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.

Moving, Moving Always Downgrading

People's incomes are not keeping up with their expenditures which become debts. An example is the continuous moving in and shortly back out of this apartment complex--people who just can't quite make it. It seems to be a step downward in their scale of living because one has to pay the two-months... Sign in to see full entry.

Too Many Chocolate Easter Eggs

It has been a very nice and pleasant, but long and tiring, Easter Sunday. It's just that life with Grandson Phil is not your average Grandma/Grandson relationship. Phil being 38 years old physically and 2 - 3 mentally does keep one busy to keep him interested and involved without making messes to... Sign in to see full entry.

Watching Again...

Yesterday I bought an adventure book from a CVS store where I had stopped to buy chocolate Easter Eggs for Grandson Phil for tomorrow. I read in the evening and into the night. But this afternoon, I was going to continue reading and found an old movie was on tv...one I have seen several times. The... Sign in to see full entry.

There Is Sunshine In My Soul Today (singing here)

I had "fun" trimming my toenails this morning. The position that it takes to do it is no longer comfortable for me, especially since I have been experiencing bone and joint aches for a week. But, I got it done and I'm up and "attum". Going out for brunch today with my lovely Sis. Sign in to see full entry.

Oh The Blithe & Insouciant Mindset

I'm not very often perplexed any more so I guess I really should change the name of this blog. The older I get, the more I just take things as they come and putter along. If I can't deal with a problem, I just go to bed and take a nap. If I can't understand something complicated, I just say to... 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.
