My youngest turned 43 today. The daddy to my Rugrats, the jack-of-all-trades who, at the moment, is working 80 hours+ a week during the rush of the tire season. He’s an industrial mechanic, a singer in a band (with their own CD), a plumber, an electrician, a construction dude, a hunter (unfortunately), a daredevil onContinue reading “THE BIRTHDAY…AND THE RASH”

Sorry, folks! Just after posting last Saturday, I stumbled over one of the dogs – my fault – I know that at least one of them is always lying on the floor right beside me, no matter where I am, but I didn’t pay attention. It worsened the sore back situation; intentions went out theContinue reading “A LONG WEEK”

Karen got home on Thursday, hauling stuff in from her car to the house through pouring rain, so was thoroughly wet when she finally came upstairs carrying a 2 litre jar of olives (one of my favorite foods) and a large brick of aged cheddar cheese (another of my favorites). The beasts were ecstatic inContinue reading “AND SHE’S HOME”

I was still up when my daughter started her work day at 5 AM. We sent our good mornings by text, then chatted about the weekend get together, she sent me some photos of a renovation project she has been working on – our usual banter while most people are still sleeping or just rising.Continue reading “THE DAY BEFORE TODAY”

Wow – already 6 days since I last posted. Time just slipping by. I did work longer hours, and my Little Flea was here more often after my shifts, and there was supper to prepare for her daddy in the evening and the extra after meal cleanup. The list goes on. My son’s surgery wasContinue reading “THE WEEK”

I did write a post at 3:30 AM this morning. I left off posting it until I would get up at 8 with the beasts, wanting to read it over and edit it as I usually do. Problem is, I tried to edit it before finishing my first coffee because I was anxious to returnContinue reading “BLOOPER”

I was tired before I even started my shift yesterday, so was in bed with the beasts by 9 last night. I woke up every hour for bathroom use – can’t figure out why because I didn’t drink much of anything before hitting the sack – but fortunately I went right back to sleep eachContinue reading “MONDAY”

We know what propaganda means, and most of us realize that we are being bombarded with it on a regular basis, and have been for years and years. Much of it is of a political nature but there also seems to constant ‘wise’ little sayings and proclamations telling us that happiness can only be foundContinue reading “SUNDAY MORNING RANT”

I’m spoiled. I admit it. And one of the things I enjoy spoiling myself with is my heated attached garage.  Although the stairs to go down to it are a killer, I have not had to clean snow off my car, sit my fanny down on a freezing seat when leaving, use an umbrella, orContinue reading “SPOILED OR WHAT?”

Woke up at 3 AM when my bedroom fan went off. Oops – no electricity! I groggily tried to remember if I had filled the beasts’ water bowl last night. I wasn’t sure, so got up to check. No hydro means no water out here. In the kitchen I looked out to see a goodContinue reading “THOSE DUNANY DEMONS!”
