Q-Day 250 Had a dream that V’s dad arranged for her to get some kind of new experimental treatment – for what I have no idea – using an octopus. Surely this was a worm planted by a friend’s meme, of 2020’s Thanksgiving turkey – the body cavity erupting with octopus tentacles. Did you know … Continue reading Tenuous

Meditation
You know how hard it is to fall back to sleep after a blood sugar check in the middle of the night, when your brain starts turning over new ideas and titles for blog posts and the direction of that novel you started for Nanowrimo and then memories start flooding in of things that should … Continue reading Meditation
Q-Day 221: I Never Did Mind About the Little Things
Medical: One tele for Todd, none for me, and three appointments for V, the last of which was Endo on Tuesday. She was her usual pleasant public self, smiling and agreeable, though she snapped at her beloved dad in the waiting room. Teenage girls. The source of many a whiplash for parents. And, for the … Continue reading Q-Day 221: I Never Did Mind About the Little Things
When The World Falls Down Around You
*Trigger warning: pandemic, politics, worry, anxiety, loss* That the pandemic has been hard on all of us is a truism that I shouldn’t even write anymore, but I’m saying it anyway. There have been ebbs and flows to all the days of the last 180. About a year ago I was feeling sad about my … Continue reading When The World Falls Down Around You
Q-Day 92: The Gentleman Wears Plaid
Today’s blog post brought to you by the letter “P” and the letter “R.” P is for Productivity. And I sincerely hope the person who really needs to feel productive achieves his/her goal. As for me, I was productive yesterday. That’s enough productivity. R is for Respect. Show some respect for the people who love … Continue reading Q-Day 92: The Gentleman Wears Plaid
The Breaking Point, Part 3: Angry
Q-Day 81 I’ve had a few “off” days. I’ve needed to socially distance myself from the circus. I realized I hadn’t turned off notifications for the community page and so I did that too. Contrary to what some think, there really is a healthy mix of those in my community who take this seriously, and … Continue reading The Breaking Point, Part 3: Angry
Q-Day 63 – Isn’t It Delightful?
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood and a beautiful day for leaving the gate open for Sabra to go turd hunting first thing in the morning. TODD. Lawn mowing competition is ramping up. I got a refund for the field trip V never got to go on, and promptly misplaced the check. She finally … Continue reading Q-Day 63 – Isn’t It Delightful?
Q Day 42/43: Earth Day & White Trash
Just as I predicted, Silverfox landed himself in Facebook jail. He’s suspended for three days for using “hate speech.” And, since ya’ll are dying to know… White Trash. By comparison, I have written “f#cking asshole” at least a half dozen times on Facebook and sailed under the radar. He’s also been banned on American Home … Continue reading Q Day 42/43: Earth Day & White Trash
Q-Day 41: They’re Coming to Take Me Away
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 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
