Omicron and all that.

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 19 Dec 21

Just when I think that things are about to go back to normal, it seems that Covid is looming again on the horizon. So now J and I are going back to the bunker mentality, i.e. go out for only medical and necessities, and keep...

I'm baaacccckk!

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 9 Dec 21

I have done nearly nothing since March 2020. The only time I leave the house is to go to the medical appointments. A couple of month's ago I had a nasty fall, and then a few days later I fell again, this time whacking my head on...

I've been away for a while.

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 18 Apr 21

It's been a wild time of things. My depression hopped into the driver's seat last year, and I haven't really shook it off (a little) nor have I written anything at all. I have managed to get the first of my COVID-19 shots, read a...

Still Quarantined, Sick and Tired of it All

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 9 Apr 20

Two more weeks have passed, and thankfully, neither I nor J are sick. However, I think we both have cabin fever really really bad. I managed to wade through an Indian historical drama of the Ramayana which drove J utterly mad....

Quarantine, week 3

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 29 Mar 20

I've reached week three of quarantine. I live in upstate New York, about half way between the City and Albany. I hear very little traffic outside, unless it's one of the teens racing around the loop. I feel like I am existing in a...

Off to a running flop this year

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 12 Jan 20

Dear friends, this is what depression and chronic pain will do to you. You get up, and try to get things done -- and then you hit the wall. Most nights are not good for me. I wake up in pain most of the time, either my lower back...

The End of the Year.

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 27 Dec 19

There's just a few days left to December, then the new year arrives. 2020 is bound to be interesting, what with impeachment in the Senate and the election later on in the year. Also a new census. Need a new side job -- the census...

December so far.

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 10 Dec 19

Today I finally managed to clear time to get on here and write. Not that I have been busy -- far from it! Instead, it seems I can not rouse myself very far from a coma it seems, I feel fatigued all of the time now -- and yes, I do...

Oh Monday, Monday...

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 28 Oct 19

As I get older, I turn more and more into a lazy person. A lot of it has to do with the mobility issues, and pain. No one warned me about this. Out of the shower and ready to power this machine down for the night. I did manage...

Thursday.

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 17 Oct 19

The weather has changed from a very wet day full of wind and rain to a blah one outside. The winds have stripped most of the leaves off of the trees, and everything has that dulled hue. So much for the autumn colours around...

Saturday

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 12 Oct 19

I woke up with the sciatica unchecked in my left hip, so I am taking it very quiet today. J even yelled at me to stop when I was trying to put something in the dishwasher. So that was that for the day. Sigh. My desire to stay out...

It's been quiet.

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 8 Oct 19

Not too much has been happening around here. Let's be real, the high point of the day is when the mailman comes by. For the cats, it's when they hear us cracking open the food cans. Such my darlings, are the lives of...

Not much going on right now.

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 8 Oct 19

It's been quiet around here these days. Neither J nor I have been doing very much as the weather is finally becoming more seasonal, and cooling off. The downside to this is that I've been aching a bit more. So it goes! I've been...

Today was quiet

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 2 Oct 19

I woke up this morning in quite a bit of pain, so no art group. Grr. I did end up sleeping very late, and J agreed to take over the cooking duties for tonight, bless him. It will be leftovers, I suspect, as his culinary skills are...

Baugettes and L'Shanah tovah!

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 29 Sep 19

Today, once again I am attempting to make baugettes -- those long thin loaves that are so French. They look, well, odd. I'll try and post a picture later when they get out of the oven. I want to get to the point where they are...

Coping with pain

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 15 Sep 19

Things have been both bad and good lately. The bad first, to get it over with. My pain has moved into the chronic, very chronic stage. It feels like my arthritis is getting worse, and I am trying to move around more to keep it at...

It's Friday and that's ok.

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 30 Aug 19

Today, I have just one thing to get done, and that's a doctor's appointment. Other than that iit is flexible. I plan on cooking dinner for J and I very early, as I don't know when we will be getting home, and we really need to get...

Does any one watch this Programme?

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 4 Aug 19

Since the death of our television a month ago, I've been trying to watch things on my wee tablet -- a Nook. Yesterday that gave up the ghost too. To fill in my need to watch telly, I watched all of The Great British Baking Show.or...

Review: _The Death of Stalin:_ Brutal, irreverent, and funny

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 12 Apr 19

I love a good, dark comedy. Especially when it's well done and based in fact. For some time I've been wanting to view this one and I was delighted when I spotted The Death of Stalin on the television in all of its uncut glory....

I've been busy between several overwhelming things

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 18 Mar 19

First of all, the renovations have continued on. But now, we're just about to the touch-ups and paying off the contractors. The hall bathroom is gorgeous, and all mine. All we have left is to have the tub repainted. The master...
