Mizzry luvs company

Been feeling down the last couple days, dunno why particularly. I mean there’s always a reason if you do a CSI look-see, some real life dissonance that could be the underlying reason. But I had a three-hat day on Monday. In case you’re wondering what a 3-hat day is It takes an hour or so to crochet... Sign in to see full entry.

Old Song Lyrics

Heard someone talk about Patsy Cline on a discussion about the Country Music Awards a day or so ago. There’s never been anybody quite like Patsy Cline. They still use her voice to sell cars – forget what car it was for, but someone was driving on one of those mythical empty roads in a convertible to... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday is a 4-letter word (plus 2)

Ever have a Monday when you didn’t want to think about or do anything? Ever want to just roll over, pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep? Unless you have to go to work, That’s the kind of day when you bury yourself in minutiae: · Dust and rearrange all the clutter on your bookcase. ·... Sign in to see full entry.

IN A MINUTE

Even as one sips her morning coffee, her neighbor across the way adjusts her prosthetic leg. Her left foot was amputated a year ago because of diabetes. The sisters next door sleep in. School’s out until Monday and there are no lessons to plan, no papers to read, the parish accounts are all in... Sign in to see full entry.

EASY-PEASY RECIPE

Some time ago Wiley Coyote here on Blogit posted a recipe for vegetable soup using the Knorr Veggie soup mix, and I’ve used that as seasoning for chicken and beef soups ever since. YUM. Lately I found another use for the Knorr company’s spring vegetable seasoning. I dumped a package of it into a... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm thankful for the caregivers

Doc’s Words I asked him how he was, mentioned that he’d been my heart guy for 8 years now, and he looked down at the chart, and agreed it had been August of 2008 when he was called in. It seems I’d had a serious A-Fib incident during the hours after my surgery, and they’d moved me up from surgical... Sign in to see full entry.

Turkey Day

Dealing with some issues this month, thank heaven I got a clean bill of health from my Doc., and BP down where it should be 138/68. Spent Tues. morning at the center, stuffing the Dec. newsletter for mailing, I got well over half of it together before the end of my shift, and Michele’s got a team of... Sign in to see full entry.

I think I'm suffering from emotional sunburn. I'm catching myself flaming inside at the slightest of slights, the common insensitivity of the unaware who don't know enough to thank their lucky stars they don't know what they don't know. I've been whining to myself, to the universe, about some...

Something’s Stirring

In the early ‘70s I worked for a freight company that hauled gas, oil and propane (also anhydrous ammonia – a liquid fertilizer) to all the little nooks and crannies of Illinois, from the manufacturing plant or refinery to the local gas stations, farm suppliers, etc. I was a billing clerk, computing...
