Here’s to hobbling a shorter distance

Because of all the foot trouble I’ve had lately, I actually was able to get a handicap parking thingy. It’s only temporary.  It lasts for 6 months. Still, any help is better than none. The irony, I’ve found, is that sometimes the handicap spots are actually further away than some others. Acggh.

Being the only person on the planet means all the chocolate is mine! Bwahaha!

This evening I went to see a movie. I went all by myself, and I ended up being the only one in the theater. There were other people in the other rooms watching other movies, I guess, but I was the only one watching the one I’d picked. Plus, since mine was apparently the longest [...]

I’m still here! Really! Well, except for my thumbnail.

First of all, hi, everyone. Long time no post. Sorry about that. Second of all, OUCH! I ripped half my thumbnail off while putting on my coat this morning. Yeah, I dunno how it happened. Clearly I have the secret evil black leather coat of death. Thirdly, it is currently so cold that my liver [...]

Me, rambling on about low blood sugar and stuff

Today I learned that I’m becoming more and more like my mother. This isn’t always a bad thing. It was today, though. She has problems with low blood sugar, and sometimes if she doesn’t eat often enough, she can shake and become dizzy. I even saw her pass out from it once. Today I guess [...]

Please stay on the line… your call is important to us… your call will be answered as soon as we finish our donuts

Today I had to spend F-O-R-E-V-E-R on hold, waiting for tech support. I was having a problem connecting and sending e-mail (I could receive e-mail but couldn’t send). Between last night and this morning, I had to call three times before it all got fixed. Twenty years ago, I knew nothing about computers. I hated [...]

Number three will probably happen first

When I was young I loved winter. I hated summer. Now that I’m getting disturbingly old, I hate winter. I actually look forward to summer. This makes no sense, does it? I’ve become the opposite of my former self. If this is true, here are some other changes I can soon expect: 1. I will [...]

I bet the Grinch loves ice cream too

It’s the night before Christmas and…. And I don’t celebrate Christmas, so it’s just another night for me. The problem is that I’m craving ice cream. And of course every place is closed for the holiday right now. No ice cream! (*whimper*) When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but… No, wait. Never mind. [...]

Wearing black for no discernible reason

I am wearing all black today. I can’t decide whether I feel Amish, or I’m in mourning, or desperately trying to pretend to be elegant. I suppose it could be all three, if I wanted it badly enough. I could never be Amish. Sometimes we just need electricity in our lives, when we need to [...]

Doing My Best

Last week I was reminded that some people in the world are not very nice. I wish we lived in a non-judgmental world ruled by common courtesy, but alas. I can’t change the world, but I did attempt to make it a nicer place. Today while going into the store, I held the door open [...]

Music speaks louder than anything else.

When Kurt Cobain committed suicide back in 1994, Courtney Love gave his guitar to the members of R.E.M, since he was friends with the members of that group. Also, it’s presumed that R.E.M. was the last music he listened to before he died. When his body was found, his stereo was on, and R.E.M. was [...]
