Paper noir
The kitchen floor, like all the floors save the bathroom in this wreck of a house, is a hardwood stained dark mahogany brown. Don’t let anyone tell you dark floors are easy to keep clean. They a...
'Lo to you too
I stepped on my electronic scale just a few minutes ago. “Lo” it said in little black letters. Now, I know it was telling me that its battery is on its last legs, but I ignore such warnings. For...
Tempest in a tuna wrap
The clock ticks away the minutes as I overwork diligently at my desk. It’s the same old story of too many tasks and not enough time to do them, but today I am strangely content. It is Friday m...

Proof that I am in need of a life
When there’s nothing you really want to watch, you try something completely different. So now I’m watching (Amazon Prime summary) Hong Kong Retro Cinema - The Haunted Cop Shop (English Subtitled)...
The ugly human
It matters not that they will knock over the garbage and play in the contents or that they will splash in the toilet or sleep with their faces inside my stinkiest shoes or greet each other with a...
Word from the unwise
When the label on the exceedingly cheap plasticware says “Not dishwasher safe” - Believe it. Your dishwasher will thank you. I need to store this in my brain for future reference. ‘Nuff said.
Etiquitte / Eticat
Very late Friday night. Sitting at my study table doing overwork I brought home to process and prepare to enter back into the school master program when I go back in to work tomorrow (Saturday!)...
How very sweet of you
Today was the last day of work until after the holidays. Huzzah! There were flurries of gifts being handed about. I don’t celebrate Christmas much but, being as it’s a school and I’m very visib...
Have need
Have runny nose. Have watery eyes. Have body aches. Have cough. Have pervasive yuck. Am alone. Need meds. Went to store in less than sharp shape. Needed meds and tissues. Wandered about store. Co...
War!
It’s a war of opposable thumbs versus the one-working-braincell-between-the-two-duo. For the last few days the kittens have been winning, striking major blows in their natural need to destroy a...
It may not kill, but curiosity sometimes bites
Esme, like most of her species, has an inborn aversion to water. Unfortunately, also true to her species, she is a slave to curiosity. Sometimes the combination of these two traits can get a si...
Concerning that comment
It was a private comment but it did make me think about what other people might make of my journal. Being what I’m thinking about tonight, that train of thought becomes my entry and most of my e...
I shouldn't be here now
I’m on a deadline. I should be working, working, working. I’ve got less than two weeks until my first craft fair, my first sales venue since Katrina, and I think I don’t have enough inventory o...
Eight feet, one working brain cell
The kittens are doing quite well, thank you very much. The plan was to get two kittens, rather than one, to fill the void left in Lucy’s life after Tessa passed. It seemed cruel to me to let Lucy...
Jai guru deva om
It’s a beautiful song. I’ve known it nearly all my life and it moves me in ways I can neither understand nor articulate. Yet every time I hear it, it stirs in me both these inexplicable emotion...
Sometimes it's better not to ask
There’s the old question about the glass. How you look at the glass, how you answer the question, is supposed to say a lot about you. I suppose that’s true. Some people say the glass is half empt...
Cryptic - An OldBoysStory
Nathe can be so exasperating. You never do know when he is telling you something true or lying for his own amusement. By this late stage in our siblinghood you would think I’d have a clue. Trut...
Guilty a bit but pleasures still
Apologies in advance. I have been wanting to write the second half of this entry but have been completely unable to go there until I wrote the first half. Totally ridiculous, of that I am aware,...
Things I don't do anymore
I don’t get up each morning and check the floors for accidents that need to be cleaned up right away. I don’t run a special wash load of old towel kitty pads every other day. I don’t set out supp...
Vacations are supposed to be relaxing, right?
I knew that I couldn’t go anywhere for my vacation this summer. The thousands of dollars I put on my credit cards to pay for the foundation work on the house guaranteed that. No vacation this s...
In whatever mode
I work on the arm, going to physical therapy twice a week, following a regime of prescribed exercises several times a day at home, wearing the brace at night. It is annoying, painful, and slow-g...
Layers
I’d like to say things have turned around this week and that I am feeling physically better and emotionally more hopeful. Well, I pretty much don’t get what I like lately, so you basically know ...
Smaller by slow degrees
It’s the giving up of things, the erosion of all those things gave you comfort, the inexorable diminishment of your life by slow degrees that is so hard to bear. I have had a knack for forgetting...
