  • My Friend Cat

    I met Cat, (Catherine Walker) at the garden shop, she is also a volunteer. We immediately hit it off. Cat did restocking, solving problems, really anything that didn’t involve the cash register. We both worked Wednesdays and Fridays, first shift. She loved cats, (sans her nickname) and had two which she loved and would come…

  • Handicap Parking Placard (Permit)

    I have a blue Handicapped Parking permit for the state of Virginia and I also have one for the state of New York. This year I had to renew both of them. First I went to renew in Virginia. This was done online. All you had to do was put in the number assigned to…

  • Losing Interest…..

    I am slowly losing interest in writing this blog. It is not what I thought it would be. I did just pay for 3 more years, so again, hopefully I’ll get my shit together and have the concentration needed to make it what I want. Not only do I need to focus, I also need…

  • Monthly Weigh In – January 2023

    Well here it is, 2023. I usually don’t make any resolutions. I don’t believe a resolution is to be made at any certain day or time of year. If I make one I can do it at any time. Regardless, I weighed myself the other day and I got on and off the scale 3…

  • My Dysfunctional Family (sung like “The Adams Family”)

    Aah, Christmas time….. when family gets together and enjoy each others company, (or not). To some, including myself it is just a reminder of how dysfunctional we all are. Since I’m going to go through my family members, I’ll start with myself. I am in a loveless marriage. Unfortunately my taste in men throughout the…

  • “and So This is Christmas”…….

    I had to start with a lyric from my favorite Christmas song, “Happy Christmas, (War is Over).” We started shopping and decorating late because we spent so much time in New York for Thanksgiving. I didn’t put up a tree, we would be leaving for Christmas in two weeks. I did decorate a little, I…

  • It’s Been Such a Long Time

    I can’t keep up….. Never wrote about Thanksgiving in New York, (our first in years). Now it is after Christmas and this is my first day being able to write. There is so much that happened and is happening now, that I don’t know where to begin, or begin at all. The time has past…

  • Handicapped Parking, again…..

    I need my hair cut. I have one week before we go away and my time is limited. P has been bringing me because where I go there is one handicapped space and usually it is taken, this way he can drop me off. His time is more limited than mine so I was feeling…

  • Little Black Kitty

    The week before Halloween I noticed a small black cat showing up at the pond, the front steps and on the back deck, (with the cameras at the pond, deck and Nest camera at te front door). I noticed it was a little boy and very small. I talked to my neighbor and she noticed…

  • Six month MS Doctor Appt.

    My MS doctor has repeatedly requested that I show up with my walker instead of the wheelchair since I use the walker at home. I haven’t because it is a long walk to the elevator from being dropped off at the outpatient building entrance. Today I decided to surprise him and show up using the…
