The neighbors just watched me curse, swat the air, and sprint away from my own carport. 10/10 performance.

Poor Cowboy was awake at 6:30 a.m.
For once, I was deep asleep and didn't even know he'd gotten up.

My inner alarm clock went off at 6:46 a.m., and I headed to the living room.
Cowboy was still in the shower.

Flea market finds and Sunday sunshine with the hubby

It's just another Sunday here in my little town.
There's not a whole lot I can jabber on about.

Cowboy went to morning and evening church services.
It's rare he misses.

Don't worry, he’s not lazy—he’s just operating on a completely different time zone than the rest of us. 🕒

We're staying at the house more now.
There's not a lot to write.

Cowboy sleeps the day away, which would be fine if he'd just stay in the bedroom.
Of course, one of the medications he takes requires him to remain upright for an hour after taking it, which means he naps upright in his recliner.

My head is currently paying the tax for autumn arriving overnight

Today wasn't an exciting day.
I woke up with the headache from Hades.

Dem bones Dem bones Dem dry bones

Today was town day, not much to say about that.
Thursday has been town day since 1990, unless something major comes up and we have to go another day.

Night Shift Worker Sleeping: Make Noise at Your Own Risk

I blame Cowboy for my hiding in the bedroom all day today.

Badger and I were up early.
She made breakfast, and we watched a little TV.
Cowboy surprised us by waking up early.

"Bittersweet is the first day of fall, a gentle goodbye to summer's warmth and a cozy hello to golden afternoons."

I made a very brief effort to poke myself out of the blue funk today.

I woke up at 6:30 a.m. and cleaned the kitchen up.
I don't think anyone had touched it since Saturday.
Yeah, gross.
Also yeah, life happens, so do blue funks.

Autumnal Equinox

Dealing with the Season Turning and a Head Full of Things I Can't Shake

Today wasn't such a good day for me.
I'll be honest and say I haven't left my bed.
You know I have my blue-funk times, when I decide not to be human.
Times when I simply burrow under a blanket and say, no, I'm not leaving.
Today was just one of those days.

Time changes, but cousins don't. We always pick up right where we left off

We did get to see Kim this afternoon.
Traffic wasn't terrible and her house was easier to find than expected.

She didn't live in an area we've been to before, although it looked awfully familiar.
Badger thinks it's close to where Peacock used to live in his apartments.
Cowboy insists it wasn't, so who knows.

Family: Where Yesterday Still Lives

There's a sameness to my days.
Not very much changes.
I suppose there's a small comfort to the familiar routines.

I Have a Lot of Thoughts, and Unfortunately for My Keyboard, I Typed Them All Out

It made it up to 95° today, but I'm hopeful tomorrow won't be as hot.
We had a good storm come through tonight with a lot of rain.
Hopefully that'll finally cool things down.

I Didn’t Order July, I Ordered September

I'm glad to see the reading list's back to working.
I've got a sneaky suspicion that Blogger was testing the waters to see if people still blogged.
I wonder how many of us bloggers sent a report in to tell them it was down.
Hopefully enough that they will realize that we are still an important and valuable community.

The Only One Who Remembers the Start

My heart isn't really with blogging.

The news about my cousin has hit so hard, I really don't know why it has.

I've not seen her since, oh, I guess 2022 or so.
Before that, it had been years and years and years since we'd seen each other.
