Did you have a diary? One with the cheesy lock and key? Yeah. That kind: I would get one for my birthday or Christmas, write in it every day for a week or so, skip a few days, or a week, write a bit, and then leave it for months. My entries were written in … Continue reading Dear Diary,

And Now I’m Sick
Not deathly ill. Just don’t feel good. Sore throat and such. I’m tempted to make some inappropriate comment about what it might be, but it’s probably not and it probably wouldn’t even be funny. So never mind. My grandson is racing his toy monster trucks repeatedly - and describing every move they make in great … Continue reading And Now I’m Sick
In the News Today…
Um, no, not national news. Just my own news. And of course a song for the day, a song that expresses the ups and down of life in the nicest way. Yes, Life is Just a Tire Swing. (I may have even used this song before. It is, after all, a classic.) https://youtu.be/gTdA8YXbdWc So I … Continue reading In the News Today…
Being Swallowed
My post has been hijacked by my own brain. This was NOT supposed to start with this ridiculous song. “I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor.” No. But you know how I am. Once I’ve thought it, I have to find it and share it. Plus, it's Johnny Cash so it can't be all bad. … Continue reading Being Swallowed
Not Just Introverts?
I ran across an article today - The Sixth Love Language: Distance. It resonated with me in a way that none of the other 5 love languages do . Even before I read the article, I thought "Yesssss. Distance..." as if I could hear my lover calling my name. According to the article: There’s been … Continue reading Not Just Introverts?
I Feel…
I feel weighted down by the demand of other people’s needs. Not necessarily by what they ask for or what they expect, but just by the knowledge that they are there, needing an energy that I don’t always have. It’s ok, it’s not a problem, I just need to say it. In other news, I … Continue reading I Feel…
Here We Go Again…
Sometimes, I think of a title for my post first and it leads me down all kinds of ridiculous thought pathways. "Here We Go Again," for example. First I heard it in Ronald Regan's voice, except that was "There you go again..." and I'll just leave that here, cause nothing else needs to be said … Continue reading Here We Go Again…
No electricity
It’s very dark here. They don’t know when it will be fixed. Back tomorrow.
The Game
"Come here," he said, and she did, quickly, kneeling at his feet the way he liked. "Good girl," he said, with a smile, patting her head, and then smiling more since he knew she hated when he patted her head. She smiled back, refusing to react. "I want to spank you," he said. "And play … Continue reading The Game
Plot Twist
So. Do you know Pema Chodron? I LOVE her. She says so many wise things. “We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. … Continue reading Plot Twist
