I found my radio station. It’s listener supported but all music, not news. There’s a lot of young, white boys telling us how sad they are, but there’s also special programs with big band or blues or soul, if only I remember when they’re on ( Read more... )

So, let’s see…

I bought a dvd of 1776 because I always want to watch it on July 4th but I never have the channel or stream it’s on. Then I was thinking that every holiday probably has a movie you could watch as appropriate. Next is Labor Day and you could put on Picnic or Norma Rae. Or others ( Read more... )

I go to the ophthalmologist about every six months. My eyes, they’re not so good. So this last visit I learned my ophthalmologist is two different people. I thought they were the same guy. This time Dr H comes in and tells me, looking at my file, that Dr T is concerned about my glaucoma. Wait, the guy I saw last time isn’t Dr H? He’s different than ( Read more... )

I got 4 packets of flower seeds from some charity and I mean to plant them soon. I had to buy pots. Now I have to find some continuous sun. There are trees all around here which is good when it’s 100F for months but there are only small windows in the yard where the direct sun is hours available ( Read more... )

The temperatures are in the 90sF around here for the next week. Unhappy.

I watched The Ipcress File on Amazon, a binge on the latest insomnia night. I liked it and the Americans looked bad. The ending was especially good with -omg- the lies. Everybody lies, all the time. I’d like to watch the old Michael Caine version again but I can’t find it ( Read more... )

1. LJ appeared in April 1999, the year when I…quit my job and started to go to pieces ( Read more... )

There was a gov’t program in place that subsidized internet costs for more rural? poorer? parts of the country (I don’t know the guidelines) that Congress didn’t renew this year. Well, they were busy trying to lynch Hunter Biden and various members of the Cabinet, so musn’t grumble. But I will be charged starting this month. I’m thinking of keeping ( Read more... )

I got my hair cut. Hairdressers (or stylists?) and I baffle each other. It’s always been that way. When I was young I just wanted it to look “nice” without any idea of how to describe my idea of “nice”. The hair cutter was on her or his own. Now I want it “short ( Read more... )

It’s annoying when rainy season is over. Because when rainy season is over everyone (not me) gets obsessed with either cutting the grass or moving the leaves. Whatever befits the season. Both are loud exercises, either done early in the morning or all day long ( Read more... )

I plan to make some cookies to send to my sisterinlaw to accompany the pansy cup (how many cups do you think she has already on her shelves? Many? But are any of them encircled with pansies, I ask you?) My apricot biscotti, which have been acclaimed. But it’s been such a while since I made them, I’m going to make a test batch. Plus I’m using the ( Read more... )
