I’m tired. I’ll be back next week.
I’m Tired
Tired
Screaming Into the Void
Hello, hello! How’s everyone doing this wonderful Wednesday? Things here are fine. Really. Nothing to complain about that’s important or relevant or even worth it. But I’m currently angry and tired and just want to scream or cry or something. I’m not actually going to do anything. I’ll bottle it all away for another day. Mostly because I don’t currently know why I’m feeling this way, so I can’t explain it, which just makes it even more annoying. Anyway. I’m tired. I’ll be back next week with a book review.
Don’t Wanna
Howdy, howdy! How’s everyone doing this lovely Wednesday? Things here are okay. The generator is in, so we spent some time getting it connected to the internet. It’s name is Sparkie. But mostly we just had a lazy day today (Tuesday). It’s gloomy and blah and just not conducive to being productive. Things are slowly happening on the wheelchair front, but I won’t have enough for a proper update until tomorrow, which means you’ll have to wait until May 6th for the saga to continue. Next week is my usual book review. Anyway, I’m tired and it’s blah and I don’t wanna do a good post today, so I’m not gonna. See you next week!
Exhausted
Howdy, howdy! How’s everyone this lovely Wednesday? After two nights of little to no sleep for no reason other than my brain insisting on being awake, I’m exhausted. There’s nothing I want to blog about. If you have anything you want me to ramble about, let me know here or on my social media pages and I’ll do that next week. But for now, I’m going to go do nothing and hope I can sleep tonight. Later days.
Mardi and the Metal Stick of Doom
Hello, hello! How’s everyone doing this lovely Wednesday? I’m beyond tired for no reason. I don’t feel like complaining even though I could. Didn’t watch the halftime show. Definitely didn’t watch the other thing with the irrelevant old white dude/pedo and handful of people I’ve never heard of. So, instead, I’m leaving you with a video of Mardi and the metal stick she found behind Dad’s shop. She found it a long time ago, but he only gives it back to her once in a while. Why? Because she does this for hours if it isn’t taken away and hid. It’s adorable for the first five minutes. Plus it terrifies the other dogs. Anyway, here’s a picture of the little terror. The video is under that.
Random Updates
Hello, hello! How’s everyone doing this lovely Wednesday? I’m probably feeling blah and vegging out, because I usually feel like crap for a day or so after the Covid and Flu vaccines (it’s currently the 16th and we’re heading out to get them soon). But I don’t have any real things to post about, so here are some quick, random updates.
1. Still waiting to find out if I’m still cripple enough for Medicaid. I have no idea what’s taking so long, but when I call to check on everything, they keep telling me it’s under review. And all I can do is wait and be polite and remain calm. Whatever.
2. We have tomatoes and jalapeños and even got our first strawberries! No pics because I didn’t think about it. It’s okay to be jealous though.
3. I’m so tired of seeing that name that’s currently everywhere. Had never even heard of him before this. Everything I’ve seen and heard since is disgusting. He wasn’t a good person. Every time he opened his mouth something ridiculous or horrible came out of it. He thought deaths due to gun violence were acceptable. Now, he’s just another statistic. I feel bad for his kids, but that’s the extent of my empathy (something else he had dumbass thoughts on). Stop idolizing people like him. It’s gross.
4. Raspberry Pepsi is yummy. I don’t know if it actually exists anywhere, but all you need is a Pepsi and raspberry syrup (like the syrups you put in coffee). It’s better doing it that way anyway, because you can adjust how much syrup you add based on your tastes. Pepsi with maraschino cherry juice is also good.
Anyway, I’ll be back next week with the usual book review.
Happy May
Hello, hello! How’s everyone this lovely Wednesday? It’s super late and I have nothing to ramble about and I feel blah for no real reason except it’s another rainy, dreary day (Tuesday). So, I’m taking a lazy day and just saying have a happy May! I’ll figure out something to blog about next week. Ideas welcome!
Tell Me Something Good
Hello, hello! How’s everyone doing this wonderful Wednesday? I’m tired. Allergies suck. Life is a dystopian hellscape. It seems like every time I wake up, something new and worse is happening. And there are still people who are too… I don’t know if they’re stupid, oblivious, stubborn, obsessed, or what… to acknowledge that this is all stuff that’s been done before and is a harbinger of all the bad things (unless you’re a rich, straight, probably white, cis-dude). And to top it all off, we’re on the wrong side of history this time. Anyway, I’m stressed. I’m tired. I panic check my benefits every day just to make sure the Doggies (DOGE) haven’t randomly cut them off. I have more trouble than usual sleeping. My tachycardia is back to acting up once or twice a week instead of once or twice a month. I expect our Social Security payments to stop and am delightfully surprised when they do show up. I’m waiting for them to officially get rid of Section 504 so they can go after the ADA next. I’m angry on behalf of the people who are already being affected (immigrants, trans, women, etc.). I constantly have to remind myself to unclench my jaw. And I’ve been this way since November. So yeah, I’m fucking tired.
Instead of ranting more, I want you to tell me something good. It doesn’t matter how big or small. Don’t try to tell me my fears are unfounded or that I’m overreacting. Don’t try to turn this into a political debate. Just tell me something good that has happened to you recently. I want to know there are still good things going on in this world, no matter how small.
I’m So Tired
Hello, hello! How’s everyone doing this wonderful Wednesday? I’m tired and taking another day off. I suck. I know. I had a meeting and some people are coming over later and I haven’t eaten yet. The excuses could keep coming, but the truth is, I just don’t want to write anything right now. I’m going to slush, then be social, and fit food in there somewhere. I’ll be back next week with a book review.
Impromptu Day Off
Hello, hello! How’s everyone this lovely Wednesday? I’m completely lost on what to blog about, so instead of forcing something again, I’m going to go do other things. I’m currently looking for a grill mat or hearth rug or something to keep the ashes from the smoker off the porch rug. Dad built a stand for the Kamado Joe and is cleaning up the back yard (not that we have a yard, it’s all deck and pond and gardens). So, I’ll be back next week with a book review. In the meantime, have a picture of the smoker on it’s new stand!
