Over the past few years, I’ve published other “Being” posts, like “Being Broke” and “Being (Newly) Overweight“…this post follows a similar theme. It’s been almost a year. I’m still processing, and probably will be for a while. We’d been together for over 20 years, after all – over half my life. I’d known him for … More Being Widowed
In all honesty, I probably shouldn’t be here. I’m actually a Leo, which is a Lion, which is a cat, which have 9 lives. I’m pretty sure I burned through 8.5 of them, in 2022 alone. Truth be told, I had one “good” week. It wasn’t that great, it was actually more of a continuation … More What the **ever-loving-fvckity-fvck** just happened??? (2022, Year Of The DumpsterFire)
For me, this is the Thanksgiving that in almost every parallel universe imaginable wouldn’t have happened. You know I wouldn’t take a blog-break this long unless it was for reasons this big. The year-end post will be was (on a personal level) unrivaled. Don’t worry, it’s coming soon enough here. Anyway… In years past, I … More A Thanksgiving less ordinary
I’ve known for 2.5 years that I would title 2021’s year-end post the way I did. Hell, maybe I’ve known for 3 years. And I’ve been waiting to write it for a long time. Not because it’s going to be a bang-up post, but because 2021 simply Would. Not. End. It was like the Energizer … More What the *F*CK* just happened?? (AKA the wretched trainwreck that was 2021)
It’s that time of night again, and the muse is not only sitting on my shoulder but she’s stomping dents in it. I did one of these for your mom (when she was still alive) and practically everybody else who has passed away. You don’t deserve any less, that’s for sure. I feel ashamed that … More Dear Dad…
Straight out of “Shameless”, which is fun to binge-watch on Netflix (what isn’t? Lol), for those of y’all who might be living under my kind of rock. I almost missed the “Shameless” boat entirely, had it not been for Netflix’s algorithm suggestion using a thumbnail pic that featured a wooden fence, with, in sloppy painting: … More ‘I’ll be at V’s getting drunk, pretending I did not just order a hit on a relative’
(Content Advisory: this describes the acute downturn, the final hour, and peaceful passing of our elderly kitty in my arms; ultimately, no euthanasia) [Monday 26 March 2018, taken from a personal journal entry] Had I begun this entry earlier in the day, I would have talked about how for every yang there is a yin … More ‘Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?’
It’s been a hairy past 10 days. First I find out (more like realize) that I’ve been through a hell of a lot of psychological/emotional abuse (why, oh why won’t Apple just include that word in their dictionary? Guess that’ll learn me to write posts on a real ‘puter, eh?). Then I realize the truth … More Here I go…turn the page
You’re not imagining things; this is the first time in a while that I’ve written one of these. I completely bypassed an end-of-October update. Convenient for me, as there wasn’t really much to report. 😉 But there is now. ❤ First things first. Some of y’all know that my best friend’s mom (who was like … More Mid-November 2017 personal health status update
For the past few years, it seems like I have been in a low-level, almost stealthy state of grief. Sometimes it’s for loved ones, both the 2-legged and 4-legged varieties, who have passed on. And there are plenty of those. I’m always amazed when I hear that someone well into adulthood, usually in their 30s … More Always grieving ❤
