So, um….Cancer Free!
This past Wednesday, after many delays and rescheduling mishaps, I underwent The Procedure, as we like to call it, and I am officially healthy once more. After months and months of agonizing and stressing and eating Haagen Daazs out the yin yang, it ended up being very much ado about nothing actually. Although […]

Okay, first, I didn’t knit that bag. Mine is still in progress. Rachel, I’ll have to copy it and mail it, because the magazine issue the pattern was in is very hard to find now. Apparently that bag was extremely popular. It’s hard though, because it’s INTARSIA. Doesn’t that sound like a disease? “Oh, I […]

I’ve just come from a meeting with my biggest freelance client yet, and oh my God, I have so much work to do I may perish. At least it’s an awesome project, and the people I’m working for are incredibly brilliant, so i leave these meeting overwhelmed but so inspired. Still. So much work. I […]

WHY DO ALL MY SOUPS TASTE BORING?
WHY DOES BEULAH LICK HER PAWS SO MUCH?
WHY ARE […]

Yesterday, after a very hard day’s work, I realized at about 5:00 that Simons had invited some new people over for drinks, and the house was covered in hair and full of trash.

Here’s how the discussion with the vet went yesterday:

…
Since Valentine’s Day.
…
Oh, no, not the whole time. Off and on. I’d make an appointment to bring her in, and then it would go away, so I’d cancel it.
