This is one of my favorite and most comforting sayings. No matter how shitty things are, it won’t last. Time keeps marching on. Someday, you’ll look in your rearview mirror and see this receding in the distance (and for me, at least, receding from my memory – because, well, we all know about my fat…
Getting a Head. Yup, that’s what I just read. And it’s exactly the pun you think it is. Despite the bad pun title, the book wasn’t half bad; despite having a very unlikable lead character – who can see and talk with ghosts and has a vampire roommate. While the ghost part was a big…
Our orange tabby, Murphy, likes to lick the hair off of his belly (and now his inner back legs). I don’t mean the hair is a little thinner there – I’m talking bare as a baby’s butt hairless. I asked the vet about it and she didn’t have a diagnosis because many things can cause…
Don’t believe me? Try me. This afternoon, I lost it. I was beyond furious. You know those documents that had to be done last Thursday? And then I found out, no they’d be filed Monday morning? Guess what showed up for me to work on at 3 p.m. today? Did you guess? They needed to…
Had a total brain fart this past weekend. A friend was having a Halloween party! Yay! Well, yay, except my social anxiety raised its ugly head. I hate to say it, but I seem to be losing the battle against this particular problem. I promised myself at the beginning of the year, I would make…

THE CIGARETTE COMPANIES ALREADY TRIED IT!!!! Shame on Weight Watchers®. Shame on you Oprah. Society has finally started to catch wise to the fact that dieting doesn’t work for the vast majority of people. Weight Watchers, itself, revealed in an internal memo that it relies on repeat customers for a large part of its revenue. …
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…
