2006

Here is the first sentence or two from the first entry of each month of this year.Happy New Year to everyone!January 2006:“Happy New Year to everyone.Fred and I had a glass of wine each and toasted the New Year at midnight.I hope 2006 starts off well and continues better for us all...&rdquo...

I am trying to stay awake until midnight so I can get  my glass of wine and see the new year in. I go to bed around 11-ish most nights so this is an effort! tomorrow Fred and I are invited to eat lunch with our neighbors, Addi, Roberto and their three children, Mitchell, Gracie…

Well, I am still not inspired to write so basically this is going to be a mish-mash of what is in my head at the moment.It is snowing. It is snowing hard so I guess I am not going to walk down to the library. Actually, Fred was undoubtedly right when he said he thought…

Sometimes words just pour out of me and sometimes they don't. This is one of the "don't" times when I have to force myself to write.People in close proximity and no matter how much I like them personally , absolutely exhaust me. I think that part of the tiredness I feel when I come home...

So, the big news this morning is that my computer trackball is now working.  I have NO idea why it was not working last night and decided to work this morning. My theory is that it was pouting, but who knows. Anyway, In my half-asleep state on my way to the bathroom this morning,  I&hel...

My desktop computer has gone on strike, sort of. This morning I decided to move the printer off the desk. Everything seemed to go well except that my mouse {well, actually, trackball} isn't working. And the computer takes considerably longer to load up when it is turned on. Not only is the trackb...
