A Positive Shock/Surprise
Yesterday, my Ex (Jeff) and I ran a few "gotta git 'er done" chores together. The first was to take the large glass jar--into which we have been tossing loose change for years--to the bank with the goal of pouring said change into the bank's change counter machine. Then . . . we'd split the total value as half-and-half to each. There was quite a ( Read more... ) -
Little Girl, Maple
Sweet, gentle little Maple of the protruding ribs who has been haunting my thoughts for something approaching 2 months called me back to the City Pound yesterday. I had called Jeff to let him know that I was ready to adopt her, so he met me there to help. As the Pound staff were short-handed and quite busy, they set us in one of the small back ( Read more... ) -
At Least It's Less Than a Whole Month. . .
Besides apologizing for such long gaps between such few/short/bland posts, I'm also sorry that I don't even get going well enough to read My Friends' posts. I am trying to toss away the worst of the depression and such negative nonsense. Any Good Wishes and Kind Thoughts as might float around in my direction are very welcome and appreciated, even ( Read more... ) -

Then it went into hiding and I lost my first paragraph that was going to continue the point of the Missing Title. sigh . . .

Monday, Monday . . .
And I don't remember the next phrase of the song . . . Since I am definitely NOT Mama Cass, it is just as well that I do NOT even try to sing that excellent song.
The Big News today is that the divorce is FINALLY complete and official. This means that certain "No, you may NOT"s are now gone. Things like selling items neither of us want or need ( Read more... ) -
SHORT IS OFTEN SWEETEST
I'm not necessarily making a reference to my-5'2"-self with that title. Although my brave and patient Readers are quite welcome to think so. Frankly, it's more an apology because I only have a short 15 minutes to create this post before I MUST clock in for The Job . . . and start DOING today's paid work. Here goes . . .
I went to the Humane Society ( Read more... ) -
Lights Flying Thru the Nite Sky
Last night I stood in my back yard and exercised my neck muscles while following and hunting down the multiple lights dashing, blinking, and generally decorating the Sky. (And I'm not talking about stars this time.) Some of the lights were the straightforward white-ish dot (with the leashed-pet blinking colored dot) of commercial airplanes flying ( Read more... ) -
SAME OLD: This Will Be Short
Not much "New" with me. But I don't want to ignore this opportunity to contact with others, even if I only manage to get a little bit of communication out there. Main thing is: I'm still alive and trying to do well . . . or at least "to do well enough"!
The city sent me a letter several weeks ago insisting that I cut back the lilacs along the fence ( Read more... )
