Where to start? Retrograde. As in Mercury. It started last Friday and all I’m saying is ya’ll just come in quietly and don’t say a word. I’m spreading expended coffee grounds around my precious flowers and so far have not seen any further damage, but continued vigilance is the name of the game. I’ve snipped … Continue reading The Elephant in the Room

Full Moon Shenanigans

Yes, lucky for her As I was leaving for work this morning, among a series of … Continue reading Full Moon Shenanigans
Full Moon Energy
It’s been a while so let’s just jump right in. Not much changes, really, except that apparently my Easter gift to the neighborhood rabbits is tulips. All but one of them, from my observation. The lone tulip resides in the backyard, which is about as safe to a rabbit as swimming in the Nile. Shuggie … Continue reading Full Moon Energy
I Take It Back
My “passive PT” has been increased to three days a week because Tuesday it appeared I was on my way to a phenomenon known as “frozen shoulder.” Frozen sounds innocuous enough. I mean, so you can’t move your shoulder, right? Okay, so not terrible, right? A little PT will fix that baby right up. Read … Continue reading I Take It Back
Just Looking For a Bathroom
I am 33 days status-post rotator cuff surgery. I am still wearing a sling, though mostly only when away from home and when I sleep at night, or when I get tired or have pain. I can move my arm and should; however, I have extremely limited ROM. It just occurred to me that “should” … Continue reading Just Looking For a Bathroom

He brings it to the local mechanic, who pulls the whole engine apart and finds the problem. He says, “looks … Continue reading Take Me to Church
Poor Eating Habits and Exercise Intolerant
Exciting week, with two breathtaking days of work and “extremely high call volume” followed by a root canal and my annual ob/gyn exam and one dog in heat. All accompanied by the comforting rainfall of a thousand rains. To the last event, Bee was scheduled for spaying next month because I wanted to beat the … Continue reading Poor Eating Habits and Exercise Intolerant
October 16, Sunday
(Word Count: 900) Today is the birthday of an old boyfriend. It’s not so much that I feel it bears mentioning than it is that I remember dates such as these for a lifetime. I am terrible with math but I can remember numbers, particularly birthdays. I’ve known Todd’s birthday since 1986, but I guess … Continue reading October 16, Sunday
October 15, 2022: Sunshine & Happiness
Another Saturday morning in paradise, a welcome change from the monsoon that graced us on Thursday when the dogs were all too happy to enjoy whilst hunting squirrels. Squirrels, I am certain, do not like rain and so must have been in their nests high above the mud pit the dogs have created between the … Continue reading October 15, 2022: Sunshine & Happiness
Where I’ve Been – Early October
It is 7:41 a.m. on a chilly October morning and my brother is actually up before noon and just came in from outside using his high-pitched voice reserved for animals and Shuggie just lost her mind. He and Todd are building a deck for my neighbor and the dogs want to supervise from their side … Continue reading Where I’ve Been – Early October
