Some Days That’s The Best You Can Do
August 4, 2021Well . . . the good news is today it’s easier for me to pick up the mug.
The bad news is it’s because I keep having to resist the urge to fling the mug across the room.
This is the point I usually stop to keep my entries pithy, but that just doesn’t feel appropriate today. I don’t know why I woke up with my emotional burner set to simmer, but I did, and I don’t want to pretend that I didn’t.

We Both Kept Going Though Because Otherwise The Wasps Would Win
August 30, 2017I’m happy to say that by this morning the pain that was yesterday for me had mostly subsided like a wasp sting on the following day.
(I’m not just picking that metaphor out of the air by the way. Yesterday a friend of mine had their plans disrupted by an unexpected and surprisingly painful wasp sting, and I was struck by how perfectly that described my day too.)
“Fantabulanope”
July 7, 2016Life around here is running on more or less an even keel again at the moment, and that’s nice, but that doesn’t mean I don’t remember the not-so-long-ago time when I was making up new words to best convey my precise level of disinclination to deal with the latest dilemma clamoring for my attention.
Among Other Things, My Caffeine Intake Of Late Would Beg To Differ With That
