So I’m outside of my edit window, BUT I wanted to share!

hope y’all are having a good weekend!

Hi kids. I haven’t been around on a Saturday for an actual SNS in a while. Stuff n’ things and all that jazz. So in the lead up to Memorial Day weekend I wasn’t doing so great, inside, not that anyone would have known. Last year, while I was getting ready to refi my house, a friend of mine who had been laid off from…

This portrait from Berlin showed up on my FB page today via somebody’s blog. It served to remind me it’s been a year since ABourdain’s death. I never met him, and I doubt he’d be terribly interested in me had we met, but I have always loved the Anthony Bourdain shows about travel and I’m still really really pissed…

Back on Tinder for the first time in about a year because girl want to go out and have fun and maybe smush. I’ve had it for less than 24 hours and have been propositioned by a dude to use a strap-on on him. My face right now is very non-plussed.

Right? That and the moment the president coughs on tv. It’s not that I resent Steven King for taking up so many of my precious brains cells, but I just know when I’m eating mashed banana through a straw in an old folks’ home and don’t know my own name, I’ll be ranting on about the cadence of Flagg’s boot heels,

The Stand! That wonderful, terrifying book has haunted me for decades. The scene (I don’t think you can have a spoiler for a book that was written 40 years ago, but still, stop right here if you’re eagerly looking at a new copy and thinking “what COULD this be about?” ...) where the car the infected lab worker and his…

After a few rough weeks I was so proud to see my husband graduate today. I loathe graduation ceremonies and skipped my own but for the first time really got to feel the pride of watching a loved one celebrate what they’ve earned. Our daughter’s excitement made my heart so happy. He almost didn’t walk and now I’m so…

Bucky update: my boy just turned one (yesterday). He got lots of toys and love and even treated to a dinner date at Lazy Dog. He’s come a long way with training and just age in general. I’m a very proud Bucky mom. 😊

Is CBD helpful or snake oil? I tried some CBD gummies recently and they didn’t seem to do anything. I did sleep kind of good, but I was l read super tired. So I don’t know.

Not to be overdramatic, but I may have prevented a suicide. I found *extremely* concerning clues in my daughter’s room, including several apology notes to different people. When I notified her therapist, we made an appointment for a session immediately, and the therapist actually wrote, “Don’t let her be alone.”

Prague. But I have a sweet spot for the place anyway.  If I had two weeks, I’d plan some countryside excursions, maybe to breweries, maybe to smaller towns.

Quick Update of the Ducky Household:

I euthanized my dog today. I’ve only had her for the last 3 of her 15 years, but I feel like I’ve always had her here. She got really bad really quickly, and it was definitely the best decision for her. I miss her so much. I love her so much. And it’s like I keep forgetting she’s gone; whenever I move or hear a noise…

I shared this doggie photo and these flower pics with the gentle readers of Barf Bag. There was too much bad news this week. I needed a pleasant distraction, and I think some other people did, too.

Hey there! It’s a bummer that I can’t see my notifications, because something with Kinja, but carry on I will. I finally saw the cardiologist for the results of my latest echo, and Backstreet’s back, baby! My EF, which refers to the strength of the heart as it sends out blood, I think, is significantly improved, and…

I have been on SNS the last few weeks crowdsourcing ideas and I am going to continue tonight! So:

Not to be petty, but how could she remain fucking *almost like* MARRIED to someone who will never get an orgasm out ot her? Fool me once, shame on me, fool me YEARS...shame on you. If sex was important to her she should’ve called it quits, seriously.

For a minute, I thought they were going to pull the makeover off when Raj told Amy that if she didn’t like the way she looked, she could change it. I thought “Maybe he’ll leave it at that and not push and it will feel like completely her decision!” But no, he had to push and pick apart each element of her appearance.

Happy Saturday from Pumpkinandy’s Wine Bar and Cat Palace! I have a glass of Mud House Sauvignon Blanc, and we the human and they the kitties have the catnip and human catnip (from the dispensary) also. Tomorrow’s Mother’s Day, and I say thank God for the wine and weed. My mother is a narcissistic witch and the rest…
