Today I emptied the Needful Things bin. I took a few things for myself, the Sharpies, a spoon, a glass water bottle, some tissues and a bowl, a basket, the keychain pocket knives. What is left is a bag of bandanas, a small box of kitchen stuff, and a smallish bag of hygiene items suchContinue reading “Not Burning Man”

I don’t know why I simply stopped journaling here. The outlet was certainly needed, I have been something akin to sad all year. A recap is on order, yes? In April I went to Maui, stayed at Kihei. Did shrooms for the first time. In June I went to Maui with Jeremy. He got divorced,Continue reading “Oh look, December. What happened?”

So, February just floated by. I didn’t go to more movies, Lyft is simply too unreliable. The neighbors left me flowers on Valentine’s again. they are so sweet. Mostly I listened to the Dresden Files until I ran out of books in the Audible Library, and credits. I get a new credit, and a newContinue reading “March On In.”

Usually February is chilling, snowy, and iced over. So far we’ve had chilly, leftover ice in the shade, and a valley inversion making the air just awful. Nice cosmetic sunshine. Not doing a lot here, not much art, some cleaning, laundry of course. I did go to a movie, The King’s Man. Only one otherContinue reading “Winter’s Icy Grip … Where is it?”

Finally, after years of wistful wishing, I was gifted a giant metal chicken. Granted, it is a rooster, but for some reason all metal yard fowl are called chickens. Inspiration came from a blog I read long ago about drunken shopping and bringing home a giant metal chicken. Hers was named Beyonce, mine shall beContinue reading “Knock knock Melon Farmer”

Well, we certainly have had snow! Lots of smaller storms and at least one hefty one. Power has stayed on, which is good as it is so cold. The Comcast cable crapped out, I felt bad for the tech who had to climb two ladders to replace it in the wind and snow. The houseContinue reading “New Day”

No snow yet. The great autumn to holiday decorating transfer has begun. All the kitchen silk flowers, garlands and gourd shaped ceramics are downstairs. Norens are close to swapped out, they’re upstairs at least. The holiday metal stars on up out front, and the big wreath. Noelle will bring in the tree from the shedContinue reading “Hold, hold, hold …”

Three in the morning is early to be awake, but there I was, all sleep fled for the night. Alrighty then, coffee and donuts it is. I was full of plans for the day, fold the clean clothes, fold the towels. Bake a pie or maybe two. Work on the Loki I am painting. SoContinue reading “Damn, Skippy”

I finally gave away the big box of Larry’s shoes. Tossed one pair which was more worn than a stranger might want. Lugged them out into the family room where they sat for a couple weeks. Took a picture and posted on Buy Nothing. Put them in smaller boxes and a couple bags. Brought theContinue reading “Shoes”

Nearly a month between entries, I am slacking off! Austin was nice enough, I signed up for Doordash, and used my Instacart for groceries. I got to see two old friends, one a burner and one from way back in Japan. Both friends of Larry, so a lot of good memories. I also met upContinue reading “Long time…”
