  • Once More Unto the Breach, Dear Friends, Once More

    Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war, because I am doing battle here in the House of S_________.As part of my strategy, I haven’t officially declared war. Gary has no idea tensions have escalated to this point. It’s just that I went in to the bathroom, to urinate, to relieve my bladder, if…

  • Bright Spot of My Day

    Judith just sent this to my mailbox. Gary fell for it for a moment, then cautioned me that it might download a payload to my laptop. It’s pretty remarkable, how they did this. Can’t embed it, but here’s a screen grab:

  • Well, That Clears That Up

    Today I met with the bereavement counselor. I agreed with him that the sobbing was to be expected, but explained I could not be spontaneously bursting into tears at work.“What triggers your tears at work?” he asked.“Nothing,” I sniffled, “I’l be working and then I start to cry. And it’s boring, I mean it’s annuities…

  • Radio Talk Show

    Such an excess of nothing happened today that I have nothing to say. All I can do is betray my family by telling you tales of their foolishness.KMOX Talk Radio, Circa 1985One weekend while I was engaged to Gary I was driving to see my parents. Dad was at my parent’s house. Across the Saint…

  • Lost

    Okay, Dots, big and small, raise your hands if you DID sit there smugly and say “she’s repressing her feelings about her Mom’s death.” That was when I said, “No, I’m crazy. I am not myself. I just said someone hurt my feelings. For two solid days. I’m not like that.” And then YOU said,…

  • In Which I Lie

    Remember when I said I didn’t wanna up my meds? Well, since then I’ve cried at the dentist again, got my feelings hurt at work, and cried about that, and cried about that all day today including the forty minutes I spent in the bathroom while having lunch with Friend #3. My emotions are out…

  • How To Cook Rice

    I missed a Pampered Chef Party last Friday, and I’ll be missing another one in a few weeks. This is my problem. I go to Pampered Chef parties. I listen to the presenter quietly for about half an hour. Then I watch my hand go up in the air as she is describing a special…

  • Bibles That Make You Go Hmm.

    You know I love alternative religious texts. Well, read up on this one, a bible that’s been hiding in Russia since the mid 1800’s. It’s the “oldest surviving copy of the New Testament,” dating back to the 4th century, when I understand the Gospels were written [down] – and it has no post-resurrection details at…

  • Movie Review

    I have my moments of darkness. I have little moments of perversion. I am mentally ill. But I am not as sick as the sick fuck who wrote The Dark Knight.First, I was misled about this movie. I quizzed a guy at work, “Are there a lot of car chases? My mind wanders during car…

  • Nobody puts Mommy in a Corner etc.

    Today I cleaned, and purged, and that was significant since it was the first time I’d done it since I brought some of Mom’s stuff home. Most of Mom’s stuff is now in the top corner of my closet. I purged medicines, nose sprays, nose clippers, anything that had been up Mom’s nose, etc. and…
