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.

Superman Brought Down

Not long ago I told my Florida Son that he was doing too much for a man who had turned 60 and that he needed to have some time for relaxation and taking care of himself. He has a full-time job that is very demanding, has been for some time doing a lot of work on his house to make it new again, has... Sign in to see full entry.

Murky Thoughts

On this dark, damp, dreary day of doodling and dragging my thoughts behind me as if they weighed a ton, I remembered a family on my husband's side of relatives that I had heard nothing about since most of the people in that family line have passed away. The Missionary Conference that I mentioned on... Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Have Gold In Your Portfolio?

I happen to be one of the few people in this life who has never striven for riches in abundance, rather being satisfied with "daily bread" and needs met as they come up. In fact, I have never acquired "a portfolio" or gold coins to place in it. I don't "play" with the stock market, and I use my... Sign in to see full entry.

One Of Those Blah Days

No, not blah blah blah. When I'm having a blah day, I don't do much talking to anyone. It is already evening today and I have verbally said one sentence to someone who stopped at the door. Even computer talk has been very limited and I have totally ignored the phone. Now and then I get that way. Not... 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.
