Category: In Which We Mock Our Husband

Trying is a series on Apple TV which is the very antithesis of Cape Fear. That’s all I needed to be roped in. Got me at “not Cape Fear.” Plus, it has Imelda Staunton and she is marvelous, of course. I should not be all in on this show, because I am not the demographic.…

The receptionist at the gastroenterologist said that either Amber or Aqua would be out to walk us to the exam room, and Gary asked if they’d be dressed color-coded by name. I had argued with Gary that I should be in the room for this visit, because there have been a number of visits in…

If Gary ever gets a new love I will know how I will be treated. He will be treat me like trash, an impediiment to his happiness, a nuisance getting in the way of his new love. How do I know this? I see how he treats the raccoons. He stomps in from the backyard.…

Pre-reading assignment if you haven’t seen the US breaking bowel news: News on the outbreak from Reuters. (Notable for not using the word “explosive”.) I felt pretty lousy Monday afternoon.

And that man is … Gary! And the something he wants me to do is … buy an adjustable bed! That’s the end though, is it not? Some people say the end is the day they get the AARP card. But I say it’s the bed. I do still make a shaky guttural sound when…

Gary’s already been quite successful in luring the songbirds. Lots of Cardinals, of course, but also bright yellow puffball chickadees. I got very excited when he said he’d seen a bluebird eating the mealworms in the specialized bluebird feeder, but sad to say it was a blue jay, not a legit bluebird. We all know…

Well, we are those neighbors. We have been cited by our local health department for feeding the wildlife. This, of course, is the Royal “We”. Then again, I suppose I am complicit. I did clean up the mess for years. And of course, what makes Gary happy makes me happy. However, I also support living…

Previously seen on Real Deer of My Subdivision: Two days ago a doe and two fawns were in our yard. Mom left one of the two fawns behind in our yard. Hours later the fawn was gone. One day ago a mystery neighbor posted in community Facebook page there was a fawn in his landscaping.…
