Bitching and moaning

I don’t feel like a princess

by Kathi D on May 10, 2010

Furthermore, I don’t want to. I am still coughing and snuffling and making all manner of vaguely disgusting breathing noises, and the lack of breathing is keeping me from being the energetic dynamo that I usually am (in my dreams). I am pretty sure whatever made me sick has killed several million brain cells, because [...]

Opportunistic viruses

by Kathi D on May 5, 2010

At first, the red eyes and runny nose blended almost seamlessly into my frequent sobbing outbursts. When I started attracting tourists who, attracted by my barking coughs, thought they had arrived at the nearby elephant seal breeding grounds, I realized, “Hey, I’m sick.” So, while my chores pile up faster than Lindsay Lohan DUI arrests, [...]

Enough, already, with the story!

by Kathi D on April 19, 2010

Good lord, will this story never end? Yes, it will! Today! I was going to keep dragging it out and dragging it out, but I am so bone-tired from living it that I hardly have the oomph to write about it. So, what has made me both tired and nostalgic? MOVING! Here’s the fix we got [...]

Write? What’s that?

by Kathi D on April 1, 2010

I haven’t even had time to read a blog lately. If I survive the next few days, though, I’ll be back home next week and I may regenerate enough brain cells to tell the tale of the last couple of weeks. Until then, hold onto ZuZu’s petals and pray real hard. P.S. It’s nothing bad [...]

Thank goodness for miracle-working Dr. Pam! She laid her magic hands on my back and within seconds, located the trouble spot and loosened up the grippy muscles quite a bit. She says my pelvis is out of whack. If I had a nickel for every time somebody told me that . . .  Here’s what [...]

Dehydratus interruptus

by Kathi D on October 29, 2008

I decided it would be way cool to buy a food dehydrator so I could turn my tomato harvest into “sun”dried tomatoes. This one did a great job on the first batch, and then . . .  The house was awash with the lovely aroma of tomatoes drying, a smell like summer itself, until the [...]

We had a heavily literary weekend in Sun Valley at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, which was just as awesome as always. This was our fourth time there, and it’s our favorite event of every year. I’ll have lots to say about it later on. For now I will report that I discussed the laying [...]

Two rants and a rave

by Kathi D on August 21, 2008

OK, so Diana has failed to heed The Memo. Diana, I would so hate to have to send Tiny to visit. You know, Tiny don’t like nobody. That’s exactly what he says, “Tiny don’t like nobody.” He refers to himself in the third person, which ordinarily would make me so angry that I would slap [...]
