State Fair plans

The Minnesota State Fair starts today, with fog and rain.
My knee was doing better, until I hopped out of the car to return a library book yesterday. Looks like this is going to put a crimp in our State Fair plans. It was going to be a challenge to cart OLC around there […]

I messed up my knee the other day: I pivoted, and something went Pop! Then I went and did a lot of walking/limping around on it. That didn’t make it feel any better. MFH doctored it some last night, and it is better today. Needs more time to heal, though.

This week was World Breastfeeding Week. OLC is still going strong with nursing, at nine months, which puts her in a small minority of babies. For me, it has helped me to get better rest at night; I haven’t had much sleep deprivation since she learned to nurse lying down, sometime in the […]

Yesterday

Yesterday was just a bad-news day for us. MFH’s car broke down on the way to work, and he didn’t make it in until afternoon. One of my co-workers is in the hospital. My newly-renewed driver’s license has gone AWOL. Oh yeah, and there was that bridge that up and fell […]
