Wave Without A Shore

But we are redoing the house windows...which are extremely hard to open and worse to clean. That turned up as it seems the seal on the 8x6 picture window has broken and let water in. Sigh. We found that when we were doing the last of the living room. The only thing we...

Just moved 2 fish tanks, one 54 gallon, weighing (with stand, sand, rock and water) about 800 lbs; and one 105 gallon, oak stand, glass top, weighing (with stand, sand, rock and water) about 1700 lbs---out of their corners on carpet with scuzzy padding and back to...

I've known for a few weeks, but they've now announced it. Yrs truly will receive the honor at the Nebulas in Chicago to be followed by an autographing open to the public, as I understand it. I didn't achieve this without the kindness and loyalty of my readers.

Jane and I are taking the day off, mostly, playing GW2 and having a fancy breakfast (bacon, hashbrowns, eggs with sour cream, and English muffin (I think the English call it a crumpet.) And skipping lunch because we pigged out on breakfast, supper will be Jane's...

My new glasses are ready. I might go pick them up, if the eye stays as quiet as it is, but I can still tell it's not happy, so it may not stay quiet all day. I've had compresses on the eyes every hour or so all day yesterday, and it's helping---which is a good thing....

Still occasionally feels like a contact lens stuck where it shouldn't be, but the heat compresses are really helping. Seems dry eye and this sort of thing are not an unknown result of the cataract surgery---I have this from a friend online who is an...

I don't know whether its psychosomatic or what, but waked at 4:30 with the left eye puffy and painful...called the surgeon, which has been a process: took me from 7 am till about 11 to get hold of just the desk at the surgery center; and they're going to have a look...
