Moo
I’m tired. I feel drained. But this chair is so comfortable… I want to play with my farm simulator. Unfortunately… whatever I would do today chore-wise? Got no energy. Had physical and occupational therapy today. … and now I’m watching “Brit Cops,” where the officers have just encountered a deranged man who is only dressed… Continue reading

Wet ‘N Wild
My absolute favorite form of exercise is swimming! I can only do the doggy paddle or swim on my back though… all consequences of the issues with my spine. No butterfly strokes… I’m literally unable to learn other swimming techniques due to discomfort and being uncoordinated. At first, I thought of the doggy paddle as… Continue reading

Oooh IF Only…
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a published author. Well, I’ve accomplished that. Didn’t make much money at all. Second wish would have been to be a photographer or an artist. Can’t ever be a professional musician either. Not as a singer. Not as a percussionist. Not as a pianist.… Continue reading

Shhh… Trade Secret
Collard/kale/turnip/mustard greens. I have no clue where I learned to make them, but the “recipe” is stuck in my head. Probably a misunderstanding of how my grandmother fixed them. With her, I had to learn via watching and hanging outside the kitchen door like some “hungry” gargoyle. Greens are relatively easy too. Just takes years… Continue reading

Endless
If you could have one thing, what would it be and why? In the past, I would have said “if only I could go back…” But going back is a waste of time. The strongest memories we tend to have are the negative ones, aren’t they? The problem with our minds is that over time,… Continue reading

So Simple…
I’m sure there’s plenty that I could say I’m proud of… I guess. But the one thing I’m the most proud of is the fact that I made a charted chore list… and have been following it. I fell off for a few weeks (or a month or so), but I’m back on it now.… Continue reading

Frustration Alley Parkway
Cleaning. Lots of it today. Been watching Aurikatariina videos on YouTube. I want to charge through the rest. But let’s be frank… I worked in my bedroom for half an hour… and likely need another half hour to get it to where I used to keep it. I haven’t played my farm game in days… Continue reading

Both
I end up feeling rested. Extremely rested. Yet, I’m also tired. And I feel like a useless lump because I get nothing accomplished. If It’s a really lazy day for me, it’s one where I haven’t had a shower either… which then makes me depressed. Tonight will be a “lightly lazy” night. ~J. Lyst Probably… Continue reading

But Why Not?
I’m a comic book geek, so the first one I would consider is Jennifer Walters. She’s a successful criminal attorney and has been through two different colleges. She’s one of the most educated women in Marvel, but they still put her in situations that would make some assume she’s a total idiot. ~J. Lyst Continue reading

It’s Not State Farm
In my case, people who keep an eye out for you. Short on sugar? Give them a call. Got their mail? Bring it right over. Obtained free food? Let them know. My neighbors look out for me, especially considering my declining health. One of them couldn’t get paper products one month, so I got ’em… Continue reading
