(Of COURSE as soon as I type a reference to Sammy Davis Jr do I get Michael Jackson’s “You Can’t Win” from The Wiz.) I think I should dig up the original Ocean’s Eleven and watch it soon. I love that movie. Work’s been quite busy, but mostly for good reasons. So HERE is the… Continue reading Mostly Narrative Freewriting #EO-Eleven…
“How was your night, Daphne?” “I got a little piece of my soul back.” Just saw the Genesis tribute band perform “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway,” pretty much the way Genesis did when I was a baby. I had such a wonderful time, and it was very healing for me. I felt like I… Continue reading Giving the Past a Slip
(By that I mean, I’m writing in a Starbucks. Though I’m not drinking coffee and I’m using my own internet. So why am I here? It’s right near a dispensary/dab bar, so I didn’t have to think about driving until after the dab wears off. DUI’s are something to avoid) Had a nice little moment… Continue reading Normie Mode: On
On the way to work in a Lyft. Miata will shift again and until then Sweetie and I share my electric one. Gotta get used to driving it. Dear God means more to me now than as a kid. I guess because I know it’s true. Sigh, Water Tiger again. Makes me miss him so… Continue reading Mobile Blog whatever
A mistake on my part turned into an opportunity to provide documentation showing my old boss is not ok. Of course, it happened because she triggered the fuck outta me by pretty much duplicating the kind of email tantrum Kevin used to have. (Y’all who exchanged emails with him know what I mean.) I was… Continue reading Mobile Microblog #3
I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time in 20 years tonight. This was my 21st time watching it in a theater. The first time way back in November 1993 in Long Beach. I went on and off for the next few years. As a young college kid, was one of the… Continue reading Mostly Narrative Freewriting #10: Return to an Old Favorite
Got bloodwork done after stalling for a few months. But if my doc wants to see me about getting Ibuprofen*, i might as well have bloodwork for her to look at. The butterfly thing gave me a bruise. (My body isn’t fond of giving up blood unless my uterus is involved, thanks to a bout… Continue reading Mobile Microblog #2
(Maybe if I create a new series I’ll do this more?) The Logical Song by Supertramp speaks to my soul. It captures that base childhood emotion of having your curiosity suddenly stifled when it was time to be properly educated? Sweetie made dinner. We’re all good cooks, luckily.
Survived Widowhood Season #6. The day itself was full of driving and Pokemon Go and doctor’s appointments. The MRI was more tolerable this time because I knew what it was going to be like. Plus Darling was with me the whole day. He’s an amazing boyfriend. Spent what would have been Kevin’s 59th birthday venturing… Continue reading Mostly Narrative Freewriting #9: Fall ’21
Using the day off you’re taking because you just can’t go to work on your widowhood anniversary, to attend to your medical needs, using your insurance and FasTrack pass to drive out to where the referral is. Seriously? The nerve… After all, you failed. You even forgave him before he died. You didn’t know what… Continue reading Widowhood Season 6.4: Survivor’s Guilt
