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…

Maybe I should just say sleepy because of the bones.  Right now, I am dealing with some bone-on-bone action, which is not as hot as it sounds. The bone on bone action is taking place at the bottom of the lumbar region of my spine (causing my back and side muscles to spasm when they…

This is one of those things that could only happen to me. Or maybe, I’m just the only person without enough sense to keep it to myself. – but I have to tell someone – so why not tell everyone? (And, yes, this is how my brain works.) So, I’m at my computer and I pick…

So, of course, I watched all of Bridgerton.  I don’t love it as much as the first season – I mean, once you have the solid romance-novel plot – there are not a lot in the way of surprises.  But I still like it a lot.  If nothing else, the costumes (and wigs) are to…
