Yeah, I feel ya, Spongebob. I wasn't expecting much from today, except trying to get some information for my house so when it's time for the improvements, all is in order. I'd hoped to have more time for Masterclasses, gardening, and writing... but the records issue sucked up most of the day. Especially after the … Continue reading Optimism, the hard crash, & stress cleaning all in one day…

Further adventures of surprising winter weather in Southeast Texas… well, mine anyway…
Image from abc13.com. I was definitely NOT gonna drive out on icy roads in the dark, thank you. I woke up to absolute quiet this morning, and that's after I'd gone to bed before midnight and kinda expected to get up really early. But my alarm never went off, and I heard the dog moving … Continue reading Further adventures of surprising winter weather in Southeast Texas… well, mine anyway…
That feeling when you’ve overlooked the obvious (in your fish tank)…
I've spent days getting little done and yet having full days. I've also wanted the weather to warm up a bit so the water I'd need to put in my fish tanks would be warmer, too. Maybe I'm too cautious, but the quickest way to refill the tanks and get things balanced is with my … Continue reading That feeling when you’ve overlooked the obvious (in your fish tank)…
Blitz Q #158: When your sleeping patterns have been interrupted for a while, which is the worse scenario…?
I've pondered this one for years and still can't make up my mind on which would be worse when you've had lousy sleep for a week or so, and then one morning either: A. You wake up, and you're wide awake. Not a trace of sleepiness, must've been a deep sleep. You're awake enough that … Continue reading Blitz Q #158: When your sleeping patterns have been interrupted for a while, which is the worse scenario…?
Getting past a week of migraines through rest, yard work, & glasses… who knew?
I've been offline the past several days because I had a hard time concentrating through the pain. I hated it because I wanted to read posts and catch up on what has been happening. Well, some interesting things helped knock my migraines and eye pain out, things I didn't expect.

I think I FINALLY managed to bore myself out of my usual procrastination methods…
It's been a hard road to slog through, and I've fallen way behind on some things and barely touched others. My days and evenings have been full of obsessively playing video games, hoping to reach ever-elusive goals. And then, while doing that, making new reading lists for the year (because my files weren't saving right … Continue reading I think I FINALLY managed to bore myself out of my usual procrastination methods…
I’m going to have to say goodbye to the humble potato…
While I'm pleased my first pot roast came out just fine, it seems I might not be able to enjoy it terribly often in the future. Mainly because I like having pot roast over mashed potatoes like always in life. This week, though, revealed that the food gods have decided to laugh at me and … Continue reading I’m going to have to say goodbye to the humble potato…

My Copy: 9780425213575 (image from bn.com) I skipped this book to the head of the line when I was about to go to the hospital for scoping procedures and knew my eating habits would need to be changed.

Happy Thanksgiving… & now for some WTF from our new Supreme Court.
This is super early and I know more details will come, but I already know I'm most definitely not leaving the house much if at all the next few weeks. By this weekend, the brushfire's gonna sweep the country. And I'm in the Bible Belt. Okay, Big Thing in the Sky, could you knock some … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving… & now for some WTF from our new Supreme Court.
Thanksgiving 2020 plans; or, it’s a Thursday that happens to feature turkey or ham…
I'm checking the weather report about tomorrow. My dogs had some "pup-kin pie," the filling that didn't fit in the pie shells that I poured into Pyrex bowls to cook separately (they were so happy). I'd planned to make baked potatoes for over a week and had some veggies I needed to use up, so … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2020 plans; or, it’s a Thursday that happens to feature turkey or ham…
