As promised, I am here to report on my fuck-uppery when it came to replacing my toilet seat. Yes, I did it myself. Yes, it was a fucking nightmare. I look at the current (broken) toilet seat (replete with duct tape); specifically, at the hinges on the back. To my utter dismay, there is no…
Why didn’t I think of this? We’re just home from our nice holiday trip to Los Angeles. I even write a blog extolling the joys of coming home. Last night, at about 11:30 p.m., I’m getting ready to go to bed and ….. The toilet breaks. Fuck. Now, this might not be such a…
Well, made it through Christmas. Actually, had quite a nice Christmas, despite coming down with a cold that day. Once again, we were down in Los Angeles, visiting my sister’s family. Nothing like kids to make your Christmas special – and EARLY. The youngest (now 14) can only contain himself until 6 A.M., at which…
(Best cat toy EVER) Ollie was sick for so long. He’s still thin, but the little shit is making it known that he is feeling just fine now, thank you very much. First, he started refusing his prednisone; even though it was mixed with his favorite of favorites – BUTTER. Second, Ollie has not felt…
For the past few years, I have not done anything at home for Christmas because we go down to Los Angeles and spend time with my sister and her three men (husband and 2 sons). I swore that this year I would put up my tree. Hasn’t happened yet. BUT I have been baking/making Christmas…
As I posted before, just before our planned trip to Glacier, Washington, I took my car in for a going over since we would be far from home and it was a long drive there and back. I had one issue – there was a little rattle in my engine – now and then. Other…
(Looks like the roads have gotten any better since we were through there on 11/26.) We were up near the Washington/Canadian border the week of Thanksgiving. There is a timeshare place up there that we really like, and we enjoyed a very relaxing week up there. Well worth the 2 day trip to get there. We…
Lucky supermarket almost had a fat old lady down in the dairy department today. Holy crap. For the first time, I had an attack with low blood sugar. Not fun. I absolutely thought I was going to black out. My hands were red and shaking – a lot. I was in a cold sweat. And…
As soon as the holidays are over, I am finding, signing up for and taking a class in CPR and possibly other first aid. Today, I was at our local Home Depot and one of the cashiers collapsed. I don’t know what happened to her – she was behind me when it happened. I turned…
(Sad car is sad.) I got Troubles, my friend, with a capital T – that stands for Toyota. If I believed in God, I would certainly be accusing such deity of fucking with me – yet again. Remember last February, when we were going to head up to Snowater, Washington (about ½ way up Mt.…
