling Exhasted All Day Long

An Early Morning contributed to feeling exhausted today. I had a 9 am meeting for the Creative District application I am helping get prepared for submission on March 4, 1014.

FantaFaces Detoured Me from Tax Prep

I had planned on getting a good start on my Taxes today. Instead, I took photos of the masks and earrings and some feather pendants I would take to Commonwheel Gallery and put on Etsy. It always takes me longer to get everything done for selling the items than I think it will. And it […]

Aliens in the Movies and on a Mountain

I keep seeing alien images after watching a movie last night. Last night my roommate again offered to fix dinner. By the time it was ready, a bit late in the evening, I finished all the “must have done” things. I was very tired of working in my frigid office, so decided I could take […]

Computer Never Shut Down Takes A Visit to My Favorite Tech

What did I say at the end of yesterday? “Tomorrow is another day, and I hope to be more on track for what I need to get done again.” Well, that didn’t happen quite as I had hoped! I didn’t realize my computer never shut off last night. And this was the second time it […]

Waxy Ear Turns into Earache and Distraction

I am not a good “sick” person or patient. Or maybe I am, as I still got quite a lot accomplished today,  just not what I planned. And am wearing down now . . . When I went to do a hearing test last week, one of my ears was judged to have too much […]
