sheila take a bow
Sheila, take a bow
You are "Sheila take a bow."

You know that life hurts, and you've had your share
of pain, but that doesn't mean you can't still
have a good time. You know the importance of
not dwelling on your problems. You have a
generally positive outlook, and you are a
really good friend.

da shop
I am grateful for my readers - I really am, and especially that they hang in there when my updates are sparse. I promise that this Stella is trying to rediscover her groove.

Today's riff includes taking baby, car seat, and one-hand-handleable baby stroller on a loooong bus ride with one transfer to the dinky suburb where my mom lives, and where I went to high school to pick up my vehicle, which is in the shop. I ventured outside a few moments ago, coffee in hand, to see if I could manage the car seat in one hand and the stroller in other......can this even be accomplished? I'd ask to borrow D's sister's car (in previous episodes, I might have explained that his sister and b in law are buying mil's mom's house, and said house is immediately around the block, like within spitting distance), but Dave borrowed it yesterday and was gone in it for around six hours when he'd told her one. So, um, ek, dunno.

Riveting huh?

I was reading y'alls updates and in the process became interested to see if this - BRAND NEW- keyboard feels any better. It's brand new and some of the keys are stingy and sticky, one a is sometimes aaaaaaaa.

Anyway, I'll let out a hoop and holler from the other side.

Hey. Lazy? How bouts an update, fella? Halloooooooooo!

Love and squalor,

Es - Karen
