… it started out a pretty day and then a storm blew up and the pretty arbor I’d decorated with silk flowers blew over. Thanks, Hazel for putting it back up.
…. the upstairs bathroom pipes broke and all the water came through the kitchen ceiling. Thanks, PD, for fixing that.
… the Justice of the Peace [...]

Funerals are never fun. I was dreading this one more than usual.
Imagine The Nicest Man you ever met in your life. He’s soft spoken and never, ever utters a harsh word to anyone. He preaches at a Baptist Church on Sunday. He reads his Bible before work every morning. He [...]

When I first met PD, he was way into martial arts, self-defense and all that. He always stressed to me how important it is to be aware of your surroundings at all times. To make mental notes of exit doors, dark areas where bad people could be lurking, alternate “escape” routes, things like that. He [...]

I’m so excited. Last night was the first time this year that I was able to go to sleep with the windows open and oh my goodness, I love that so much! I woke up with the early morning sun shining in my face, the birds singing and the sweet smells of freshly [...]

This is a quick one, being that I need to go back to work today after a great 3-day weekend.
So that phone call to the insurance company? Was a breeze! Amazing huh? No menu to wait through, just a minute-long “wait for the next available representative” and then “Mark” came on (I’m [...]

Some of my angst is a result of conflicting emotions. That’s nothing new for me, I can remember feeling “torn” for most of my life. One of the reasons I have such a hard time making decisions is that because most of the time I can see both sides of every issue. [...]

Dear Somebody,
Evidently you have admired the beautiful Christmas tree that we proudly display this time of year in our front yard for passersby to enjoy. It’s a lovely white tree, about six feet tall adorned with tiny twinkle lights in the most beautiful shade of blue. It’s not a vivid blue but a [...]

I got the second parking ticket of my entire life last week. The pissy part of it was that I actually had put money in the meter. It ran out. I guess a dime doesn’t get what it used to. We so rarely park anywhere these days where there are actually parking meters. One day [...]

I very nearly did this one day a few weeks back. So when I did it today, the first thought that came to me was, you had your warning and you blew it…
I finished up all the laundry last night so I wouldn’t have to worry aboot what was clean and what wasn’t when I [...]

[PD and I performing outdoor chores and general yard maintenance, happily. At first.]
PD: That doesn’t make much sense, one glove on and one off.
Me: Why must you criticize every little thing I do?
PD: You’re talking out your ass…
Me: Grrrrr.
I continue pulling dead stalks out from the hydrangea bushes.
PD: Why don’t you get the loppers?
Me, much [...]

I did it again.
There was another storm last night. This one was windier and there was more lightning. This time I did it with only one cigarette and no beer. And I got wet this time. It was fabulous.
And I will do it again the next chance I get. And if I still don’t get fried, [...]

I guess today was National Walk at Lunchtime Day or some damn thing, sponsored by the company that carries our health insurance at work. So aboot 150 of us gathered in the front parking lot and walked for 20 minutes (2 laps around the building) and then enjoyed a nice bag lunch supplied by the company. [...]
