  • "It's terribly sad when we lose people," she opined, her eyes shiny with real tears. Or was it glycerin? Dabbing with the linen handkerchief about the reddened pockets holding her eyes. She looked every bit the part o…

  • It was a great day to be a fireman in Ripton. For that matter, it was a great day to be a denizen of Ripton. The Ripton Women's Group outdid themselves. The tables in the front lot of the station were festooned with r…

  • Never a good sign when I start listening to Court and Spark over and over again. Already it is Sunday morning. Boy Wonder flew the coop early to retrieve Beloved FirstBorn from the farm. He's working at A&W this m…

  • We went for a ride this afternoon. The mission: to get the chief jeans. We took the long way home and visited friends. I snapped pictures on my way around the various parts of the state we visited. I'll have them deve…

  • My greatest ambition today is to have no ambition. In a short while, I will place the iguana in the apple tree. I will take my sweet tepid Earl Grey to sit amongst the high bush blueberries. They are heavy with fruit…

  • Nothing quite says summer and Home Health so much as picking old people's toenail clippings off one's sweaty breasts after an afternoon of nail care that had more than one client with nails like these. They are an abs…

  • What did you learn today? About yourself, about being human ? About being here, now? I learned that it is far easier for me to have compassion for the person complaining behind me in the long line at the general stor…

  • My home has an excess of testosterone right now. Loud, enthusiastic eighteen to twenty year old testosterone. I love it. The boys have friends over and they're gaming. Hackmaster. Tons of fun. I've locked myself in…

  • What To Do When One's Spouse Would Rather Jack Off In Front Of The Computer Than Have Sex With Their Partner For the record, this is not a problem I have with my current spouse. At least he has that going for him rig…

  • I'm thinking of taking the tent and Harry Potter up to Silver Lake for the weekend. OR maybe I'll spend the time in the hammock in the back yard. I don't want much time around people. Unfortunately, I may be working…

  • I'm noticing a pattern here at home lately. My husband lures me into bed with promises of wild romance. Only at some point, I fall asleep. It's certainly not happening after all that wild romance. I think it's a plot…

  • Ten hours for home health yesterday. Probably another eight today. I've another admission today and four fairly straightforward visits. Hopefully, it won't be too bad. It'a beautiful day out again today. Clear blue…

  • The house is quiet save for my tapping fingers and the strains of Coyote Oldman floating through the house. My spouse's rhythmic breathing is not yet loud enough to stray into this room as he deepens into sleep in the n…

  • More home health today. And through the weekend. I think my next weekend off is the first weekend in August. No scheduled days off til them. I'm grateful I have an opportunity to make my living while helping others. …

  • I've just finished advising someone not to burn their bridges, to show compassion and gratitude to someone, who while aiding her in a time of need, has done so with a less than charitable nature. Which brings me to thin…

  • Beloved Firstborn leaves the West Coast tomorrow. He'll be back in state on Sunday and I can't wait to get my hands on the boy and hug the stuffing out of him. And in the few weeks between his arrival and the departure…

  • Yesterday's R&R has helped. I took my body to PT and found out I'd put my hips out of alignment when I was kneeling on the floor with my hand in my friend's vagina to alleviate the bleeding. Yes, I was wearing glov…

  • My brain is hot. I rarely see fit to complain about weather conditions, but this is one of those days when a touch of relief from heat and humidity would be most welcome. On the other hand, the blueberries on the high …

  • Some conversations are designed to go humorously, horribly wrong. Tonight Seamstress_for_the_band stopped by with a friend of hers. She's a friend of Boy Wonder's. She said she was stopping by because they were in t…

  • I'm not much liking this bitch I am becoming, Ugly, insecure, whiny. Sometimes I have to let her out, Usually when I feel threatened, frightened, alone. Then she mows over any shred of adult thought I ever entertaine…

  • Check book is within the safety zone and overdue threatening bills are paid. We went out for ice cream and listened to the Red Sox blow the last minute, bottom of the ninth opportunity to beat the Yankees tonight. G…

  • This day is immersed in bags and bags of paper. I've sorted out all of this year's receipts, sorted through bills, paid one, and now look at the somewhat daunting task of figuring out the checkbook. And it's almost t…

  • Two meltdowns. I can feel the stress draining away. I'm thinking lime popsicles are the best anger management tool left on the planet. Spouse has been called into work for a broken bed. I think a little bit of separa…

  • I know I wrote that I would take care of myself, but so far I am sucking at it. I went to bed at 1815 last night. Didn't sleep solidly, but slept until 10ish this morning. My back hurts from the positions I got into t…

  • Who will take care of me? They clamor for me to take care of them. Who will take care of me? I am the only one who knows what I need. Who will take care of me? Do I dare step forth to claim what is mine? Not everyo…

  • I'm fried. I've been up since 0430. Had one of my more challenging days at home health. mostly because some old fart not getting enough oxygen to his brain decided it would be more fun to be belligerant and slash me w…

  • There are days when I don't much care for the behaviors exhibited by my immediate family members. Today is one of them. It would seem that one of them looked at some porn and erotic stories and OOOPS! accidently left t…

  • The first day at the latest new job went much better than expected. It came out yesterday that the person who hired me had not communicated my schedule adequately with me- or anyone else. This morning he apologized to …

  • BIG WATTS YOU ROCK! GREAT RESULTS AT SUMMER NATIONALS!

  • Four broken bats.....and counting. I start at my latest new job tomorrow. Send out some positive energy for me. I need it to calm my nerves and be centered. Back to the all star game. Blessings abound

  • When I am reacquaint myself with those from my past, it behooves me to remember who am now. I spent a lot of time these past few days with people from Searsport- people who I know love me and some who don't- and I found…

  • Despite my not making the reservations until an hour ago, we got the rate for the wedding that expired June 20th. Despite my having hidden the credit cards so well I could not find them, my husband ,"put myself in your …

  • I am so tired. Yet, I feel the need to write. I am now off for five days. This is a good thing. I will spend time with husband. This is a necessary thing that will hopefully turn out to be a good thing. Right now i…

  • My old friend is back. You know, the one that's trying to teach me when to say no. Saturday I had a call from a former client who happens to cut my hair. Sounded positively desperate with whip lash, wanting nursely ad…

  • I'm not really sure what's up with me of late, but I am really not wanting to leave home. We ended up going to the parade in Bristol today against my better judgement. I felt like crap and eventually it caught up with …

  • I've had mixed feelings about writing soldiers fighting in our current war. I've only written a wee bit- and then only to someone I know. To write mass post cards to an individual who has chosen a life to which I am di…

  • It is so quiet and dark tonight. All that can be heard outside is the rushing water down the road. The high humming buzz of a solitary mosquito. The thrum of the fans within the house. The thud of my hand against my …

  • Doing a bit better. Took that much needed nap. Enlisted BW and TC to clean the house. IT is looking much better now, except for the latest installment of laundry on the couch. Otherwise, bathroom is cleaned, floors m…

  • I need some quiet time. Before that comes, I need to disgorge. If you want to keep what ever good mood you have, move along. Unless, of course, listening to me whine will make you feel as if you've got a tiger by the t…
