the end
I’m trying to work up the motivation to put on a coat and start shoveling the driveway, but part of me, the part the coffee hasn’t reached yet, is saying, Why bother? This is my last post ever before all of time, space and dimension winks out of existence. You know. End of the Mayan… Read.

morning walk
My early-morning walk wasn’t the act of quiet contemplation it usually is. The snow that winter finally brought us yesterday had frozen to the roads making them go crunchy-crunchy under my feet. And it wasn’t dark as the inside of a cow, either. The heavy cloud cover that I guess means the weathermen were right… Read.

long weekend
B and I both took Monday off so we could spend Sunday not whining about how we didn’t want to go back to work the next day. And then on Monday we went into town to have lunch together, shop for stocking stuffers and just hang out. Seriously, we whine a lot on Sundays. It’s… Read.

clean sweep
After I made the morning coffee, after I read the morning paper, after I listened to my favorite Sunday-morning radio shows, and after I argued with myself about it for at least fifteen minutes, I finally forced myself to get off the sofa, strip down to my shorts and clean up the bathroom. It wasn’t… Read.

chicken
I had no plan for dinner last night and no idea what I could have scrounged up from the pantry even if I’d come up with a plan at the last minute. I couldn’t even suggest a place to go eat when My Darling B posed the customary Thursday night question, “What’s for dinner?” I… Read.

How I spent my birthday
I was in and out of the DMV on Wednesday morning in less than fifteen minutes to renew my driver’s license. That’s the good news. Wait, no; the good news is that there is no bad news. It’s all good news. I’ve never had such an easy time of going to the DMV. (Yay, me.)… Read.

up and at ’em
It’s four-thirty in the morning, and it’s time for some coffee, because what else are you going to do if you’re awake at four-thirty in the morning besides make coffee? Everything else in the day comes later. When it’s that early, coffee’s the only thing that matters. Why am I out of bed at four-thirty… Read.

mummy
I habba bloddy dose. I get these every winter, along with chapped hands. And there’s a sign of aging that I wish somebody had taken a moment to warn me about. “When you hit fifty, your hands are going to get chapped in the winter, sort of like how your lips get chapped except there’ll… Read.
