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.

Gray Day For A Funeral

I have not been to a funeral since that one for my Son Mark (Ribcage). I was hoping there would be no more until my own. It's not that I want to die or something, just that I'm older than any of my relatives and friends and so it seems that it should be my turn, but that's not the way it works. This...

Why?

Why am I so intimidated by my laptop? Is it simply that I am old and it is not? Could it be because I often lose things and cannot get them back? Is it because my limitations are so obvious as compared to its possibilities? Is it because in these days my fingers fumble and hit wrong keys?...my eyes... Sign in to see full entry.

Not Yet Resigned, But Nearly There

Thick as pea soup are the workings of my mental powers on this dismal day that has only worsened since I returned from being out in it. And on this murky day my lease arrived on the computer for me to read and sign all 37 pages, make copies for myself, and other necessities to attest to, and my... Sign in to see full entry.

One Has To Have Colcannon

I'm already thinking about corned beef and cabbage and colcannon and it is making me drool. St. Patrick's Day is on the way and I have nothing green to wear--at least not the Irish green. I used to have a pretty neck scarf that color but I don't know whatever happened to it. But, I'll be singing "Oh... Sign in to see full entry.
