He would hug you back! Very affectionate guy. :-)

I thought Ted Turner invented cable news?

I broke up with a longtime friend about a month after the election. She has always been conservative, but the last few years I realized just how self absorbed and unkind she is. Oh and her screwing around on her husband and then desperately wanting to save her marriage when the guy she was screwing rejected her. Her…

I posted a few weeks ago bout losing my beloved horse Doc, a rescued thoroughbred who we had to put down due to colic. Thanks to everyone for your kind words and well wishes. I miss him every day but have exciting news to share that we found a wonderful new horse with an amazing disposition and very different…

It is a monumentous occasion. The uterus is coming out. I am having a party with pizza and cake and, as fate is like that, it’s timed with my last period ever.

You guys. I have bed bugs.

Heading out for the first glamping adventure of the season. Just reloaded the camper, put the dogs in their harnesses and we are almost ready to go!

Pearl Jam radio on XM had an ongoing tribute for Chris Cornell today. They played interviews, live tracks, and B sides. It was surprising cathartic. My husband and I drove around for a while listening, talking a lot, and even crying a little at times. We saw Soundgarden 2 weeks ago. My husband and I initially bonded…

May long weekend up here in Canada. How are everyone’s gardens and planting coming along?

**Catalina update**

You mentioned anger in another post. If I applied the feeling to you erroneously I apologize. But if your biggest beef is that some pissed off woman is laughing at you somewhere, you’ll have to excuse my not going into a tailspin about it.

I’m sitting next to a hospital bed containing my father. He’s been fighting lung cancer, and last week really started struggling to breathe. He waited until his regular chemo appointment to get any attention for it. Oncologist sent him straight to the ER, where he ended up being admitted.

Guys, I have a date this Wednesday! Haven’t been on a date in fucking years; like 6 years. Met him at a work party and we hit it off after I was allowed to mingle. My friend was talking to him first, so I feel kinda bad on that front, but after we were introduced, we just kept talking and he kept fetching drinks while…

My mom has colon cancer, as of Wednesday. I can’t really reconcile my feelings about this.

My husband’s student debt is STILL like a second mortgage, and we’re 47. We pay $950 every month toward that son of a bitch, and can never get any traction because of it.

Garden Thread!

I was in a car accident this week, I rear ended by a kid who fell asleep at the wheel. He was so apologetic and scared I couldn’t even get mad. No one was injured, but my car is bad. I’m hoping they can repair it, I’m one of those that just keeps a car forever, and the car (a 2008 Honda) was in perfect working order…

My 31 year old fiancé, who we thought had a stomach bug and bronchitis for two and a half weeks, was hospitalized for congestive heart failure last night. We have no idea how or why his heart isn’t working right now, and the cardiologist isn’t going to be able to see him until tomorrow. All we know is that his heart…

Am I the only person watching Anne with an E? The Netflix Anne of Green Gables? They have added SO MUCH. I was all pissy through the beginning but the stories that have been added fit very well.

Last week we had a very brief set back where Big Foot spent hours raging about nothing in particular and making absolutely no sense. During her rant she claimed that people (including me, the psychiatrist and the nurse practitioner) were trying to make her fat on purpose and she would figure out why sooner or later.…
