end of year

Looking quite Venetian 

This morning. 

From 6 years ago today.  

Lol. No change in diet

No change in activity 

Up 4 pounds literally 

Overnight. Stress. 

So my patient Little Man Dude- 

(We’ve been together 6 years)

Was acting a fool. 

You know, moaning instead of talking…

Not answering questions…

(Like are you hot or cold?)

Typical behavior that he can

Maintain for hours. Ugh. 

Well- not today. 

I went over to him, grabbed him up,

And started to sing. I sang! 

I sang every Carpenters song I know. 

He immediately was quiet

And we had the best day ever. 

Her voice - is like an angel’s. 

He had never heard her. 

We put on the Beats and went to town. 

And then I sang to the night nurse

And we sang every Carpenters song. 

And I sang all the way home. 

Most important thing. Sleep. 

Those red scrubs 

are threadbare now. Lol. 

Vanity. All is vanity. 

boxer day

Did NOT want to wake up today. 

It’s cold and I’m sleepy

And these kids all act out. All day. 

They’re not ”good kids”   Per se 

As compared to what? 

Us as kids ? Can’t compare that.

These kids do absolutely nothing 

and when they do, it’s always a prank. 

No Early Childhood Development Expert

Can NOT fix this. The answer is NOT 

In a book. They don’t care. 

You can’t reward them.  They don’t care. 

You can’t punish them. They just don’t care. 

They just want to be online. 

I get that. Lol. 

What A Burger 

Does serve hamburgers

For breakfast if you want. 

Texans love their What-a-Burger. 

This was candy.

It was no bake fudge but 

A chemical reaction occurred 

That make it like little burned rocks. 

It’s was like freeze-dried lava.

With pockets of sweetener? 

I don’t even bring Xylitol in to the house

Because of the cats. 

We lost another Blogger from 2009. 

Dear Sean Anderson. 

Diary of a Winning Loser. 

He never really got over loss of his mom. 

It’s hard to watch people struggle 

During the last 3 years. 

So much sorrow and loss. 

Lol. I have to laugh … I wonder 

If people say the same about me. 

Lol poor Anne. She struggles so. 

All my struggles are internal. Lol. 

I have this internal dialogue:

Me: I should hire a coach. 

Rational Me: We already did that. 

Me: ahhh- good. What? 

Rational Me: now just DO what she suggested. 

Me: Do it? Hell no. I’d rather flounder. 

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas to you! 

Ukraine Front Lines. 

My dear friend Pete 

Gave me this beautiful gift! 

Before hairs cut

After hairs cut. 

It’s now been 3 full years. 

Since COVID 19 made its first appearance. 

I was in the Emergency Room with a mysterious illness. Which now they say was probably COVID. 

I’m so glad to see a wee 

Glimmer of hope that it’s done. 

Ready to go back to doing things.
