Sunny Sunday!

As I was making breakfast, the back door slightly open, Zorro stepped in for a brief visit. Yesterday when I went downstairs to the garage, Olaf (formerly known as Big Orange Cat) was loafing on the guest bed, but didn't stay when I came in. Charlie said he saw the lovely big-ruffed tabby the other day, but that fella has not visited since I got home, that I am aware of. Out on the deck, the wind-storms in December battered the reed fencing and knocked the dove nest silly. That cleared out a lot... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Birthday, Z!

Oh, Baby! Here you are, at last-- a little lad with family ready as they can be to welcome you, to open and reveal the world to you, to open to you themselves and discover who you are and what you, too reveal... Welcome! May your path be bright and joyous, your life full of delight and laughter of the loving kind! The child I wrote this for, the son of a niece, was born 15 years ago today.

A message from TAPS

Copy/pasted by request from our TAPS from her latest over on Facebook... For some reason my computer problems tell me that there is no longer such a thing on my computer as Blogit. I don't understand that but there are other things missing too. Along with everything else, I had a TIA the other day. I am fine except for the fact it has hampered my dealing with numbers and letters especially on the keyboard. I'm doing hunt and peck instead of my usual fast pace. Florida Son (Preacher) is going...

Into the Weekend...!

So, running down the final row of today's numbers of clicks on my blogs: 66697 Waking today--once at 4am, then again at 7--I feel the benefit of yesterday's busy-ness, and ready to get on with today's new set of Things To Do. I started with swallowing my morning half-hour-before-eating pill, then going back to bed to finish finally the last of the last book of the series I've been reading. Then there was feeding the betta in the tank by my bed his breakfast, one grain at a time. I think he must... Sign in to see full entry.

Downs and Ups

Last night I went to bed feeling glum and isolated. I woke this morning still feeling sad, tears on the threshold. After spending yesterday mostly sitting and online, I decided that today I need to accomplish some things, because that and moving around is a very good treatment for the glums. This morning I've set out fresh food and warm water for the Community Cats. I've prepared Marika's birthday gift for shipping. Her birthday was Jan 11. I found the tyvex envelope for that letter I wrote on... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you watch the numbers?

When I started with Blogit quite a few years ago, I obsessed with some of the number. I watched where my pennies went, I watched how many visitors came in day by day. I kept track of my position on various counts like 'most read' and 'most comments' and where I was compared to other writers in numbers of clicks. That was early days... Now, I generally check the average pennies coming in day by day--this month so far it's ~.11 per day. Sometimes it's less, occasionally as much more as.20/day. Not... Sign in to see full entry.

Results are in

Charlie and I, to our surprise, both tested negative for covid with the PCR test. There has been some notion, though it is arguable, that type makes a difference. We are both O+, and early research suggested that O is less susceptible to serious infection by covid. More recent research suggests that early research was not as meaningful as all that. We are still both type O, and negative. Also vaxxed and boosted, so there's that. Sign in to see full entry.

Sunday and still waiting...

Here is Sunday nearly gone, and no results from our covid PCR tests last Thursday. We are both feeling pretty much okay, in any case. I have been napping just about every day, but that's normal for me. In part, I lie down to not be sitting on my still-aching tailbone, start reading, and doze off. Dozing while reading is a strange thing: I wander off the words in the book and their images, to my own images which are sometimes quite as interesting as the written ones. There is an in-between place... Sign in to see full entry.

Freya's Day

Chilly this afternoon, but not cold. Kind of a relief, even though only 40F and grey-skied. Yesterday the testing got done, and while it didn't hurt, it was not all that pleasant. They say it's kind of a tickle, but it isn't a nice tickle. What was great, though, was the tech who did the testing. He was a young black man with an oddness to his speaking I couldn't place. So as there was no one waiting behind us, I asked. New Zealand! He's from New Zealand! We had a nice chat about the beauty of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Day that is Thor's

It's a hoarfrost morning! All the trees, branch, twig, needle and whatever leaves still cling, are frosted white in an atmosphere of fog and cold, cold air! It is 13F outside, and last night I left the heat on low and the sliding back door just wide enough open for a cat to come in. Zorro, in fact, visited around 3AM, waking the birds who wakened me. Zorro finds the birds way too interesting, as is hardly surprising! I came out when the bird-alarm went off, and Zorro was startled and ran back... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I'm doubtful the events of my life will be of great general interest, but I'd like to share a little more of me to the several of you on Blogit I've come to feel are real friends, and the many I imagine are potentially real friends. We'll see how it works out. ______________________ all my words and images posted on Blogit are copyright 2005-present, all rights reserved.
