I am prepping for a trip, a real do nothing vacation. I have done my laundry, been eating up the perishable food, packing. Today is tidy up day. I need to pick up a prescription, get new tires on the truck even though I am not driving, and get some cash. Cat boxes, mail hold,Continue reading “The Usual, Please”

My friends from Salt Lake came to Ogden for our little local pride celebration. They brought along the adorable dog in a rainbow tutu, and their remarkably calm bunny. We looked at all the booths, checked out the art, saw old friends, and posed a lot with the dog. I used my wheelchair just inContinue reading “Pride and PoleDancing”

I was trying to sum up last week, and came up with a lot of nothing. I did the usual stuff, the choredoms, but not much else. Noelle came on Tuesday to do the gardening, and that was awesome as usual. Julio did not mow the yard, and the front lawn began looking rather meadow-y.Continue reading “Lost Week”

Sometimes I just get fed up with the house and myself. This is when the urge to Do The Boring Things kicks in. Honestly, I don’t see the dirt and clutter, and I understand hoarding to a point. While I don’t like trash and food lying around, I know how it happens. You’re depressed, you’reContinue reading “Choredom and Progress”

Newgate Mall is hanging on by a thread. Declining with the Fall of Malls anyway, Covid has not been kind to Newgate. So many shuttered stores, the kiosks empty, and odd little rugged individual shops which don’t stand a chance. The anchor store are Dillard’s and Burlington, and the Cinemark. Now that I am vaccinatedContinue reading “Dating Myself at the Ghost Mall”

Maybe the heat is making me sleepy, perhaps it is boredom, or maybe The Sad. The Sad is hitting hard this time around. I went into the basement and sat on the double recliner, and just sobbed. Everything I looked at was a reminder, everything. The few things which have changed are reminders of repairsContinue reading “So Sleepy July, Dragonflies and Lips, and a Tesseract”

The weirdness next door was Rowena waiting for a police escort for her to pick up more of her things, but the cops had other things to do. It’s all so sad. The flag and streamers are out for the Fourth. This is not a holiday I care about anymore, not that it was before.Continue reading “Summer Fog”

I cannot believe I let over a month slide by. What have I been up to? Finished a painting, sold a painting, went to Seattle, and have been piddling the days away because it has been too damn hot to do a darn thing. I will cover the paintings and the trip next entry. IContinue reading “Summer days, Loki, and Weird Doings Next Door. And Flowers, Always.”

My yard is going wild, the wedding veil bushes are fantastic, and the peonies and columbines and bachelor buttons are in bloom. Fantastic. Noelle is switching to every other week, and the neighbor kid will mow the front. I try to weed, but the weather has been windy, or cold, or stormy like the hailContinue reading “Sweet Blooms and Raw Anger”

What I love about my bleeding hearts is they are reliable, prolific, and long lasting. These have been in bloom for at least two weeks. Pictured is Baby, the big offspring of the mother plant. She was placed in a trashy corner of the yard and has begun to thrive. So, my personal bleeding heart.Continue reading “Bleeding Hearts, the flower and the feeling.”
