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…

First. Aren’t you impressed that I said “stuff” instead of “shit”? I am mysteriously pleased and surprised. Packing up 25+ years of life is an adventure.  And I’ve just brushed the surface.  When I moved up here from Los Angeles, I had one U-Haul full of stuff.  I estimate that this was around 60 or…

So – the light goes out in our refrigerator. My dear husband tells me and I somehow conflate this with the idea that the refrigerator has stopped working. The freezer is clearly still working, but it seems to me that every time I open the refrigerator door it feels warmer inside.  Fuck. I mean, we’ll…

I am thrilled to say that I got through Sunday’s performance in SBMT’s concert Broadway in Love with my reputation intact.  All words were performed correctly – for the first time since we put down the sheet music, I might add.  All notes were sung correctly too. Whew. And it was a pure joy to…
