worth it

Wil W points out a fantastic piece that he found on reddit.  I like what he adds too, so go to his site and enjoy…
That’s it.

The good and the bad

The bad: Another tough week behind me.  Work is a pressure cooker at the end of the month, and next month is the end of our fiscal year. It’s going to be intense. I know that going into it. Hopefully knowing that will help me cope with it a little better.
The good: I had a [...]

Resolved

This week was intense. For as much as I enjoy three day weekends, which I had last weekend. That combined with 2 days of training the days before the weekend, and then the extra day off, made this week hellish. We also lost a really good worker due to a bad corporate policy, so we [...]

February 14th

It’s been an interesting day here at Casa Grania.
First, it’s Valentines Day.  I used to hate it because it was more of an excuse for my ex’s idiocy than anything. He’d do all the stuff that you’re supposed to do on Valentines and then expect me to respond by doing something that I inevitably thought [...]

EARTHSHAKE!!! and a good idea

Am I the only one that remembers the kid show that “EARTHSHAKE!!!” is from? Minime loved the show.
So, I live in the midwest, and we had an earthquake this morning.  I live very near the epicenter, and I felt it.  Every once in a while, Mother Earth likes to remind us who’s really in charge.  [...]

50% less stirrups :)

This storm we’re having isn’t so bad, even though we might have 12″ before it’s over.  The timing of this one is good. Rush hour this morning wasn’t awful, then it snowed all day, and stopped in time for the drive home. Now it will snow most of the night and the plows will get [...]

Where’s the pod?

Today is Saturday.  I got up early, had an awesome, healthy breakfast with a dear friend.  She is an employee of a national tax prep place, so she also does my taxes, at a greatly reduced rate, for which I’m extremely blessed. They were done and filed before 8:30 this morning. I owe a few [...]

Life

Sometimes life happens and I don’t have enough energy at the end of the day to write anything but a recap, but I don’t really feel the need to recap everything, so here’s the short list and a new-ish musician that i’ve just discovered:

Barfy cat is barfy again. She’s not as bad as before, but [...]

Thoughts

I’ve been a little busy so here are some random things that have gone through my head in the last few days.
Meip Geis died yesterday. Anyone who knows the story of who Anne Frank was knows who Mrs Geis was. She was 100.  This is from an interview that she did with a group of [...]

New Years stuff

I don’t make New Years resolutions.  Deciding to do something solely because of the date isn’t reason enough for me to consider it, unless I was already considering it, which, this year, didn’t really happen.
I have discovered a few things about myself these last couple of weeks.  I started writing about it a few times [...]
