		<title>Water: Hot and Frozen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a house that was built in 1885. The house was five years old before they got around to adding indoor water, at the same time they hooked it up to the city water/sewer lines. As a result, taking a shower here was a little like trying to bathe in a gentle rain. Even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sixteen Years Ago&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right about now, sixteen years ago, I was in labor. Sort of.
Today, sixteen years ago, it was a Monday. I had been, by this time, having contractions for three days. I had gone to the hospital on Friday, been hooked up to all those monitors, been promised I&#8217;d have a baby by the time I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Drill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We got to do another drill last night. This was for a local city&#8217;s fire and rescue and was a lot smaller than the last one.
This time, the age limit on it was 10 years old, so I signed up DaBoy and his cousin to play, too. Randy refused this time; said he would just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, Randy and I participated in a state-wide disaster drill.
This involved getting up at 5 AM, over 90 minutes before the sun got up, showering, shaving (me), gulping coffee and hoping it would miss our bladders, and driving to a church we&#8217;ve never been to&#8230;in a thunderstorm.
The scenario was a plane crash. The way it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time last year, things were going well for us. We were living in a nice neighborhood with nice neighbors. Everybody mowed their lawns at least once a week; each weekend was kind of a race to see who could get out there with the mower first. After it snowed, within minutes of the end [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rant ahead. I try not to post anything that isn&#8217;t funny or at least interesting, but sometimes, circumstances get the better of me.
Tonight, we hosted a vacuum cleaner sales rep. We did this as a favor, even though we already own said vacuum; but it is an older model, so we thought we&#8217;d see what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Is It&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[..that Randy can be sleeping silently until I come to bed, at which point he begins to snore loudly?
..that whenever it snows, our driveway becomes irresistible to people who need to turn their cars around, thereby packing the snow down so it&#8217;s much harder to shovel?
..that the phone can be silent all day - hell, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hoo, boy.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tell ya what&#8230;I will never assume that something someone says to me is an exaggeration just because I can&#8217;t imagine it. I am reformed.
When we got Ella and Patrick from Club Linda, she told me that when these two were approached by another cat, they would &#8220;scream and run&#8221;. I even mentioned that in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Cats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the first cat we ever had used me as his personal chew toy, we decided to always adopt two cats at a time. To give me a fighting chance to escape.
So now we have Patrick and Ella. There are pictures of them in my gallery, titled &#8220;PandE&#8221; or something like that.
Getting to know them has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Elwood has left the building. He&#8217;s been completely miserable since Susie Q died; depressed, neurotic and lonely. Especially lonely. He has never been a cuddly cat; we live with him on his sufferance and any attention we give him is only accepted as a king to his sycophants. But this was getting crazier by [...]]]></description>
