Inevitable

It came today in the mail. I didn't know exactly when it would come, but I knew it would...and that the time was getting short, oh so short. It doesn't bother me like I thought it would. It came today, bringing many memories of places, memories, fun I've had, responsibilities, a wreck or two along... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking No Chances

So, here I am at my Gmail site composing a letter to myself that I intend to use as a post for Blogit, which I hope to copy and paste without problem after I get it just right. The morning after the night in which the two children were running around in my yard laughing and playing at 2:00 a.m.,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Wonder...

Last night.... I was dragged out of a deep sleep by sounds of children laughing delightedly outside of my bedroom window. Groggily I lifted my head from off of my pillow and squinted (not having my glasses on) at the clock that glows in the dark....2:05 a.m. What???? I separated the slats of the...

Gray, Damp Days Do Me In

I know it must have something to do with my advanced age, but..... And, I hate to complain when I'm not suffering at all, but... When are we going to get some sunshine around this place. This is at least the third day of wet and nasty and it makes me so sleepy. On top of that, without warning this... Sign in to see full entry.

Procrastination Is My Forte

It wasn't always so. At least, I always did do the things I liked to do, quickly and efficiently. I put the things I didn't really like to do toward the end of my list of things to do. My list of things I needed to do, even when I was young and energetic, was made on little 3x5 cards so that I could... Sign in to see full entry.

Isn't That The Way It Goes?

A long, long time ago a poem now and then would come to me rather easily it seems words falling into place marching across the page with grace, rhythm, and ease though overuse of elision was a symptom of my inept confusion and inability to please even myself. Yesterday when I was young and thoughts... Sign in to see full entry.

Cut The Rug When The Music Plays

I just turned my heat up for the second time today. What happened to spring? It is almost May and I am not barefoot in my home as I usually am from May to November. I love going barefoot inside, but I had to go back to a pair of my fuzzy socks. I know, I know, it's not May yet but it will be here by... Sign in to see full entry.

Fun With The Green

Sometimes I get in a cooking rut, can't think of a thing to do differently, and in despair eat things that I know are not necessarily good for me (like chocolate drops, or just tasty crackers, or peanut butter by the spoonful. I know that I'm the only one that does that but when I'm in that mood I... Sign in to see full entry.

April Showers With a Big Bang

In the kitchen of course....when one lives alone meals and snacks can be anytime one takes a notion...when the electricity went out. It went out with a really big bang. Right before the bang there was a big flash of light right in the kitchen with me. It kind of shook me up. But before I could... Sign in to see full entry.

Locked Up Tight As A Drum

Well, I'm not surprised that my Facebook account has been locked, due to some "unusual activity" they say. I think I will not try to get it back. That happened to me several years ago and I got back on but I lost the use of what I had already and had to begin all over again. Although, on second... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I accidentally erased my whole Perplexities blog and everything that was in it from 2004 on. So-o-o-o-o-o, I'm beginning it again. Wonder how far I'll get before I make another big mistake.
