Farmer
This is Farmer. He's a betta fish. He lives in the hydroponic garden I got for Christmas. It's a 3 gallon tank with 3 plant-growing pods on the top, so that I can grow herbs in the kitchen. The herbs take the nitrogen and other "nutrients" from Farmer's t...I smell a speed trap
Call it a hunch but I think they may be running a sting around the royersford exit of 422.Molasses
So the last few months of writing have been a lot like molasses: a little too sweet, a little dark, and sloooowww. And honestly I've lost a lot of confidence in my fiction, which is a problem when I'm sending the same (constantly-revised) molasses tales ...The first step is still show up
Going into Thursday night I was... ninth? in rank in the B division of Pinball Gallery's winter league. Finals are only top five contenders, so as I described it to more than one of my friends, I figured it would take a strategically-placed meteor strike ...Trusty garden fork saves the day
OK, it's really a "garden cultivator", three tines, slight curve, four foot or so long. Turns out if you combine knitting skills, gardening skills, and electricity, you can hang Christmas lights on nails in the wall waaaaay above your head. So the light...Night owls
Dogs last Thursday 8am: WHY ARE WE NOT FED YET? Dogs this morning 7:30am: Duuude why are you getting up come onnnnn Time to convert dogs to stupid night owl hours: < 1 weekHow to tell I start a new job tomorrow:
All the laundry is done and I've started things like blankets and towels I have taken on a major project (decorate the house) at 6pm the night before To do that project first I have to do a different project... clean the house My workbench in the garage i...The downward slope of the week
When working, I always kind of liked Thursdays -- they're at least closer to Friday than Monday. When I'm off, they're not as comfy. After all, I'm now closer to working than I was on Tuesday ;) But Monday will be the beginning of my new job, and that's a...The terriers are in fact terriers
Had a great day yesterday -- I saw Neil DeGrasse Tyson at the Academy of Music and had a wonderful time. After we got home, I noticed Kaylee's fur on her head and ear was all spiked like she had been rolling in something interesting in the yard. This morn...My favorite Christmas carol
Life is full of sweet surprises Everyday's a gift The sun comes up and I can feel it lift my spirit Fills me up with laughter Fills me up with song I look into the eyes of love and know that I belong Bless us all, who gather here The loving family I hold ...Women of Harry Potter: Evil In Authority
tor.comFrom the article: But then, we forget, don’t we? We forget that not everyone agrees on the definition of “good.” We might think of “good” as “everyone equal, everyone friends” while others think of “good” as “those people gone.”Let's play pretend
I am pretending I am a professional writer who eats healthy and reads a lot this week. What are you pretending to be?Sunday afternoon and the living is easy
I slept in this morning, woke with a roaring headache, and decided that I'd take it easy. To me taking it easy apparently means groceries, laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and reading a book. The headache hasn't budged. Meanwhile I still have eight or so lo...For those keeping score at home...
We are 6.37 miles into shopping today and not done yet. One store to go and then it's aspirin time. My hip felt better after my last half marathon than it does right now.I have a filthy mind

Good morning friends and neighbors! It's Saturday. I'm Christmas shopping with my brother - which if it follows previous years' patterns, will take about 8 hours and 6+ miles of walking. Hopefully that will take care of some of thanksgiving's bounty. We w...Last day jitters
Morning all! It's just after 8:30 and my exit interview is at 10. It's very weird. I've never had an exit interview before. Of course it helps that I've been at the same company for 16 years, so there weren't many opportunities for one. I start at Boomi o...Happy Saturday!
We are in North Carolina (Elizabeth City and/or Grandy depending on when) for the Flippers Fall pinball tournament. It's been a rough week. To help you out, here's a link to the "awww" community on Imzy. https://www.imzy.com/awww Right now I'm just outsid...Morning world!
It's almost noon on the east coast. Did you eat a healthy food today? Did you drink any water yet? Today's goals: Get through Monday Make sure you own stamps so you can mail letters to people. What people? Well, there's your friends and family, who ma...Overheard while playing Stardew Valley
My husband's watching me play Stardew Valley while he's playing a Roguelike. Him: Wait, didn't you say all your chickens were female? Me: Yes Him: So where'd the rooster come from in the morning? Me: I don't know, maybe the neighbors? Later... all my anim...Your daily reminder
It's Saturday! Eat a healthy food. Drink some water. Take a walk. Catch your breath. Me, I'm at the mall buying clothes for my new job, eating soup and a sandwich and drinking water (and a soda), and trying to spin down. Got me some new sneakers and to...Compassion by Miller Williams
Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it. What appears bad manners, an ill temper or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit m...A prayer attributed to St. Francis
