Cobalt
I am a woman living with three cats but that doesn't make me a crazy cat lady. It's all the other stuff I do that mark me as crazy. The cats are purely incidental.

Grey matter and other grey areas in Well now
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...
Between earth and sky in Lay me down
Azure, that was the color of the sky. Though I knew the very definition of the word azure was the blue color of the sky, I’d never actually used or thought the word before, certainly never felt ...
The things I do because I need the paycheck in Boystories
So Tommy was sitting in Biology class today. Apparently Tommy was just a tad bored by the anatomy lesson being presented. As the teacher was lecturing, I am fairly certain that classwork at tha...
Thievery, aggressive egocentricity, and other exciting concepts in Boystories
“What are you going to do about it?” she hissed in that self-righteous everyone-else-especially-you-is-so-wrong-sheous tone. Lord how tired I am of aggressive egocentrism and those who attack ...
About that car in Well now
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 in Well now
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 in Well now
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 in Well now
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...
A Bigger Boy Story in Boystories
It wasn't easy spending that kind of money on a gadget, but I made a number of nifty rationalizations and convinced myself, with the number of pedometers I've lost over the last couple years, I m...
Some Comfort Here in Well now
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 in Well now
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...
Experiment #530516 in Boystories
It's Friday afternoon. Time to leave this hall of concentrated adolescence drama and go home for a blissfully boyless week-end. I close down my computer, lock my door, and leave the building. ...
Awakening of another sort in Well now
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 ...
Liquidity in Lay me down
In sleep my mind is agile. It uses whatever it finds lying about the corners and goes to great lengths to weave together a mostly coherent tale that I often remember with amusement and sometimes...
The other county heard from in Well now
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 ...
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 in Well now
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 in Well now
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 in Well now
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...

"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 in Well now
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 in Well now
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 in Well now
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 in Well now
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 ...
Bina asked in Well now
"Did you manage toget your diary downloaded? If not, can I help at all?" - Bina To which I could only reply: ' No luck yet. The site is crashing every time I hit the download button, when ...
