With or Without You
My Excellent Adventure wasn’t. U2 cancelled on Saturday morning! They made a responsible decision based on what was going on; on Friday the court acquitted a white ex-cop in the shooting death of...
Blah, Blessings, and BS
Blah. Just a general feeling of lethargy. I seem to have no motivation and drag myself to work, grateful for Fridays, dreading Mondays. I have work to do but no push to do it. It isn’t the job - ...
Tick Tock...
U2 released their second single by that title in 1980, and since I’m now counting down only a couple of days until going to St. Louis to see U2 (I’m going to St. Louis to see U2!!! As if you didn...
Sound of Silence
Silence can speak volumes. Saying nothing here means life otherwise has been filled, and nothing of me is left over to sit down and write about it. Except today - on Labor Day I do not labor. Te...

Fluttery

Ketchup
My foot. I’m free! I’m free! Dr. C said my wound is healed; he didn’t even put a bandage on it. He usually asks if I have questions for him; this time he asked if there were any problems. Not w...
Dancing Queen
The pow wow grounds are quiet now. The tents are down. The food and arts and crafts booths are gone. The speakers’ stand, elders’ arbor, and bleachers are empty; no chairs ring the arena; no drum...
Fireworks
But I’m not talking about those in the sky. The court documents full of the worthless waste of humanity’s lies came today. The horrible excuse for a human being asked for an EPO against my mother...
Happy Holiday!
…Argh - found out late yesterday that our reports for our governing council were due TODAY. We have to do one every year, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise, but it was anyway. I got it done an...
Random bits and pieces
Dr. Doom made me cry again yesterday; the last time he saw me he brought me to tears but I held them back. This time I couldn’t. My feet are tender, always have been, and I said so the first time...
Standstill
Nothing really to say. Just writing to show I’m still here. …Baby’s waste of humanity mother isn’t claiming only that my mom beats Baby, which would NEVER happen, but that Baby has been molested ...
Impatient Patient
I’m NOT a patient patient; I’m not patient even when well. I don’t like coming to work part time; I feel I just get started on something and then have to cut it off. Right now, though, I come in ...
Hodge Podge
Baby. Her waste of humanity mother lied to the guardian ad litem, claiming my mother taught Baby to cuss and abuses her! At the courthouse Baby was initially afraid to speak to my mom, although...
Miracles Happen!

Caution: Whining Ahead
I just came from seeing the podiatrist, who 1) asked why I came back to work, 2) asked how many steps I take from my car to my office, 3) said my foot can’t touch the ground because bacteria is e...
What's Going On
I have a touch of the blues. I get so tired even though I work only half the day; when I put in a couple of six hour days they didn’t tire me so much. Yesterday I slept as soon as I got in from w...
Adjusting
On one hand I feel I haven’t been away at all and on the other I have to reacquaint myself with my computer and its workings and the realization that currently I’m limited in movement. I can walk...
Alive and (almost) Kicking
I’m baaaack! When I last wrote here I said I had a bug, which made me really irritable; I missed a week of work with what I thought was the flu but was actually an infection. I went to the hospi...
Just gotta say something...
even though I have nothing to say. The Bachelors. We are related to three men of the same family who are all single - Language Director and his uncle who have both never married and their first c...
Far reaching
Now that my emotional dam has broken, I can’t shut up! One of my favorites is Serin, who wrote an entry that included how someone saved his words from years ago and what that meant to her. When ...
