So apparently autumn is nearly here and I haven't updated in a while.

I'd say there's not much going on, but there's plenty. It's just not much to report back on. School starting for my older daughter, toddler playgroup for the younger. I'm volunteering at a hospital and will finally go back to karate after about five years away. The first few classes are going...

Summer is in full swing! Yay!

I just got back from 11 days of vacation and am still in denial. I need a job that feels like a vacation.

Thanks for the well-wishes! It's been a painfult few days, but I'm almost better. I learned that codeine really doesn't agree with me. My mother was a fantastic help. My husband has been great. Even my kids have been good about it.

I'm conducting another food experiment at the moment. Let's see if I can handle bacon and eggs, hmm?

I'm having my gallbladder removed tomorrow morning. Fun!

I'm supposed to make a pizza for my husband for dinner on Sunday. We'll see if that happens.

I can't wait for the Canadian election to be over. I don't think...

One of my favourite songs.

Is it spring yet?

Is it time for a vacation yet?

I feel like I'm in a holding pattern. Hell, I know I'm in a holding pattern, and I'm tired of it. I need to land before I crash.

Thanks for your words of support, guys.

Life goes on. I'm making sure to pay extra attention to the other three cats. I keep expecting to see Digby come out from under the couch or something, but the way he was when he was healthy. He was so frail at the end.

Going to see Green Hornet tomorrow with a friend. Yay!

"That's a noise," grinned the Grinch,
"That I simply MUST hear!"
So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low. Then it started to grow ...

But the sound wasn't sad!
Why, this sound sounded merry!
It couldn't be so!
But it WAS merry! VERY!

He stared down...

It's Movember! Did you grow a moustache?
