I am sitting here bundled in my sweater, wearing long pants and socks on my feets; and I’m still a little bit chilly. It is that most wonderful time of the year here in Northern California. When the temps drop to the low 60s, and the rain has started. Ahhhhhhh. So it’s (mostly) too warm…
My day wasn’t going badly at all. It wasn’t especially wonderful, but it was definitely solidly in the okay column. Then within a few minutes my whole day went in the toilet. First, I went to stir the soup I had put on to simmer; and found that it had not simmered; it had burned…
What I think my chair dancing will be like! What my chair dancing actually looks like (and yes, that is me, about 20 or so years ago, in a crazy show called Bloodlines – PRETTY!) My healthcare consultant suggested that I check out “chair dancing” as a way for exercising. That’s chair dancing – not…
Every night, I tell myself, tonight I’ll get to bed at a reasonable time. Every night, suddenly, it’s midnight and I’m still at the computer. And that means, I still need to give Ollie his medicine and food for the night. I still need to give Leo his treats. I still need to clean the…
Newsflash – fat children existed in the 1960s. I just hate to be disappointed by one of my heroes. I recently found out that an artist whom I really admired was FaceBook friends with one of my friends. I sent the artist a friend request (with an explanation that she didn’t know me but I…
(Basically, this haircut, only red instead of blond) In April, I got my hair cut into a smart bob. Prior to that I had let it grow to the wad it up and pin it on top of your head length. And I haven’t had a haircut since April. As I have bitched before,…
Could someone please have a talk with your deity of choice about the weather here in San Jose? It’s just too flipping hot. I HATE hot weather. I’m not a huge fan of cold weather, but if you are cold, you can put something more on. When it’s hot, you can only take so much…
I keep wanting to blog. I keep getting ready to blog. And then …. I don’t. I don’t know why. I have stuff to blog about. I just can’t get my fingers to cooperate and type it out. So it’s not like writer’s block, but my fingers are writing blocking me. So I’m trying to…
Cousin Alice and this fat old lady! My birthday happened. It was a good day. I was so touched by all the greetings and good wishes by all of my friends and family. At my (advanced) age, birthdays are not really about receiving gifts. But my friends Storm and Kristopher got me a Kindle book…
Or at least, they saved my face! It’s morning, I have had a sip of coffee, but (obviously) not enough caffeine to get the morning dust bunnies out of my head. I lean over to pick up my sweater from the kitchen chair – and WHAM …. I jam my face (more particularly my left…
