  • 4/18

    I’ve been feeling pretty odd lately on several different fronts. It’s about time for me to return to Florida, as per Jason and my agreement from February.  I’m supposed to go down there for a couple of months and then both of us head back to Indiana in late July for Gencon and his vacation.… Read more

    I talked myself out of seeing a movie. I heard that US was a psychological horror flick with tones of anti-socialism and groupthink.  It’s a bit bloody, kind of funny, and would take many viewings to catch the entire meaning. I was going to watch it yesterday but sabotaged myself by staying too long at… Read more

  • Droopy D. Dog

    As you can imagine, my upbringing really didn’t have a lot of room for frivolities. But, I did have a dog. Actually, I had a dog before I had a baby brother, but the dog was really an accident. The neighbors were grandparents who had two grandchildren – Scotty and Beth.  They adopted two puppies,… Read more

    Wednesday –  Cold – like the high of the mid to low 30s.  That’s about zero degrees in Celsius.  Good times.

The Wednesday routine mammogram turned up something.  This something was so something that they called me back on Thursday for additional pictures. Neither I nor my doctors are sure what it is yet, but I have two theories. A: … Read more

  • How my day went (8/25)

    Last night wasn’t any different than the night before. I was awake about every two to two and a half hours.  I roamed the house sans glasses but with Croc sandals. I ate right around 6am. –   One Light and Fit Strawberry Cheesecake yogurt and a couple of non-fat Eggo waffles. It’s not exactly the… Read more

  • Calloused Hands

    I’ve been thinking about my dad a lot lately. Well, rather, I’ve been thinking about why I’ve been thinking about my dad. — I kind of blame Memorial Day. There’s just something about graveyards that reminds people of the dead.  Course, my dad was in the Army for a while too. I don’t think anyone… Read more

  • Sister Sibling

    I whine, fuss, and speculate. That’s all good and fun.  It’s what some people literally live for, rather they want to admit it or not. But… but.. but. but..  that’s not all there is to life, dash it all. There are some good perks.    Sometimes, happiness becomes lost in the #whateveritis, politics, and general everyday… Read more
