Just finished watching the most recent season of Umbrella Academy. Such a good show. Lots of new characters this season; and to really understand it, you should watch the previous seasons because lots of callbacks and the storyline is difficult enough to follow even if you are up-to-date. And this is the season starring Elliot…
I still don’t know where our belongings are. It is quite likely that they are sitting in a warehouse in California. Yes. Still. Needless to say, I am less than happy with our moving company – American Van Lines. I am making daily calls to them and being assured that someone will get back to…
Okay, I have not had a yard (and therefore the necessity of yardwork) for about 45 years. Renting in Los Angeles, and living in a cluster home where the HOA takes care of all of the yardwork does that to a person. So, here I am, in Michigan, with an objectively humungous lawn, and appurtenant…
Cindy (or as we were introduced to her, Cynthia – and she definitely had the air of a Cynthia) was the owner of our new home. So Cindy left us her microwave. (Fair enough, because of this, we left our old microwave in San Jose). There is no mystery as to why Cindy decided to…
Our fat brown tabby Berta has a new favorite. Coffee. Is it okay for cats to drink coffee? Guess, I should look into that. I’ll be right back … The short answer is no, cats can’t safely drink coffee. In fact, if a cat drinks coffee or ingests coffee beans or grounds, it can lead…
I know that I have been missing in action – yet again. We were a little busy. Packing up 26 years of life and then driving across country with two cats. So, sorry (not sorry) but my blog was not my number one priority. But my fat old lady ass is now firmly ensconced on…
Did you even know this was a thing? I didn’t. And I have it. I have always had a “potty mouth” but never one that actually tastes like it. Until now. As I have posted, I have the little “c” (Covid-19). My third day of having symptoms and I was really, really sick. Not put…
I cannot do anything without it being a fucking adventure. Why is that? Have I piled up that much bad karma in my oh so long life? Whatever. Last year, it was the Big C. Today I tested positive for the Little C. Six days before we are supposed to pack up our lives and…
Watched the finale of Saturday Night Live’s season and it was wonderful, and kind of heartbreaking. Leaving the cast are Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney and Kate McKinnon! I mean, okay, Kyle Mooney – I like him okay but he is not exactly a lynchpin of the group. The other three, however. Yikes. I…
OMG. How I miss my “youth”. I am so exhausted, mentally and physically. This youth that I am missing dates back to May 6, 2022. Since then, I know I have been MIA. The action included flying to Michigan, house hunting, buying a house, some socializing with family (as time permitted between house hunting and…
I am a bad wife. My dear husband had a birthday and I did almost nothing to celebrate his gracing this world for another trip around the sun. I felt like shit about it. I still feel like shit about it. And you want to know the worst? I know he totally understands. FUCK. Usually,…
Two days in a row, I have cooked. I cooked two very tasty casseroles, if I do say so myself; and both times, I was showing that I am clearly my mother’s daughter – because I dirtied so many dishes – both times. Was it worth it? I don’t know. But we now have leftovers/lunch…
Okay. I just sent my proposed (independent contractor) word processing agreement to my current employer. I have worked for them (except for a 3 month break) for the last 26 years. It will be the first time I have been without a “regular” employer since I turned 18. To say I’m feeling a little freaked…
My wonderful doctor has finally found a muscle relaxant that I’m not allergic to. Yay. One of the side effects is drowsiness. Okay. What they didn’t tell me was that they weren’t fucking kidding about the drowsiness. A couple hours or so after I take it, I become severely sleepy. I mean, I can fall…
It’s back! OMG, I love this show; and Season 2 is weirder than Season 1 – which one might think could not be possible. While all the acting is stellar, I cannot get enough of Natasha Lyonne and her whiskey gravel voice. And shame on NetFlix for making smoking seem cool. And that fabulous red…
Thoughts from a Fat Old Lady
