Today I am turning a new leaf, as they say. Total cliche, I know, but it is a descriptive cliche, hence the usage. I am tired of my own whining. I know, it is hard to imagine. I’m completely bored with myself the way I am right now. In every way. I cannot escape myself, [...]

There is something special about the way a person feels when recovering from a disgusting scourge. This past week and a half I’ve been sicker than any time in recent memory. I felt like I was drowning in my own goo. Literally. Finally had to break down this past Friday and go to the doctor, [...]
Oh, I am so very, very sick of being sick.

Not only me, but I have infected my darling daughters. And as I may have mentioned in the past, the only thing worse than being sick myself, is being sick and having them sick, because regardless, I still have to take care of them. Then, who takes care of me? Hubbo is at work all [...]
Grouchy Couchy

Aaaaah. Sick again. On the couch, waiting for the nighttime cough medicine to kick in. Unfortunately it is not my fave narcotic cough medicine. The last two doses were used to quell my most recent cough. I miss it. If this misery turns into something more serious than it is, maybe I’ll give my doc [...]
Sleepless nights, revisited

Back in the day, when the ladies were little and nobody ever slept at the same time and everyone was hungry at all hours of the day and night, I didn’t sleep. Really. Ever. Thanks to my eldest daughter, Beenie, I was able to experience that kind of sleepless night last night. She now can [...]
A Wonderfully Dreary Day

Usually a day such as today would be a boon to my mood and outlook– not so today. Despite the fantastic glowing orange leaves, just a few, that remain on the huge tree in front of our house, I am still utterly uninspired. All I have in front of me is making dinner and doing [...]

Early morning meeting again for the old man, so I’m busy at the business of writing things at midnight on my couch. Was able to drink a glass and a half of wine this evening without any indication of a migrane approaching, which frankly, is exciting news for me. Sad, but true. I’ll take what [...]
Plumbing

Annually the pipe that connects our house to the sewer main in the street gets clogged with roots growing through its terra cotta pipe. Every year we call crooks (RotoRooter) to come snake ‘em out for tons of money, watching the shit seep out of the pipe cover in our basement. This year we managed [...]

I took this photo walking around the Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore, probably on the way to the liquor store. This city is saturated right now. Color. Real, dense, true color. Deep oranges and reds, blasting yellows, glowy greens. Fall is taking the colors from the trees. I feel a little bit like I’m having a [...]

You can nominate yourself and beg your friends and whoever else to vote for you and then you have a chance to get an award. You have to register on the site, sorry, I know this is annoying. [...]
