(CAUTION: Major Venting Ahead)
I have been so ridiculously busy, preoccupied and stressed lately and I’m feeling that I’ve neglected my poor blog. I’ve had so much to write and it’s all been swirling around in my head and, much to my chagrin, lots of it has either gotten forgotten or grown into something that now [...]

I’m trying to take it kind of easy this weekend, dreading gearing up for working 4 ten-hour days this week. You might not see that as a major feat yourself, but for moi, getting up at 4:30 in the morning is something akin to having major dental work or trying to get a trial [...]

Having traveled to NY to see the kids this past weekend, there are a few things I’ve noticed and feel compelled to share with y’all. Some are personal, some are universal. Any offenses are purely coincidental and (of course) not intentional.
People who drive Dodges are the slowest drivers in the world. No. [...]

Enjoying my Sunday morning with coffee and myself. Waiting for the sun to come out because dammit, I need sunshine.
Last night I was attempting to go on my Healthcare site and regrettably, was too freakin lazy stubborn to look up my username/password which I couldn’t remember because I so frequently (not) visit my Healthcare [...]

Since I am not privileged enough to run with the Big Dogs over at the Peevery, I’m going to post my own miniature version of a Peeve here.
It has come to my attention that Disney has a new cartoon called The Replacements. If you know me well, you know that my very favorite band is [...]

Each weekday I awaken at (somewhere between 5:15 and) 5:30 am. I spend approximately one hour making myself presentable to leave the house and spend 8 hours at my job and then drive home for 15 minutes. So essentially, from the time I go to bed each night… which fluctuates between 10 and [...]

My poor mom called me when I got home from work today to ask if she’d left a shopping bag in my car. Seems one of her purchases was missing but showed up on her receipt from the store where I’d dropped her off while I returned PD’s movies.
I checked my backseat and trunk [...]

Today was not such a good day. My workday consisted of performing an 8-hour series of mindless tasks. Which afforded me 8 hours of thinking time. Ordinarily I might welcome that kind of day but today, not so much. I’m not sure whether to blame it on the cold meds I’m [...]

If you notice my “recent comments” there to the right, and if you would see my comments page on my WordPress dashboard you might think that Askimet is doing a pretty shitty job. That’s what I’m thinkin’. Either that or Santa thinks I’ve been a very bad girl and has decided to give me spam [...]

I’m not finding much time to write here or do much visiting with you. We’re trying to get the kitchen presentable for Christmas, shoveling snow, that kind of stuff. I’m not getting much crossed of the To Do list, so why am I falling into bed at night and out by the time [...]

I had lots of things, nice things to talk about but since I need a little venting, I’m going to get that out of the way. I can’t concentrate on “nice” things until I do. If you’re not in the mood for whining and complaining, simply move on. Or stay here and [...]

Pisceans always swim in two directions at once. Does that explain anything about me? Just a little infobit that might provide insight on Why I Have Two Subjects Going On At One Time. And I can’t address them both so I’ll just deal with one for now.
In the previous post we were [...]

Crazy week I’m having here, thanks for askin’.
Therapy progress was looking grim until this morning when I woke up and felt like a human being. I’m feeling more hopeful. My ultrasonic and hands-on massage yesterday was accompanied by a quite informative half-hour long oration about the history of the states of Mississippi and [...]

One of my favorite pastimes used to be Blog Surfing. I don’t know if that’s an actual name for an actual activity but that’s what I call it. Once in awhile, after reading my regular reads, if I had time, I’d scoot my mouse up to the top of the screen and click [...]

I just noticed the better part of my blogroll is missing. Yay, I had nothing better to do today than piss around with my blog. Sneer, sneer.
I had three categories under the heading of Blogroll, those being Business, Playtime and of course, the blogs I read. So now I see everything but the Business portion [...]

Of all the trials and tribulations of navigating the Internet I’ve experienced, this new thing has to be one of the most annoying. There is a tv station or something coming through on my speakers. This has been happening intermittently for a little over a week. It’s not all the time but [...]

Here’s the Thing…
Last weekend on our way home from the family reunion, PD and I stopped for dinner at one of our favorite little places in a town called Punxsutawney. While we were dining, I felt a little spell of mild anxiety coming on. (something not entirely unusual for me after a few nights [...]

It’s a pretty morning, not yet unbearably hot. Had the required coffee on the porch with the birds and my out-of-control wild flowers. Happy to find some quiet Think Time. Sorted out some issues; what I do and don’t have control over. What I can change and what I can’t. Sadly found that the list [...]

I’m going to blame my state of mind of late on the medication I’m taking. There is no other explanation for my behavior recently. Or rather, I should say, the way I’ve been feeling. I can’t say the least little thing sets me off, it takes a wee bit more than that, [...]

WARNING: One Wink is cranky today. She’s been not-quite herself for a couple of days and really shouldn’t be here ranting on all you good people. But she’s feeling negligent and disinterested in blogging and thinks maybe letting her frustrations out will be good therapy and at least will be able to [...]

I would like to address more of what I wrote of yesterday, and I may at a future date but I’m irritated that I’ve not had the questions I asked, flat out, answered. I thought they were legitimate questions. Now I see that they are just the kinds of questions I ask over and over [...]

… is how I’ve been feeling. I can’t seem to focus on anything. I’m leaning toward blaming it on the medication I’m on for this “female annoyance.” Two more months of this hormone-induced madness seems like more than I’m wanting to endure. Just. Can’t. Imagine…
It’s fucking ridiculous hard to endure hot flashes in the midst [...]

What a week this has been. I can’t say I’m not happy for the weekend. After everything else, we had a bitch of a storm on Thursday afternoon. PD was visiting his parents when the storm came up and I was at work so there was no one here to close windows. Consequently, when I [...]

If you are reading this, I’m sorry for you. Like me, you are missing Bonnaroo. That is just wrong. We should be there. The only thing I can do for you is to provide this link. I spent almost two hours digging around on the site, listening to music and reading about the bands there [...]

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?

If for some reason the picture isn’t visible, it’s Edvard Munch’s The Scream, which is a pretty accurate depiction of the state I found myself occupying most of the day yesterday (Friday). A friend attributed it to a caffeine-induced state of edginess. Which is entirely possible, yet I’m choosing to blame it on other people [...]

Why in the name of God is the media airing Britney Spears’ goofy-ass rant on a day of sadness and tragedy? As if the heinous murder of 32 innocent college students at Virgina Tech by a madman isn’t enough to leave us all shaking our heads and in our shoes. There is only one less crazy [...]

Dear Lady in the Blue Hyundai Elantra* ;
Please alert me the next time you will be on the road leading to my place of employment between 6:30am and 7am. It could save your life. And my sanity.
For future notice, please note:
A mere smattering of raindrops hardly merits driving at speeds normally reserved for hazardous weather conditions.
