"Slowly dying of survival."
The full moon is looking awesome tonight. I bought a huge 24.5 fl. oz. bottle of Kroger brand cocoa butter lotion. I’ve been liberally slathering it on after the pool time and shower. I still hav...
Titanic isn't sinking?
Okay, so the ship isn’t sinking. Too bad for the folks who jumped to another ship or who are clinging to lifeboats. I was just hanging out on the railing observing the panic and chaos. I had no ...
This is the end, beautiful friends!
Well hell. Another one bites the dust. I really thought Simple Mind could make a profitable go of it. I’m not going back to OD even though I have a lifetime membership. That’d be like a landlord...
A productive day?
Coffee and reading this morning. No breakfast. no lunch. The wind had died down a bit so I headed to the pool. Listened to NPR while I was there. Got home and laid down to listen to more NPR. Mom...
Compensation?
This morning I finished reading “It’s Even Worse Than You Think” by David Cay Johnston. I’d watched a few of his book tour talks on youtube and decided to read the book. Nothing really new, that ...
Congruency.
Yesterday I finally pulled the third to the last tooth. It had been wobbling around for a couple of weeks, long enough for me to forget why my tongue was always tired, from bothering with it. I j...
Purple Biscuit?
I finished reading “Survival” by Ben Bova which is the fourth book in the Star Quest series. I don’t know if there will be more but there could be. He’s definitely set the stage for an infinite n...
Another pointless entry.
I made it to the pool for a couple of hours in the afternoon the last couple of days. Mom and I went to Walmart today. I followed her around while she shopped. Then we went to Village Inn for lu...
Pointless entry?
After coffee and reading this morning I had to make a return trip to the grocery store. I needed egg noodles for a recipe and Mom needed donuts for a street breakfast tomorrow morning. And of cou...
Errands.
62 degrees in here at 8am this morning after having the window open all night. Coffee and reading this morning. I made a round of errands all by myself. The bank, Walgreens, the library, the gro...
Living vicariously.
So, I woke up this morning and grabbed the clock . . . 7:54. Okay. I got dressed, made my bed (military indoctrination), and went in the house to put on the coffee. Mom said, “Why are you up earl...
Road trip?
The Ben Bova books are a series called “Star Quest” this fourth one was published in 2017. I started it this morning with coffee. Mom and I headed out at 10am. We went on a quest for Sunday brunc...
Or not.
I finished reading “Apes and Angels” by Ben Bova today. That is the third book in the series. I don’t know if series is the right word. All the books could stand alone, if need be, but still foll...
Why not?
I know I wrote an entry on the 4th. Yesterday I did not. I’m not sure what I did yesterday. But today, after coffee and reading I made a quick trip to the grocery store for a gallon of milk. I th...
Not really.
Not really sure the point of writing another entry so soon after the last, but hey I ain’t got much else to do. This morning it was coffee and starting the third Ben Bova book of the series. This...
"Mixed weight couples"?
An article I stumbled onto on huffpost was titled- “10 things to never ask a mixed weight couple”. What. The. Fuck. Yeah, I read it. Who’s not tempted to? Apparently, morbidly obese women who’ve ...
Mission accomplished.
Okay. Got it done. After coffee this morning I headed over to the insurance office. The new homeowner’s policy was ready for me to sign. Final numbers: car insurance was $1270 annually, now $452...
A little manic?
Well, things had to be done which meant I had to put down the book and get out of this chair. I didn’t want to, but needed to. The insurance was due on the car the current bill was for $1270 for ...
Debate won?
I could say I’ve won the debate. The debate? Yeah, the dorm debate of the late seventies titled basically in various renditions- “Disco or Rock N’ Roll Forever?” I stumbled upon this while stumb...
No opinion.
February 12- I just didn’t have a reason not to so I was up and out the door by 6am this morning. I was wearing my hiking socks for the second time during the last nine plus months and I put on t...
Gray Man fail.
I went to the hospital today and sat for a bit, helping Mom with her lunch. I talked to the nurse for a bit. I left and came home to listen to NPR. I was pretty much stuck to the landline. Mom ca...
Waiting, again.
One, two, three more days of the same routine. Coffee, reading, and lying by the pool. Today was different. I went in the house at my usual 8am-ish to put on the coffee. Mom is sometimes already ...
Just like every day.
I didn’t really notice the date yesterday. It was the 38th anniversary of my first marriage. The first practice one, on Groundhog Day. The second one was on April Fool’s Day. Oh, and I forgot to ...
Some nuggets.
We’ll call today a normal day. Coffee. Some reading. Lying by the pool listening to NPR. Yeah, something like that. Some nuggets from the airwaves: January 2018 was the third warmest on record fo...
Granny Nanny?
Calm. Calm routine. Calm weather. After coffee and more of the biography reading this morning I went once again to Walgreen’s for more cough syrup for Mom. I keep telling her she needs to get rid...
