Working through a really bad patch
Seven weeks since I broke my arm and things have been fairly bad. It wasn’t just the constant pain and the disability. It wasn’t just the house falling down around my ears or the amped up stres...
Shifting
Wasn’t sure for a while there but the balance is finally shifting a bit. I am no longer spending 100 percent of my time fixated on pain - how much I have, how long until the next pill, how little...
Counting down
Right now (19) I am - Writing this entry with one hand while I - Listen to a romantic comedy movie as I - Shovel the (18) occasional spoonful of cereal sloppily into my mouth (with my left hand...
Fairly miserable
One handed typing so there’ll be a lot of short choppy sentences. Oh well. The major damage is the broken arm. Both bones in the forearm. Luckily they’re not displaced so I’ll just need casti...
All questions answered in the affirmative
Out of shape? Trying to get better? Bicycle for sale? Test ride? Pot hole? Chubby middle-aged woman in spectacular somersault over the handle-bars? Face plant on concrete? Elbow to the pave...
Write now
Okay. I came here to write something. I didn’t really have anything to say, life’s kind of non-narrateable right now, but I thought, go to the page and something to write will come. Sometimes it ...
When you've got nothing to say...
Always remember, Two wrongs don’t make a right, But three lefts do.
Grey matter and other grey areas
Apropos of a conversation I had earlier today, I was thinking about the pineal gland. (Oh don’t ask why.) Just now I realized that, though I know it’s located in the brain, I have no earthly id...
About that car
It's just so damned cute.On top of that, it runs wonderfully well, no worries about an imminent breakdown riding constant passenger with me. That's such a lovely feeling. My just past car was a...
Say hello to my little friend
The name is Rosebud. (And before you assume, it's not a reference to Citizen Kane.) Rosebud is a 2010 Prius hybrid with 36k on it that used to belong to my father but is now mine, mine, all MIN...
Much achoo about nothing
I have a sneeze that offends cats. Hey, I've never had a dainty sneeze, but geez, Luce, you could be a bit more forgiving. I was sitting at my table in the study, working on organizing and purg...
Well that didn't take long
My annual health insurance packet came in the mail today. It's one of those things you sort of glance at and then file. Yes, I knew that the premiums were going up, a trend exacerbated by the f...
Some Comfort Here
I have developed such a need/hate relationship with sleep. I am desperately tired most of the time, but dread falling asleep because I actually do fear I'll die. You'd think I'm just being dram...
When all the tumult dies down
I have not made a very good go of transition. As with so much of my life, I find another foundation cracked and gone. I recover so badly, worse the older I become. I am a person alienated in s...
Awakening of another sort
It was well past midnight and I was dozing in my (still wonderful blue paisley!) recliner. It was one of the rudest awakenings imaginable. Eyes hardly open in the abruptness of being pulled up ...
The other county heard from
Just when you thought I'd discussed disgusting catcrimes in far more detail than anyone would ever care to read, I give you Caticide II. I had cleaned up yesterday's catastrophe as best I could ...
Caticide
If Lucy had done it she would be a dead cat already, but it was Tessa, I'm certain, and, well, I just can't bring myself to killing her - although... I came home from work and there it was, a hu...
Scattershot
Disjointed information. I find myself hardly able to complete a sentence lately, much less a coherent entry. Twelve hidden drafts in about as many days attest to the fact that I just can’t fini...
A Rather Tedious Entry
It has been asked by several, how's the back and how much longer will I be in the backbrace? Hmmm... The back is endlessly annoying. It aches constantly, something I was hoping it would learn t...
Technophile Wannabe with Luddite Tendencies
This is a test. In this test we shall see whether I am able to jump through the requisite hoops to post a picture on this site. The odds are never in my favour. Here goes the first, and I op...
Questions, Answers, and Questionable Methods
"That magic spray? What’s it called?" - gray tabby "Yes, pray tell the name…" - Marg "What is the name of this Blessing From God?" - bonnierose "But what happens you sit on the blue paisley c...
Much Ado About Upholstery, Cats, and Kryptonite
I type this with a semi-mangled hand, courtesy of the righteous fangs of my sweet little Lucyfer. One day I'll forget I love her, react to the sight and sensation of her fangs in my flesh, and f...
Entry Lite
It is a beautiful day today. Sunshine pouring down from the clear blue and the temperature outside is 60F. In this bipolar winter we have going on here, this is a wonderful respite. The next f...
Dilemma is me
Getting my journal off of the old site was an incredible pain. 178 months of writing and the site insisted on me pulling each month out one at a time, kicking me off as often as letting me succe...
Progress of sorts
Through frustratingly long hours of ridiculous effort, I've been able to download my journal entries from 1999 to 2004. I've been locked out and / or kicked off so many times I couldn't care to ...
