Sunday Todd pulled the beast out and took me for a ride. I’m talking about the MUSTANG, you depraved miscreants. The sun was bright and the green of spring radiant. We drove to a nearby town on the water where a popular restaurant was open for takeout, and there were at least a dozen people … Continue reading Q-Day 41: They’re Coming to Take Me Away
Q-Day 39: Easy Like Sunday Morning
Sunday morning and it’s like 30 degrees in Maryland. THIRTY DEGREES. Yesterday I lit the fireplace and left it on all day, and after dinner Todd said it was too hot upstairs. I turned it off but he disappeared downstairs to the pinball machine, where the dings and rings could be heard drifting up the … Continue reading Q-Day 39: Easy Like Sunday Morning
Q-Day 35: Word Salad
**Tiger King spoilers below In-office week. I fully expected a bleary, mundane last two days, but work was steady. Not busy, just steady. Except for the final two and half hours Monday evening. I tried to keep busy with menial tasks while listening to the shitshow they called a White House Briefing. Yesterday not one … Continue reading Q-Day 35: Word Salad
Q-Day 32: Easter Sunday
Happy Easter! Unfortunately, no Easter baskets this year. I did buy some Easter candy at the store last week, but it was – like everything else in the damn store – slim pickins. O came into the kitchen this morning and, after munching on Hershey’s milk chocolate eggs, asked me to hide the bag. … Continue reading Q-Day 32: Easter Sunday
Q-Day 30: April 10, In Our BEST Year
Today is my three-year anniversary at my job. Three years ago today I was in Philly for an all-day orientation. It was a beautiful day, though I spent all but the few minutes’ walk around the block inside. Side note: I get a prize for my anniversary! I don’t know what it is. I’m waiting … Continue reading Q-Day 30: April 10, In Our BEST Year
Q-Day 29: Shitshows, Passover, & Keeping It Real
Both kids’ Easter breaks began today. There’s something oddly ironic about this. No big Easter plans, obv. I was going to make peanut butter eggs but the lunatics have bought out every variety of chocolate chip known to man. I did buy three Hershey’s chocolate bars to use instead, but have managed to eat one … Continue reading Q-Day 29: Shitshows, Passover, & Keeping It Real
Quarantine Day 27: Spiraling
Sabra avoided me for about 4 hours after her bath and blowout but got bacon drippings with dinner and all was well with her world again. Last night Todd and I tag-teamed her so we could shave her face and, while she hated it, she looks so much better. I am proclaiming myself queen of … Continue reading Quarantine Day 27: Spiraling
Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together
I’m borrowing from this article I read the other day. The ideas are not mine and I have attached the link to the article and give full credit to the author. Hereto follows suggestions for us to do other than watching Netflix. [First off, Netflix is barely on the table anyway. He wouldn’t have made … Continue reading Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together
Quarantine Day 22: Joy
Welp, today’s the day. Todd says “someone” smells like pee and since I’m pretty sure it’s not me, Sabra is getting her bath today. Her fur is long and getting fluffier by the day so I anticipate this is going to be a joyful adventure. I read that monkeys shouldn’t eat bananas, that it’s equivalent … Continue reading Quarantine Day 22: Joy
Quarantine Day 21: No April Fools’ Jokes
I am intentionally keeping Q-Day posts as short as possible (goal: under 1000 words) for quick reading, and broke it into 3 sections. Section 1: updates and random thoughts. Section 2: the day's stats (will NOT include virus stats. If you got time for that, you can look it up yourself). Section 3: random trivia. … Continue reading Quarantine Day 21: No April Fools’ Jokes
