Hi Darling Ones, Let’s lighten things up a bit here in Supergeniusland. Enough of the life and death of it all. Instead I’m gonna write about my cats. I was just sitting here resting after vacuuming this place and messaging with a friend about my cats. I was grinning because she’s funny and also because I realized that I am so fortunate to have so many crazy cat ladies in my life. My mom is A-#1 crazy cat lady and…
Dear Darling Ones, My first thought this morning upon opening my eyes was of my dad. He died in September 2022. His death was not a surprise. He had warned us off and on for the year leading to his death that he was ready and tired of fighting. He had not been in good health since 2015? He was diabetic with congenital heart failure, he had surgery to remove lung cancer in 2016 and ended up having a stroke…
Hey Darling Ones, I should have written this appreciation post before today. Today I’m a sourpuss who is sick of everything I usually love. I’m restless and bored and cranky. At physical therapy Wednesday, the formerly grumpy guy who checks in patients and is now nice to me asked, “Any COVID symptoms or new travel?” They ask me this every time I go in. Every. Single. Time. It’s not quite so ridiculous now that I only go in once a…

This means I’m responsible for all of the taxes and social security and other things I probably should know. Every year my taxes are pretty hefty and while it hurts I always remind myself about the existence of public libraries and then I don’t feel so bad paying my taxes. I love the public library,…
Hello Darling Ones, How are you? You know if you ever want to say how you are you can leave a comment or email me or message/@ me on various platforms. Just giving you that option. As for me, I’m still down in the dumps. I didn’t get any LEGOs for Easter, BFK still dislikes me, and my tremor continues to be a dramatic son of a bitch. Kind. Yesterday my physical therapist made me do sit-to-stands in the pool….
Hi Darling Ones, The first of the month is known by two things around these parts. I consider it Filter Day and Los Gatitos consider it Friend Liberation Day. It’s Filter Day because it’s the day I change all the filters, and by that I mean two of them. The furnace’s air filter and the coffee maker’s charcoal filter that does something, I think. On certain months there are four filters to change, the one for the water in the…
