All good stuff. in A small but passable life.
I had a good talk with Mom this morning. She thinks she’s ready to try it on her own again. Maybe she’ll make it more than three months this time. We’ll see. I just booked a flight for May the 5t...
Sanity waning? in A small but passable life.
This morning started as usual. Wait for the bathroom light to come on. Mom is usually up early to pee, without the light, and then goes back to bed. Or if later, up for good turning the light on....
Always. in A small but passable life.
A few days ago we had our hottest day of the year so far, 97 degrees, and right now thunderstorms with a spattering of rain are blowing through. Crazy. While Mom and I were out running errands ye...
off Exit 198. in A small but passable life.
I had gotten an early start. I was at the bank before 9:30am. After nearly an hour waiting I was finally seated at a desk. I only had three tasks to complete. And alas, because of some legal mumb...
No egg laying rabbits here! in A small but passable life.
Last Easter I woke up in the woods after my thirty day sojourn. I packed up my camp and hiked out to the road. I brewed my coffee and sat and waited for my ride. Daughter’s mother soon arrived an...
A story for another time. in A small but passable life.
For a couple of days there it was too windy and cool to lay by the pool so I ran errands. I wandered around Walmart for two hours while Mom had her mani/pedi done. I didn’t see anything I wanted ...
Cringe worthy? in A small but passable life.
The political ads started up on the TV this past week. All four of the candidates are obnoxious, with Bernie’s being the least obnoxious, but obnoxious nonetheless. The least “cringe worthy”? Two...
...question! in A small but passable life.
I finished reading “Battlefield America” by John W. Whitehead. We, as a country are definitely heading into a new paradigm. Related to the book but gleaned from elsewhere is the fact that this e...
Turds. in A small but passable life.
At the beginning of this election cycle there were nineteen human turds floating in the republican toilet. Now there are two?, three?, four? left. Someone needs to just flush the damn thing. An...
More truth . . . in A small but passable life.
The only difference between humans and other animals is that humans can make stuff up. Write that on a piece of paper and look at it now and again. Look around. Look at everything we’ve made up....
Finally. DRUMPH!!! in A small but passable life.
Done deal. in A small but passable life.
This is crazy. I wrote yesterday’s entry yesterday. And this morning while perusing my morning news I ran into this: http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/tripping-without-lsd-how-your-brainwaves-can-p...
Got to go out. in A small but passable life.
Yesterday was another warm day at the pool. 86 degrees outside. Daughter called yesterday morning. She said that gas prices had bottomed out at $1.18 a gallon before easing back up. Unreal. Yes...
Purgatory. in A small but passable life.
Two more overcast days with highs in the low eighties. I ran errands instead of lying by the pool. I did another round of grocery shopping. I took Mom to a doctor appointment. I took Mom to the l...
Clueless. in A small but passable life.
Today was a record breaker. It was the earliest day in the year ever for the temperature to hit ninety degrees. I still managed a few hours lying by the pool. I’ve always loved the feel of my hid...
Forgot a book! in A small but passable life.
So, I write two entries and forget to mention that I’ve finished reading “Lights Out” by Ted Koppel. It was an eye opening book. I’ve thought about the premise often but Koppel really researched ...
95% in A small but passable life.
I thought I’d be able to complete this lifetime as a landless peasant. No such luck. My brother and I now own the RV lot and everything on it. Anyway, it took us nearly a week to go through ever...
A shredding day. in A small but passable life.
A cold (er) front moved in Sunday night. 50mph winds ripping across the desert valley. That brought in a week of Winter (ish) weather. High’s in the fifties, lows in the thirties. One whole week....
One more step. in A small but passable life.
Mom’s doctor appointment Thursday afternoon was a bust. He was the referral from the GP so the next step in the process, I guess. He was a ‘rods, screws, and pins’ surgeon. Mom has two cracked ve...
Sorting out. in A small but passable life.
I’ve got the kitchen sorted out and stocked up for at least a week or two. I renewed my Arizona ID card and library card. When I was at the library today I perused the used books for sale shelve...
1180 miles West, again. in A small but passable life.
4pm. 74 degrees here. 28 degrees back home. Daughter hasn’t called yet. Probably because she knows I’ll laugh at her. Anyway, the flight was good. Only a half hour late landing. The plane had to ...
Perfect timing. in A small but passable life.
6:36am. 26 degrees with a wind chill of 17 degrees here. 50 degrees there. Everything is on track, so far. Yesterday morning I walked to the library. There was a thin glaze of ice on the sidewalk...
Getting 'er done! in A small but passable life.
Okay, okay, okay. Yesterday was a productive day. I got everything picked up, packed up, and piled up. I got my carry-on packed. I may need to re-pack it to make sure there is nothing extra in th...
So what. in A small but passable life.
10am. 13 degrees here, 52 degrees there. Three more days here. I haven’t gotten anything done except sit here and think about all I need to do. I called Mom last evening to tell her when my fligh...
No motivation. in A small but passable life.
Well, I guess it’s something to look forward to. It is 21 degrees here with a wind chill of 7 degrees and snowing a bit at 10:39am. It is 52 degrees with a high of 68 degrees predicted in the des...
