For Kelly

[This was written about, oh, two weeks ago? I started writing it and then fell dead asleep in the chair. -A]
It has been what, a million years since I’ve posted? Yes, yes. It’s been a million years and there’s so much to catch up on. In fact, now that I’ve checked, I see that it’s [...]

This gets old

Today is another one of those days where I’ve spent much of it having a mini-panic attack. I don’t know if there’s actually a diagnostic term for something like that but that’s as best as I can describe it. Either way, it has paralyzed me for most of the morning and it’s getting old. Really [...]

Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Yes, I’m going to be cliche and exclaim, “Where the fuck did the last seven years go?!” We could also ask about the last nine (Iain’s age in a little over a week) or 15 (yes, 15 years married). But yeah, where is it, y’all?

It’s raining like crazy outside and after the temperature dips tonight, we’re supposed to get some snow. It’ll be not much more than a dusting but [...]

Yeah, yeah

Zoom zoom zoom

You know, I’m used to the low side of bipolar disorder. The depressions are what I experience most and just last week I started coming out of what was a fairly bad one. Part of it was the stress of moving or at least it was brought on by it but either way it went [...]

The little Annie that could

Today was an incredibly productive day and yesterday I was no slouch either. This place, minus the kitchen and my bedroom, look far better than they have in a very long time. My bedroom is my next project and it will be big. You see, my bedroom is like the parking lot for crap in [...]

Toddler bingo

I just saw this and it’s hilarious. While Iz isn’t a toddler anymore, I’m not outside of scoring a BINGO on some days.
