Yesterday I wrote my 1500th post, and that doesn’t include all the ones I’ve deleted over the years! I finished sewing the last four masks yesterday, and put away my sewing machine for a little while. Not for long, but I wanted to be able to get to stuff on the shelves behind it. Started…

Last night was not a success. I discovered that I was out of melatonin. I read a book until 1 a.m. – a real book in print – “This Must Be the Place” by Maggie O’Farrell. I recommend it. There was heavy rain and it sounded soothing, but at 2 a.m. I took a Xanax.…

I am going to try to continue to write or post a photo every day, even if I make my post private. The other day I wrote for an hour and then deleted the whole thing. It still made me feel better to write it. I was a diary and book making kid – I…

Well, this is certainly a crap shoot, isn’t it? But I will take a stab at it. I can at least visualize what I hope for. I actually started writing this post several days ago just in case I got a case of the blues and couldn’t do it. But I woke up fairly bright…

Well, there won’t be anything exciting in this post, as you might guess. But it is a tradition for me. In January, I only posted once, on New Year’s Day, with my aspirations for the year ahead. Of course, nobody could see what was coming. Sandy retired on Dec. 31, so this was his first…

I spent most of the past 24 hours in bed, and boy am I feeling it. I was really surprised when I slept eleven hours last night, mostly solid. Sandy remarked that it is because of depression, and I suppose that he is right. Another reminder that depression is not sadness, because I don’t particularly…

Pablocito posed in perfect lighting for a photo shoot yesterday. Sandy started taking photos and then I took some from a different angle. I love the Batcat shadow. This also had the purpose of being my “before” photo of the chest of drawers, which hasn’t been cleaned off since at least 2017, since I found…

My favorite Christmas song. I just can’t abide the syrupy bouncy ones any more. I do love some of the old crooners like Sinatra and Clooney, though. One year, we had a receptionist that was quite mentally ill and very angry at me and the office manager. That December she had gotten another job on…

I am hardly even pretending that I am celebrating Christmas this year. Honestly, it feels like any other day. I did turn on the Christmas lights on the front porch, which I never take down. The good news is that the Flickr project is officially done. I don’t have to worry about my links being…
