Workspaces & Tentacle Sex
Since my surgery at the end of May, I have had to accommodate my recovery, while still getting my work done. The whole thing has made me feel old and decrepit. Our bedroom is now in the living room because … Continue reading →
I’m Mercury’s Bitch
Last night, I spent three solid hours just trying to play a game to relax. But the game wouldn’t download. then it would download but wouldn’t work. Then my screen would jiggle and shake and look like nuclear radiation was … Continue reading →
Goodies, Captured Critters & Politics
Sort of a quick diary entry of our day, with our usual adventures with photography. Allergy shot today (only 28 more to go. LOL) Afterward, we had a joyful visit to Barnes & Noble (a rare treat these days) and … Continue reading →
Inflatable Travel Companion
Most of my adult life, I’ve wanted a full-sized female mannequin posted in my foyer. Not just for comedic value. For practicality. I’m very utilitarian. I figured I could use her to hold the stuff I need by the door. … Continue reading →
Nom Nom Nom de Plume
How delicious. To be someone else. To reinvent oneself. I’m not talking about who you are at your core, but about characteristics that might not be serving you anymore. I’ve done it several times over, and not only with names. … Continue reading →
Operation Homostead & Dooflingywhatsit

Okay this might not interest anyone but us, but we were trying to take a nap and noticed ‪#‎weirdness‬ on the ceiling…a strange, undulating reflection that looked like a miniature lightning storm in a teeny cloud. After a bit, Noodle … Continue reading →
Full-Contact Leaf-Blowing
Sore today. Took a fall while leaf-blowing on the back patio yesterday. My foot slid out of my nurse’s clog, (yes I know, not outside yard-working shoes, but hey, they’re insanely comfortable) and I bent my ankle over, then fell, … Continue reading →
Being a Delicate Organism
Highly Sensitive People are, as the moniker suggests, acutely aware of stimuli. Which is one reason I prefer the designation of Highly Aware Person. HAP. I’m a Hap. A Happy. Sounds much better to me than being called “Highly Sensitive” … Continue reading →
Stupid, Honorable, High-Road Seeking Fool
In a post from a few years ago (two posts, actually, under Going to Denver Because You’re Dead) I chronicled this transition of moving to Colorado to start a new life; again reinventing myself, with the hope of somehow finding … Continue reading →
Trauma Biscuit
Discovered that the private garage at my new place is very small. I felt I should maybe fold my side mirrors in, or rub Vaseline on the side of the Cherryot. I did get it pulled in without losing any … Continue reading →
EXTENDED STRESS Hotel.
My Cherryot was loaded to capacity, with the things I thought I’d need for two months, until an apartment became available. At Extended Stay, I checked in with desk clerk–started to unload, and had to take several things up … Continue reading →
