Some days staring at the ceiling makingfriends with shadows on my wallSome nights hearing voices telling methat I should get some sleep because tomorrow might be good for something. Hold on, feeling like I’m headed for a breakdown and I don’t know why (I might have a vague idea) I’m not crazy I’m just a little unwell (a little???)I know right now you can’t tellBut stay awhile and maybe then…

How can you miss me when I won’t go away? Well, I just like you so much I want to stay. Hey. Summer’s ending again, just like a song, so what could go wrong? Weeeelllll… Another WordPress post “corrupted”, again, geez, I’m gonna be Blogging Al Capone soon with all this corruption; pretty soon I’ll be doing posts from WordPress Alcatraz. My laptop stopped letting me type the letter “q” (I have…

I’m fascinated (and terrified) to see how society deals with Artificial Intelligence, robotics, more automation, etc. (Basic Income now!). I hold out hope that someday, probably not in my lifetime, common sense will prevail, even if it’s forced upon us by AI. This is what ChatGPT once said about my blog…Hmmm, quick disclaimer: I’m not a current, former, or future mental health worker. Be…

I admit it, I have no shelf control. For me books are the same as: a potato chip, a piece of chocolate, a cup of tea – there’s no way I have have just one. I wake each day (If I’ve actually managed to sleep) and I think, the world is mine for the reading! “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”~ C.S. Lewis I have no particular genre or author, my motto is…

Oh what a tangled web we weave. When trying to pay rent, coins doth spiders leave… There are more things in heaven and Earth, dear Charlotte, than are dreamt of in your spider philosophy.  With respect to: William “Spiderman” Shakespeare, Sir Walter “Spidey” Scott, all the spiders of Earth as well as David Bowie (we miss you) and The Spiders from Mars…

You might be nowhere this seasonThe loneliest kind of lonelyIt may be rough goingJust…

So my body is being distinctly uncooperative, oh you know, the usual Chronic Suckage, including but not limited to: Fibromyalgia and all its joys (heavy sarcasm), Migraines (several types, quite exciting, note more sarcasm), Titeze’s Syndrome, muscle spasms in my back, and of course, the falling and almost falling (I do my own stunts, I think I could do Tiktok videos of me trying not to fall, it…

The last few months have been chaotic and I think it’s made me into a Cotton-Headed Ninny Muggins! I’ve been inattentive to my blogging family, that’s on me, not you; I’m sorry I ruined your blogging lives and crammed 11 cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 into your blogging VCR. Life has been having a tantrum: throwing snowballs, gum drops, lemons and even some chocolate covered curve balls at me – I’m working…

The latest offering of Jane Austen’s “Persuasion” (on Netflix) is an utter delight. Dakota Johnson is sassy and amusing, as any Austen heroine should be. Austenites along the purist vein may find this latest adaptation jarring, but I love the diversity and anachronistic nuances. I adore when the classics are reworked and I feel that Austen herself, a progressive and subversive, would enjoy the…

I am indeed feeling all shook up these days…Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yayMm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay I’m all shook up! I went to the latest Elvis movie with my Mom, both my parents were huge Elvis fans and we were introduced to The King at a very young age. Baz Luhrmann isn’t always my cup of tea, but with this movie he outdid himself or maybe Austin Butler’s performance just overwhelms any…

Running Up That Hill

It doesn’t hurt me.Do you want to feel how it feels?Do you want to know that it doesn’t hurt me?Do you want to hear about the deal that I’m making? C’mon, baby, c’mon darling,Let us steal these blog moments from us now.C’mon, angel, c’mon, c’mon, darling,Let’s exchange this blog experience, oh And if I only could,I’d make a deal with the blog Gods,And I’d get them to swap our places,Be running…

So I entered a contest, on a whim, to win tickets to the Seniors (High School) London Performing Arts Academy (London, Ontario, Canada Not-for-Profit School of The Arts) interpretation of The Addams Family musical. Guess what? I won! Funny jokes, snap snap, cotton candy, snap snap, audience laughter, snap snap, and musical notes surrounded us, offering the most elusive thing as society…

I’ll Have What She’s Having

“Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.” ~John Lennon “I’ll have what she’s having.” We’ve all heard this famous and famously funny line from When Harry Met Sally. Obviously the woman in Katz’s Delicatessen says the quip, one allegedly improvised by Estelle Reiner (Carl Reiner’s wife and director, Rob Reiner’s Mom), if is was actually an improv, then, wow, that family has more than their share…

I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Wouldn’t Do That)

And I would do anything for love,I’d walk briskly right into hell and backI would do anything for bloglove,I’ll never lie to you and that’s a fact And some days, it ain’t easyAnd some days, it ain’t hardSome days it ain’t happening at all I’ll do anything for bloglove (but I won’t do that)… I don’t know about you, but to me January 2022 felt more like Groundhog Day than a new start, but now…

Money, money changes everything. 💰 A penny saved is a penny earned (except in Canada, we don’t have pennies). Money can’t buy happiness (but it sure would be fun to try). Money Talks. 🤑 Not enough month at the end of my money. Money is the root of all evil. 💲Money’s Too Tight (To Mention). Can’t Buy Me Love. 💰 A light purse is a heavy curse. Here’s some ways to save… 1. Money Talks Stay…

24 Days of Our Christmas Lives

Since life now seems a never-ending soap opera I wondered what would it be like this Christmas, Like sands through the Christmas hourglass, so are the 24 Days of our Christmas lives. On the 24th day of our Christmas lives, adulting gave to me, 24 bills a comin’, endless housework that needs donin’, and not nearly enough funin’. On the 23rd day of our Christmas lives, fear of scarcity gave to me,…

Have Yourself a Merry Little #Christmas

Is Christmas really the most wonderful time of the year? Can’t we make the most wonderful time of the year any old time of the year? Does it have to be scheduled? Does it have to be a certain day? Why not wish each other well and treat each other well every single day in each and every single way? The message is drummed into us in every seasonal day, in every seasonal way, that if you’re not…
