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…
The saga of my broken bed continues. Yesterday, I went to take the old bed frame apart and prepare for 2 weeks of snoozing on the floor and trying to get my fat old lady butt up from that level each morning. Not a pleasant image, I know. So I’m looking at this boo-boo bed…
Okay – actually I’m rough on the bed. As in our bed frame broke this morning. (Happily, no cats were injured in the collapse.) Fuck. I feel like I’m teetering on the edge of a bout of depression and this is really not what I needed in my life, you know. Well, time to…
You probably know that California is in the midst of a terrible drought and Texas is pretty much under water. What to do?

Here is the great mystery: How can a program that needs updating as much as Adobe Flash continue to perform so badly? WTF, y’all? Just fucking FIX IT!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooo tired of my FaceBook games doing a lock and crash because of Flash Shockwave. And if this program is soooooo…

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…
It’s my birthday. Holy crap. How did I get this old? This is the first birthday in I don’t know how long that I actually feel pretty okay about my birthday. Usually, I’d just as soon ignore the whole thing. But this year, I’m all, like, it’s my birthday dammit! No big plans.…
My darling hubby loves trees. They soothe him. And while the City of San Jose is not a cement jungle, it’s not a forest either. This is why our trip to Glacier, Washington was such a treat for him. Well, we now have a soothing place to go that is much much closer. Only an…
