Two days in a row I took tentative steps to rejoin the human race. I’m the only dorkalina in a mask still unless it is a socially distanced pic in front of Van Gogh or eating on a picnic table on the patio of LaLa’s with no other customers around but that’s ok. Vaccinated twice and double boosted could be the charm. I’ll be sticking that Covid test swab right up my nose, to get the hybrid train rolling, unless I panic & escape back to the four walls within my home that have become a prison. Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.

And I had been going into the office July 2021 through March 2022 but life intervened with the in-laws’ health which frankly isn’t any better but staying close to home has become an excuse. My chronic pain is flaring up and that is also another reason to stay put. But saw the doctor Thursday and we have a plan. Fingers crossed.

And in other news, well I still need to process things. I’ll be as vague and full of mystery as possible. Definitely will spill the tea as the kiddos say but only as it relates to me. Before I get any more cryptic, here is the roll call.

  • Sunday 6/5/22 – #SLS and A Side of Angst (in absence of evidence, I made stuff up, then things sort of got better. My life shifted on this day at 4:11 CST to be exact)
  • Monday 6/6/22 – Haiku – rise & divide
  • Tuesday 6/7/22 – Share Your World
  • Wednesday 6/8/22 – #1linerWeds.
  • Thursday 6/9/22 – Thoughts
  • Friday 6/10/22 – Ramble
  • Saturday 6/11/22 – #SoCS

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

As always, more to come.

What day is it? That happens when I take time off and truly disconnect. Time warps itself just a little more than usual. I almost wrote 21 as I typed the date in the title as if I was thrown back to 2021. Doh! I don’t wanna go back. Onward through the fog and boy howdy have things been foggy. But I won’t write about that. Instead I will continue in this state of disconnection, free floating, what I want to when I want to – ness.

Oh and we’ve had visitors from WI to see my in-laws for what they know will be the last time. A schoolmate died this week putting things into perspective. Time is short. They were not visiting for the funeral, the trip was previously planned with all the mess that happened earlier this year. My mother-in-law gave an impression that they could travel when they can barely get from one room to another inside their home. The friends booked two extra days thinking they could get in one final trip in to Eagle Pass to gamble but that fell apart when they realized quickly things were worse than they’d been led to believe.

Alrighty, the roll call is not going to roll itself. Here we go …

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

As always, more to come.

Starting with some gratitude, we got rain. We also got our #4 boost. And I had a place to lounge around all day yesterday “recuperating”. Crap adjacent keeps happening sadly. A dear coworker is gone way too soon. May mental health month is bringing things out to the light but we’re still no closer to solutions. B’s mom is still in the hospital. She’s talking out of her head, not getting much better. She forgot everything about her Thursday doctor’s appointment and keeps calling PoPo to say she was abandoned. To hurry up and come get her! Ugh 😦

Without further ado, here’s a quick roll call.

  • Sunday 5/15/22 – #SLS
  • Monday 5/16/22 – Haiku – king and queen
  • Tuesday 5/17/22 – #SYW
  • Wednesday 5/18/22 – #1linerWeds. – this was my 39 high school graduation & we finished re-watching Stranger Things in preparation for season 4 on 5/27/22
  • Thursday – 5/19/22 – Thoughts
  • Friday 5/20/22 – Feature
  • Saturday 5/21/22 – #SoCS

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

As always, more to come.

The week was sort of quiet except for all the noise in my head. I will write more about that later. I may not publish anything, but I will definitely be releasing the hounds. Why? Homework from therapy. I’m back into CBT and doing better. Now let’s get to a quick roll call.

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

As always, more to come.

Slow going today, slept in until 10 A.M. which was my glorious mother’s day gift. That and homemade brownies from Lulu. I must say at the risk of shocking folks, I’m not feeling this “holiday” never have, never will, not really. A former schoolmate wrote a rather moving post today. Her mom died when she was only 6 months old. She said people always expected the day to be sad but it never was because she was surrounded by excessive, ridiculous, extravagant love from so many. My wish is for anyone who needs it to have this kind of love in their lives too and my heart breaks for those who don’t. Alrighty, off my soapbox. I hope I don’t twist my ankle on the way down. Now let’s roll call.

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

As always, more to come.

I’ll get right to the recap. Not not feeling chatty today. Shocker I know. LOL.

Up first, A to Z Challenge for 2022 is in the bag. Fun was had by all, at least I hope so. I personally had a blast. I’ll be reflecting on the experience, then road tripping. Can’t wait!

Two additional posts from the usual stuff pile. I was lazy. I kept up my streak without my usual fodder.

  • #SoCS where I was zip, zero, and zilching
  • Ronovan’s Weekly Challenge with words Desert & Path

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

As always, more to come.

First up, let’s summarize A to Z …

Now for the usual fodder …

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

Howdy folks, I am exhausted with a capital E. So much is going on right now. And yesterday well, it was a day for the memory books. I connected with found family who actually care to know about me. The exact opposite of the one who blocked me without responding. And yes that block might have been what he does to everyone in self preservation since the world is full of creeps. I’ll never know because no words came with the act. Just bam, virtual door was slammed. I won’t go into too much detail. If I tried, nothing would make sense anyway. I’m still reeling with the news. But one day, if I can ever get it together, I will write a you can’t make this stuff up biography.

Okay, time for the roll call. We’ll go with A to Z first. Then we’ll move to the regular fodder.

And now, what’s left but going backwards …

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

As always, more to come.
