My paternal grandmother, who has been a complete vegetable for a year or so, finally died early yesterday morning. Everyone is very relieved. Surreally, I woke up yesterday morning to the following two text messages that had been delivered while I slept, the first...

Sister P joined us from Georgia, and brought Malachi, her youngest (except for the one that’s incubating), along with. I shared a hotel room with them, and since Malachi is 23 months old and got sick for a while, there was a lot of Disney Jr. and not a lot of...

It was always interesting — almost a bragging point, really — to be able to say into my mid-thirties that I had all four grandparents alive. And now the youngest of the four has died. He was sixteen when he got married! I sometimes muse, If I had started...

In one dream, I was a badass swordsman that successfully defended the colony (which lived in the Jamboree building, of course) from zombies or something. I wore a super cool fantasy outfit and had Sword of Darkness II, which I even made fun of in the dream because...

This is only the sixth tie, but it’s probably the last for this break. As I mentioned, I often don’t get dressed at all on Sundays, and Sunday is my final day of no school and no work. But it’s been a good run. I am satisfied. Today I cleaned the...

This has been bugging me more and more since it happened, to the point where now I feel like documenting it (since it seems all I ever do in this lj anymore is complain XD) My dad gets these cysts on his skin that have to be surgically removed; it’s been going...

In case you hadn’t noticed, my grandpa is quite tall… Eventually we left the lakehouses and driv back to Kennewick. The second-to-last disc of The Mummy Case ended just as we pulled into the driveway, so we brought the last disc in and sat around listening...

Now I am trying to remember what-all I/we did during the several days of the family reunion. Of course I went canoeing wis my brother and my dad and we all swimmed… Lester went on the rafty floaty item behind the fast boat and got rafty-floaty-item-burns on his...

So then we went to the zoo. It was the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, which is like any other zoo and not nearly as good as Denver except that IT HAS SHARKS. OH SHARKS. Oh shark oh shark are you grey wis grey belly or… never mind. Anyway, it’s a very...

OK. It took a day longer than I expected… mostly because I forgot that Lester had emptied one of my camera cards onto his phone card when I ran out of space, so I had to get those peectures from him yesterday… but I finally got all my vacation peectures...

Lester swimming I believe it is. Today I canoed wis my father and then swimmed in the lake for some hours. When I have more space I must tell about the dog and how amusing it was. I played ring-around-the-rosies wis cousins and got large quantities of water up my nose...

Yesterday L and I went canoeing a long way. It was awesome. We got out to one little corner of the lake where there are no houses and all these fallen trees, and got spooked. We feared we would run into one and tip, and the water there was kinda nasty, so we turned...

A composite of three shots of Lake Mason taken and edited together by my mom The family reunion, I mean. Most of the fifty-some participants seem to be here, anyway. How excited I am to see members of an extended family with which I am barely familiar and whose...

So my cousins Ryan and Kevannah, nine and seven, are here now. And after about an hour of playing wis them, Kevannah took me aside — literally took me into another room and closed the door — in order to tell me, “You kinda sound like a girl.” I...
