    Yesterday was a lot harder than it had to be. When I left the house, I was feeling pretty good.   All of my homework was caught up.   I met the neighbor, which is odd cause I never meet the neighbors.   It was a gorgeous 80-degree day.  The road was beneath my feet.  I felt pretty Read more

  • Angels V. Ferrari

    Disclaimer: I haven’t watched Ford V Ferrari or Charlies Angles (2019) at this juncture. However, I’m going to give this analysis thing a stab.   Since I really know what’s on the surface, I’ll be able to just sally forth without, hopefully, getting too much off track.  Besides, second and third-hand knowledge seems to be perfect Read more

    I feel really bad for the cat, Sneezles. There’s been this plumber, Julio, here since about 9:30. He’s doing his job with the drills and banging and whatever to replace some pipes in the wall.    That’s all well and good, but he’s been doing so for two and a half hours.    I imagine Read more

    I’m going a little crazy today. Because of the rain, I didn’t leave the property yesterday.   Today, the cold front is passing by.   There’s still a chance of rain, but I’m going to head out here in a little bit.  I just can’t help it. I need a project to work on. Writing, what I Read more

    Got the first quote for a new roof. I think it sounds great. They’re going to add ventilation to the roof so the heater (northern term) or air handler) to you southerners) will get some air so it won’t sweat so much. In this house, sweaty air handler = air conditioner doesn’t work. That could Read more

  • Environmental hypocrites

    I’m just going to do some venting. I fully confess that I don’t know all of the facts and am just jumping to conclusions and connections without much research.   But, I think if someone really cares, it’s worth looking into. A lot of BS has been getting under my nails a little so, in no Read more

  • Returning to Florida – yet again

    Next Sunday, November 10th, I will be returning to Florida yet again for three months.   Well, four months.   I won’t be back on home soil until the last day of March.  Instead, I’ll have sand underneath my feet that don’t grow vegetables. But, at the same time, I’m certainly dodging the snow and temperatures dropping Read more

    The unexpected term from Hades ended yesterday. Thank goodness. I felt the students were trying to drain my very soul. There were just so many students at need.  By need, I mean “I’m special.”  “I can’t do this.” “I suck.” “Why can’t I do this my way.” Apparently, there was at least two pregnant, one Read more

  • quick update

    Life has been a bit more crazy than usual for the past couple of months. There’s been a time where I’ve just wanted to curl up and not move for days, but I press on. Kid sister has moved to Avon.    That’s about an hour plus away. Her new and first, as far as Read more

    …   I just want to say wow. My last post got hits from Australia, India, and the U.S. That is just awesome. You like me.   You really really like me. —  Cliche, yeah, but it helps bring some sort of validation to my life.   Thanks. Okay, moving on… I’ve had this mantra running through my Read more
