Thanks all for your comments about the photos from my trip. To balance them, here are the photos from the second half of that trip, travelling to the Red Centre with Wallybee: [link]

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Ouchie. Migraine. Blech. Send the good drugs.
She's beautiful, BT, and a very lucky woman. What am I seeing in this photo? [link] It's very cool looking.

Hi Deena! Yes, that was very striking. It's the carpet in the Alice Springs airport, and is based on Aboriginal designs. (Non-traditional colours, though.)
Wow. I like it. I want one of those.
Wow, that is gorgeous.

I feel like I haven't seen you two in ages!

This is true, I haven't been around as much. Largely due to work pressures and, well, Wallybee. How's the Midwest treating you?
The Midwest is freaking cold, is how it's treating me. Not as cold as it is where Windsparrow and Daniel are, of course, but single digits in Fahrenheit are no fun at all, especially when one needs to leave the house in the next half-hour.
Wallybee is a perfectly decent excuse for not being around as much. She truly is a lovely woman.
Anne! It's very nice to see you, too.
We have one degree F this morning. It's not a nice temperature at all.
I have no such good excuse as a Wallybee to explain away my absence. We've been getting the children and I new glasses (of which Aidan broke his the second day of having them). I love mine. They're rectangular and a dark reddish coppery brownish color wire frames with magnetic sunglasses that snap to the frames if I get them anywhere close.
I also had my annual pelvic exam and made my doctor laugh whilst scraping, which was not particularly fun nor intended. I am on the third series of antibiotics, this time 500 milligrams of Levaquin for 21 days, which means my wrists are a bit fragile (always get a carpal tunnel flare up when I take levaquin), and I have to schedule a mammogram, get my cholesterol checked, get blood work done for my remicade, schedule my remicade, and squeeze in a CT scan of my sinuses. I've also been working, though not nearly as effectively as I'd like.
I'm not whining. I'm actually feeling quite well right now. I just get sort of startled when I realize how much work goes into making me feel quite well.

It is 17º here. High of 24º, low of 8º. Mmmm. Winter. I think I shall make some hot chocolate. I then have to plan for 8 bajillion hours because I inherited my own classroom (yay!) and it's the beginning of a new semester tomorrow (yay!) and that means I have lots of prep work to make this semester run more smoothly than last semester (boo!)
