Me: When I was a kid, I had to wrap myself up in my blankets with a certain system before I could go to sleep. It was designed for the maximum rolling without leaving myself uncovered.
Ian: Wow. That doesn’t seem like you at all.
I seriously don’t realize what a weird kid I was until I [...]

Couple weeks ago I had a dream that I found a tiny lump in my breast. And then I groggily said to myself, “hm. I should make a note of that and investigate it properly tomorrow morning.”
When I woke up, I couldn’t remember if it was just a dream or not. And I couldn’t remember [...]

I’ve been not feeling very peak for a long time now. After a particularly heavy start to this month’s period, I finally went and looked up symptoms of anemia and found that I’m symptom-ridden.  Fatigued, can’t concentrate, insomnia, sore eyes, curved & brittle nails, low body temperature, breathlessness and headaches with activity, etc, etc.
This [...]

So here is the silk. I might actually have had too much light when I tried to photograph it, but you can at least see that it’s a nice off-white. The colour is actually what I would call a warm taupe. It’s like what most people call champagne, but darker and with a tiny hint [...]

My aunt tells me I need to post pictures of this silk. I will try to do that this afternoon - though my camera has a way of making everything look too red and the colour is pretty subtle, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to capture it. If I can, I think [...]

So I managed to have a pretty good birthday. Two people made me tear up because they surprised me with such thoughtful gestures.
The night before my birthday, Ian was doing last minute laundry. And he put a load on right before we went to bed, saying he’d have to set his alarm for the middle [...]

Ask me when is the last day that I didn’t go into work. December 27th, that’s when. I took the weekend after Christmas off. I have been in every other day. Yes, even New Year’s Day. I thought we were going to slow down this week. No, well, we have slowed down. I only went [...]

I think it’s going to be a really nice spring. I can’t really list all the nice things that seem to be going on and coming together, but I feel like I’m surrounded by good people, good work, and lovely plans for the future. I feel like things are coming together and the world is [...]

It has been brought to my attention that I exaggerated in yesterday’s post. I did actually work a 60 hour workweek and I did actually accomplish all those things and my back was actually spasming. But Hannah doesn’t quite weigh 50lbs, unless you suppose that her grouchiness weighs about 15lbs, which it probably does.
We don’t [...]

If you count Sunday in with the last week, I just finished a 60hr work week. The upcoming week won’t be so bad, mainly because I have other commitments preventing me from working late so much. So, while I won’t be at work as much, I will be just as busy.
On the other hand, I [...]
