Go ahead. Say it. I know you want to. You know you want to. Let’s hear it. All together now: I TOLD YOU SO!!!! Yup, I should have done something about my fucking back when I first posted and you all told me get thee to the doctors. But, nooooooooooooooo, I figured it’d start getting…
As you may (or may not) know, I work from home as a legal word processor. My background is going on over 40 years of experience as a legal secretary/paralegal; and I can type fast – but word processing lets me work from home. So I have an attorney send me a document for State…
Last night, I had the fortuitous opportunity to witness something I don’t believe I have ever seen before. Murphy has had the sneezes lately. (I think he has a little cold – no eye or nose discharge – just a few sneezes and sleeping more than usual.) I was going to bed, and Murphy jumped…
We’ve had Murphy, our orange tabby for a few years now. He is as sweet now as the day we adopted him from Town Cats. We got him after our dear Oliver (big fluffy gray scaredy cat) passed away because Leo was clearly missing having someone to play with. I had decided I really wanted…
The older I get (and I hope to continue on the current trend), the more I understand why old people (like me) often eschew travel. What is left of life is too fucking short to deal with all the hassles of getting ready to go, going, coming back, and dealing with the aftermath. We are…
I have a saying when I see someone do something particularly stupid and dangerous – You are going to end up as a sad, sad story in the Merc. The “Merc” is our local newspaper, The Mercury News, (yes, thankfully, we still have one – although it has been downsized a lot) and the Local…
I have a burning question. WTF do guys do to their underwear that makes it get so raggedy so fucking fast? As I do laundry, I swear I can watch my husband’s undies deteriorate before my eyes. Especially the waistband. WTF? The rest of the male underwear seems to detach from the waistband with alarming…
First, cat puke happens. I know that. I accept that as part of being a cat owner. And for some reason, our cat Leo seems to take great joy in puking in the worst possible spot. Either where he can expect one of us to step (preferably with bare feet) or on the bed. I…
Outside of politics, and I’m not going there. I may not have a fuck to give (flying or otherwise); but I also have no WTFs going on in my life! Rehearsals for A New Brain are wonderful. The attorneys are stupid-busy, but it’s the pre-holiday push (and then there will be the post-holiday push) because…
As you may know, I have spent most of my working life working with attorneys as a legal secretary and paralegal. Currently, I work (from home) as a legal word processor. I pretty much love my work, especially my current work. I get to type up stuff and make it pretty. Then it goes away…
