Where the hell have I been?!

‘Tis a question TO be asked! I don’t even remember when I last wrote, or what I wrote about, and I can’t be arsed to go back and look. I only have time to write! Not to read what I wrote before!...

A Very Short Fuse.

I used to be Ms. Nice Girl. I thought a lot of nasty thoughts but did not say them because I reeeeeeeally didn’t like confrontation, especially at work. Now I am almost sixty and I have a very s...


I tell you. My job as a lunch lady is a damn KILLER. I thank all the gods that be, that this was a four day week, because if I had to drag my poor tired ass in there again tomorrow, I!! WOULD!! ...


First thing on my mind....a good FB friend of mine, with whom I went to high school, is in the hurricane-hit part of Texas. She and her family elected to stay put instead of evacuating. As soon ...


The title was what I said about the eclipse here in Delaware on Monday. Gosh, even though we only got 80%, I thought it would get darker. I’ve seen darker cloudy days!! I know it was an awesome e...

Got over it. ;o)

Sooooo, my niece has put me on top of her Shit List again, because I made a comment she didn’t like on FB. Mind you, the comment wasn’t about her; it was about Mount Rushmore and how that mounta...


Yesterday morning I got my epidural injection. Wow, it was like they were all lined up waiting for me, I was taken care of so quickly! I was just signing in on the sheet at the window when the s...

True Confessions Time!

My first true confession is that yes, I worry about money. Joe always has told me that I don’t need to. And we’ve never been in financial trouble, so I guess he’s always been right. But still......

Another New Start!

Three or four entries back, I wrote something that caused a couple of my long-time friends to think I wanted to have snailmail penpals. I actually think that, although I didn’t THINK I meant tha...

Where HAVE I Been?!

I haven’t written in days. It seems like many days! So I’d better get on the ball here! Sad to say (though I’m not really sad about it), much of my time and attention have been devoted to getting...

Two Pennies Please!

Man oh man! For the last couple or three paydays, it’s been so tight that it seemed like I couldn’t even get ahold of two pennies to rub together! That would not have been the case had we not mad...

It was Bullpoop. :o(

Well, our weekend away turned out to be only half a weekend. Saturday was GREAT though. But then evening came, and I went to bed, and The Sciatic Beast awakened! I hurt so extremely bad that I w...

Off the handle!

In an hour or so, Joe and I will be dropping Guinness off at the boarding place and heading upstate to attend a weekend-long intensive workshop taught by Christopher Penczak, a well-known esoteri...

Back on my upswing!

Ever since I wrote my depressing little entry about how depressing I find taking lots of pills to be, I have been feeling very much more chipper! Mind you, I’m still taking lots of tylenol, but t...


July 24, 2017

Just kinda depressing...

Soooo, I still have three weeks to go until my next epidural pain block. And I am really taking a fuckin’ lot of pills. Extra-strength tylenol and/or aspirin for back and body pain. I have pre...

TWO in one summer! woot!

I have broken my several-years-long reading fast! Yaaaaaaay!!!!!!! I just finished my second book of the summer. I’m not in competition with anyone but myself, and that is a lot more than I’ve m...

Grumpety.

Okay, sooooo, I am a bit grouchy today but I don’t really care. I am frickin’ sore, and pissed about it. I can’t really say that I’m pissed at the doctor or his receptioniest for not being able...


I started writing an entry this morning telling ya’all how I shouldn’t have gone to the workshop I attended on Saturday, because the six hours on my ass in the car PLUS the six hours on my ass in...

The Challenge is on!

So in my last entry I wrote about how I found out that I can’t get my next spinal injection for another month. Some of my friends here were livid on my behalf, and I appreciate that. The next mo...

Just Call Me Sore-Ass.

So, yeeeaaaa..... my sciatica is pretty damn pissed off at me this weekend. I am definitely....yes, DEFINITELY.... going to call Dr. Sutherland (my pain management dr.) on Monday to schedule an i...

Still Friends! Yaaaaay!

In my last entry I wrote about how my sister Carol and I had had words, and I had blabbed something that was very true, but that she did not want to hear. Years ago, I would have run and just ke...


Today I am going to write about flowers and sisters. Flowers, meaning the ones I just bought and planted. Sisters, meaning sister.....my sister Carol, who can be very sweet or very NOT. Did I tel...

Bringing Happy.

Our chocolate Lab, Guinness, is my best buddy. I never thought I would love and feel for an animal the way I’ve come to love and feel for him. When I was growing up, my Dad did not want pets in...

Ups! Downs! But it's ok!

I had an appointment with my orthopedist, Dr. Barrish, this morning. I just wanted to check in with him! I hadn’t seen him in about ten months, because there wasn’t really any need, with me goi...

Cold Water! :o)

I got into our pool (nothin’ fancy, just one of those blue ones) yesterday evening for the first time this season. I had been prepared to just about freeze my ass off, but ya know what? It didn’...
