It’s been a relaxing couple of days. Yesterday we thought about going to Freeport to do some more shopping, but instead decided to stay in. Michael and Bob spent the afternoon installing Debian on a computer with a fussy SCSI setup. I spent the afternoon reading journals, then went off to a quiet place and […]

Maine Vacation Part 1
December 30th, 2005 by pleia2
I’m currently sitting at this desk at Bob and Morgana’s house in Oxford, Maine. We’re on vacation! So far it’s been great. On Monday Michael was sick, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him as sick as he was that day. Something he ate? Just a stomach bug? We had to alter our “getting ready […]

2005
December 26th, 2005 by pleia2
I’ve been thinking about this entry for a few days, kept telling myself “too early to write it yet!” but since I’m leaving tomorrow, not to return home until after new years, I figured now is an ok time to do it. It’s been quite a year for me. In all honesty, I think it’s […]

Caligula Christmas
December 25th, 2005 by pleia2
Enough about people Christmas, what everyone really wants to see is cute cat Christmas pictures. Caligula started the day with a nap on my lap. In the late morning both Caligula and Michael were finally awake, so it was present time! As to be expected, Caligula got lots of toys. This is the best time […]

Reservations made!
December 25th, 2005 by pleia2
A couple weeks ago, Michael and I decided to take the week between Christmas and New Years off. This doesn’t leave much time for planning a trip, but we were optimistic. Michael looked at Bed & Breakfasts from West Virginia to Nova Scotia, the nice ones he found were all booked. This morning we did […]

What have I been up to these past few days?
December 24th, 2005 by pleia2
On Wednesday we had Kathleen and Barbara over from the Shaman class. They’re both really great people, and since they said they’d be in the area doing some shopping at Dreamcatcher we thought we’d all get together. Michael cooked dinner, and after some initial panic (“oh no! we didn’t ask if they ate meat!”) the […]

Christmas “Ethics”
December 22nd, 2005 by pleia2
A woman here at work often wishes people “Merry Christmas” when she gets off the phone. Since we’re a big corporation, I’ve wondered about this. She’s an older woman who is quite set in her ways, and when I recently joked about the Holiday vs. Christmas thing it was clear that she didn’t appreciate my […]

Sleep and errands
December 21st, 2005 by pleia2
I haven’t been sleeping so well this week. Getting to sleep in the first place is no problem, but I’ve been waking up a lot. Two nights ago I woke up around 3AM and just wandered around the house, crashed on the couch for a bit, and then went to bed again about an hour […]

Sunday
December 19th, 2005 by pleia2
Sunday was nice. Spent the entire day in my pajamas, got some laundry done, did some reading. I finally got ahold of Henry Umansky, who has been super busy with work, to get info about montcolug.org. Because of all his current obligations we decided it would be best if he just handled DNS and I […]

Shopping and Beer (but mostly beer)
December 18th, 2005 by pleia2
I’m looking forward to a snuggly relaxing day today. People were busy yesterday, so I snagged Michael to come shopping with me in Skippack. It was chilly out, but most of the stores weren’t crowded. We pretty much stuck to buying for a few close friends, I’ll mostly be sending out gift cards and the […]
