It’s like your birthday, it only comes once a year – thank God. And I, like most women, have an endless supply of bitching to do about this once-a-year ordeal. As I get older (and I am so getting older), my concerns about getting a mammogram aren’t so much about pain – the technology has…
I had to go to my HMO today. Big surprise – parking is a nightmare. Actually, even worse than ever because they are doing some kind of construction with half of the parking lot. But, they have people there to direct you to parking places. That was nice. And then the guy directing people to…
Yes. Cleaned. Our brown tabby Leo was on the back of my computer chair, and when I leaned back, he started licking my hair. And licking. And licking. And licking … It was so adorable. Right up until the moment I remembered he puked earlier this evening.
I was holding our brown tabby boy Leo. He was snuggled up in my sweater (he loves to get under), and purring. Then as he fell asleep, the purrs started to stutter. The further asleep he got, the more space between purrs, and the shorter the duration of the purr. And I realized, I was…

My fat old lady ass has been at half-mast for quite a while now; and it was getting really bad during and after this last heatwave. All I wanted to do was sleep. And I would fall asleep lying in bed and reading or sitting in front of my computer. And all that sleep…
Do not tell me global warming is not real or “questionable”. I have now lived in San Jose for over 20 years and summers never used to be this hot. You’d get a few days in a row of really hot weather a few times each summer and that would be it. Now it…
Every year, we get June bugs. Lots of them. It’s gross, but they stay on their side of the screen and we stay on our side. For some reason, this year we have July/August bugs; and somehow, one got through to the wrong side of the screen. Crafty little fucker. Our orange tabby…
