Another pharmacy run today…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
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 took some pictures yesterday…

Better to post pretty pictures than scream about the damned squirrel already stealing small green tomatoes from my plants.

Bone weary
Posted by doggonedmysteries
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?

Time was…we danced…we don’t any more.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Sitting here watching the British comedy ‘As Time Goes By’ when in the final scene Jean and Lionel slow dance.
It made me cry.
Why?
Because it’s one thing I truly miss. The Curmudgeon and I used to dance together a lot.
Now he can’t get around without a rollator. No more dances for us.

Still waiting for the black iris to bloom
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I was hoping to have a picture or two of this year’s blooms, but the buds haven’t opened yet. In a few more days they should open and I’ll get some pictures.
In the meantime, these are from last year.
Die scammer die!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Six cups of coffee.
Two five-hour energy drinks.
And I am still falling asleep at the keyboard.
All thanks to our old fiend the Microsoft scammer. (No, I didn’t misspell it he is a fiend.)
This Microsoft scam caller woke me at 8:30 a.m. (I went to bed after 4 a.m.)
Please make his day eventful!!!!

Opening line…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
For about a week now I have had an opening line buzzing around in my brain. Nothing else, just an opening line.
Not an idea, well… maybe an inkling of an idea, but not much else.
I did write it down.
I’d hate to lose it because I rather like it.

Writing a blank page
Posted by doggonedmysteries
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.

Really? More rain? Ugh, I’d rather be at the conference.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
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.

Yes, I am a gaming idiot
Posted by doggonedmysteries
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.
