Photo by Round Arch Our cats desperately want to be outdoor cats. At least these are the signs they give off when the screen door is left open just for a second. One of the them will inevitably venture out onto the front stoop, muscles tensed, low to the ground, wild eyed, looking for a…

Garbage Day
I really hate Garbage Day. It’s not the day itself, because I use that as a point of reference for what day of the week it is. When you are a shift worker, there has to be one constant that you can count on to use as your point of reference. Garbage Day is every…
Traffic Ticket
Photo Pulled Over Back in the early 1980’s, before the world became civilized, I was working for the police service and driving a 2 door Mustang with a 351 Cleveland engine. When I bought the car, my boyfriend at the time had tried to steer me towards a 4 door Dodge Dart – I steered…
Institutionalized
Recent events have me wondering if Bruce and I should be institutionalized. Of course the animals would remain in the home and fend for themselves. They’ve proven that they are pretty much better at it than we are. Bru had a doctor’s appointment last week and we used our new wheelchair ramp as part…
Signs I Like
I should run for political office just to see what kind of scandalous dirt the press can dig up on me. It would be nice to finally piece together my twenties.

We’ve Had Some Pets Over the Years

If someone were a Veteran we would be looking at a nice reduction in medical marijuana and I’d be sharpening up my rolling skills. Tragically, VET stands for veterinarian and we have met our share….
Some Dumb Stuff I’ve Done
Photo by Staci at Pexels Over the years I have worked in a number of office settings and there have been a few incidents here and there where I may not have appeared as professional as I would have liked. As I am not getting any younger, I feel now is a good time to…
Sunday Drive
Photo by Daria Nepriakhina on Unsplash Bruce and I went for a drive in the country one afternoon and I made a number of observations that I feel I must share. When town or city people drive past cattle, inevitably someone in the car will say MOO. I don’t know why this is. Usually it…
Is Daddy Insured?
Photo by Alexandra Gorn at Unsplash I’m not sure if the two cats, Bella a.k.a. THE HEIFER and Abby think that Bru is heavily insured and they are the beneficiaries. I am working on this theory because they both seem to get in his way more often than one would expect of two lazy and…
