Why? Because his idiot parents designed the kitchen and only left room for a very small one. The second one gives me spill-over room.

We’d used our original coppertone fridge for a spill-over fridge when we got a new one about five years ago. (That one had to fit in the small space where the coppertone one was. So it too is small of stature and room.)

So when our 43-year-old coppertone (our original refrigerator) died, I needed a new one to replace it.

The new one, being on the back porch, has only one size restraint. It had to fit through the doors.

Time to make a huge bowl of potato salad now that I have room to put it away.

I bought cherries today. I held these two up to show the Curmudgeon.

“Look! Cherry scrotum!

I’m a sick, sick person. Yep.

I avoided watching the news yesterday.

I tried to stay off Face Book as much as possible.

Why?

I couldn’t stand all the hate mongering.

Too much hate.

Too much violence.

And way too much political bull shit.

From all indications it should be a good day to work in the yard today.

Low to mid seventies with a nice breeze.

If my back holds out long enough I might get some of the side beds cleared of weeds and ready for mulching.

I am picturing pulling out my hammock stand and setting my hammock up for escape reading.

If only the weather stays dry enough for long enough.

Here it is already plunging towards mid June and I haven’t had a chance to get anything done outside. It’s either been too wet or too hot.

I hope we get some nice days for a long enough time to enjoy them.

Sitting here staring at the junk pile that is my desk. I cannot believe how much accumulation there is. I need to somehow find the time and energy to clear it off and organize it once again.

Maybe clearing my desk will make me move on around the room and clean up the clutter.

Once the living room is uncluttered can the kitchen be far behind?

The back porch?

The second floor?

The attic?

Yeah, like that will ever happen.

I feel as though I spend half my time in the pharmacy.

Yesterday, I sat waiting for prescriptions that they didn’t have and they neglected to tell me that. The ones they did have, they could have told me were ready, and not let me wait forever for the fictional third one.

Oh, yeah. The fictional third one is ready today so back I go. UGH!

This is why I have all mine sent by mail.

I can’t understand why I feel tired to the marrow of my bones every danged day.

I do know that my eyes won’t close before 4 a.m. no matter how tired I am.

Lucy, without fail wakes me around 9 a.m. to go out and will go back to bed until around 10:30 or 11.

If I have a huge need for or desire for a nap in the afternoon, then everyone and his brother calls me or rings the doorbell.

Sleep …the breakfast of champions?

Yes, I tend to stare at a blank page for what seems like forever. The words don’t come. I’ve lost my words.

People tell me to relax, they will come back. I’m not so sure.

I had an opening for a book pop into my head yesterday and had to scramble for a pen and paper so I wouldn’t lose it like I’ve lost so many words before.

May that MRI I had will find them.

You have to be kidding me. Rain and more rain all the way until Tuesday night.

I wouldn’t mind so much if I were down in Lancaster enjoying the Pennwriters Conference. This is the third one I’ve missed. I miss all my friends and the stimulation of writerly and bookish conversations of which I have none.

The Curmudgeon hasn’t read a book in years. His biggest contribution to a conversation is “I haven’t seen that commercial before.” (And it’s been running for months.) Or something along that line.

Color me blue and deeply depressed.

Some days I feel like a gaming idiot when I play my Age of Empires Castle Siege.

The former Emperor left and threw his mantle on my shoulders. I didn’t ask for it.

So, I now find myself as an Emperor in a game, a game of the sort I’d always avoided before. An MMORPG. For those that have no idea and I know a few of my readers are of them. It means Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

They always scared me (playing against and with a gazillion people) so I stayed away from them. Turns out that, although I am bad at it, I am enjoying the heck out of it.

My apologies to my fellow members of our alliance that I am not as proficient as most of you are, but I’ll get there. Just give an old gal some time to catch up on the skill set.
