    Day ??? of feeling like crap weakly warmed over. But.. this day is a little different. This day comes with a couple of cold sores and a fairly numbed grading brain. —  I suppose fever sores would be more accurate.   Mom said I used to get them when I had a bad fever. I was… Read more

    Americans are funny people. I consider each and every one of us mutts. My German, English, Dutch, Scottish, Irish background qualifies me as a mutt. I’m okay with that. I know that there are some Americans who don’t have that type of heritable background, but that’s okay.   They’re mutts by association.  They may not know… Read more

    Something strange happened this morning. I fell. It wasn’t just a little fall either.  It had two parts. First, there was the pre-lack of coordination.  This is when I performed the morning ritual of bribing… not giving… bribing the cat with some 6am snacks as a way let Jason get another hour of sleep before… Read more

    Happy New Year’s Eve. Congratulations –  We’re under 24 hours away from putting up the 2019 calendar – somehow.   It’s been a pretty crazy year. Yeh, but it’s over. Let the new craziness begin! Yesterday was kind of a fruit loop. In the morning, the boy’s mother and step-dad stopped to visit. Apparently, the Sunday… Read more

    Happy Christmas Eve. The holidays are a confusing time. A lot of people feel that their personal worth is judged by the presents that they give.  Commercials emphasize this by putting impossibly big bows on cars and tiny bows on exceedingly expensive jewelry. Slogans don’t help either. If every kiss begins with K and it’s… Read more

    I passed through Macy’s last night while chasing down a Snover. (Yeah, yeah.   I play Pokemon Go.  So what?) Anyway, I saw these black sequin boots.  From toe tip to high heel to knees, they were nothing but plastic black sequins.   You know what I’m talking about, right?   It’s not beads, but flat plastic disks. … Read more

    It’s been a few days since I wrote. Hi. Can’t believe Christmas is almost here. That’s crazy.   It really is. I’m pretty much stuck here for the next couple of days.   When the weatherman says it’s going to be rainy and “miserable,” that’s a good time to stay inside… although I’d still rather go to… Read more

    Here I sit, like a twit – waiting on the air conditioner guy from the soon to be defunct Sears. I have no energy today. I did a lot yesterday.    There’s still a lot to do, just a slightly lesser amount.  I just don’t know what my deal is.    It’s practically noon and… Read more

    Well, today has been pretty much a bust. It hasn’t rained or snowed, although I’m sure it’s freezing out there. I’m half packed and spent most of the day napping. While lounging around the house is some people’s picture of a perfect day, I find it fairly madding.  I feel like I have to be… Read more
