Blah, Blessings, and BS in Packrat

Dancing Queen in Packrat
The pow wow grounds are quiet now. The tents are down. The food and arts and crafts booths are gone. The speakers’ stand, elders’ arbor, and bleachers are empty; no chairs ring the arena; no drum...
But I’m not talking about those in the sky. The court documents full of the worthless waste of humanity’s lies came today. The horrible excuse for a human being asked for an EPO against my mother...

What's Going On in Packrat
I have a touch of the blues. I get so tired even though I work only half the day; when I put in a couple of six hour days they didn’t tire me so much. Yesterday I slept as soon as I got in from w...
On one hand I feel I haven’t been away at all and on the other I have to reacquaint myself with my computer and its workings and the realization that currently I’m limited in movement. I can walk...
Alive and (almost) Kicking in Packrat
