I am having a difficult time coming back from whatever happened on Thursday. Systemic, local, reaction, whatever. I have had severe GI issues (which are supposed to be a sign of allergic reaction, according to Dr. Jamie-Google), sweats, foggy head and dizziness. At least the fever is gone and I think the GI will . . . → Read More: Still coming out of the fog

Ha! Not a chance! But I was heartened to find that while I still need to perform a fine tooth combing of November and December, we spent only around $33K last year. Of course, that doesn’t include palapa costs. A quick perusal of the palapa spreadsheet shows we spent about $8200 on the palapa . . . → Read More: The year in review
Pike is still down. When the doctor came by he mentioned that he was cutting molars and I thought the guy was a little wacky as Pike has not made one mention of tooth pain and he is NOT a child to refrain from mentioning the slightest irritation he might have or had at one point in time. He also said Pike had gingivitis and gave him some wash with which to gargle. Pike’s been on three days of hard hitting antibiotics and he is still in bed and still not eating. And his gingivitis looks awful still. Jamie poked around his mouth this afternoon and found that ALL his molars seem to be erupting. That explains his reluctance to eat but I still can’t figure out why he hasn’t complained a whit about the pain. The boy confuses me. Which, I suspect, is the goal. Continue reading A and D
I figured out my Noche Buena meal; Sopa de Limon (that Jamie is DREADING; he hates lime), Pork in Salsa Verde, Ceviche on tostadas (why did I begin capitalizing every word?), Tamales, Ponche, Sopapillas (I’m doing it AGAIN!) and flan. I guess I should get started, eh? Maybe Chrissy can make me a timeline like she does for Turkey Day. I don’t think there are any veggies or salad in the feast described above but maybe we can fit something in. Continue reading Oh what a wonderful Solstice! Minnesota is either getting warmer or I’m getting used to it. Coming back from somewhere today the radio announced the temperature as 35 and having just been in it, I realized that it wasn’t that bad. Coming out of Yoga today it was “nice” and “warm” and when I got home, seeing the . . . → Read More: The dog ate my post. I SWEAR! The central library in Minneapolis is stunning beyond words. We spent many hours there yesterday and went back for another dose today. I actually got a good exposure to many of the libraries; I hit Northeast, Sumner, one in the SE (Hosmer), Central and Franklin. If Lynden Hills were open I would have . . . → Read More: Minneapolis must be lovely when it isn’t freezing your teeth Somehow, I don’t think that Yoga is supposed to be practiced while a 4yo screams her head off, full of indignation and anger, while holed up, hiding under the dinette. Nonetheless, after starting yesterday, at the beach, the boys in the surf, the girls (supposedly) OUT of the surf, after starting a Sun . . . → Read More: Back to the Beach What an enormous difference a firm floor makes! The boys are playing on the beach, Jamie took Sissy to town to get groceries and Ellen wanted to play Blues Clues, so once again, I took Yoga inside on the floor. One thing I found the other day was that my practice is quite short; . . . → Read More: Sunday Yogurt I’m seriously considering the Mexican version of getting stuck in the sand. First, bury the back axle. Have such ultimate faith in your 4×4 Dodge diesel (purred like a little kitten, that Dodge Cummings) that you gun the thing, your pretty little accomplice next to you, continuing to spin the wheels and completely . . . → Read More: Snippety Snippets I have had two absolutely lovely practices the past two days. Settle in folks, or click on past, it is a Yoga post today. I think I might have finally figured out my back problem; I’ve had so many theories but I’m really focusing on keeping my back flat as a board and . . . → Read More: Yoga on the beach |

I wrote the beginning of this post in my head this morning which means it is now completely and utterly lost now that I have a moment to update the blog. Sigh. One of these days I’ll remember to write the damn thing down.
What a wonderful day to celebrate the return of the sun. Filled though it was with Sissy barfing, Jamie falling ill yet again (tummy?), Ellen hanging out with the sickies and with funny tummy herself but the boys and myself quite well.
