  • 2021-02-19 The One that Wanted to be About Sex but Couldn’t Make it Past First Base…

    I looked into the salty air thinking about my irritation over an email I just read and said to myself “it’s time to get serious.”  Then I looked at myself in the mirror from the treadmill and said “NO!” I actually pointed at myself as I said, “NO! NOT THIS TIME.” I’m not going to…

    2021-02-18 The B-Side: What on Earth is Miss SugarCookie Planning Now?!…

    There’s literally like a dozen different possible introductions for today’s (B-Side) topic…let’s see how many I can pull out of a hat before you guess what’s happening next… My Ex Matt always had a distaste for my personal “experiments”. Little spur-of-the-moment behavior modifications or ideas I would entertain about making changes in my life. To…

    2021-02-18 A Serious Need to Not Take Anything Too Seriously

    Having another one of those days. You know.. where I just want to tell the world to efffff off. Not you darlings though. Nope.  This mood has been a fairly regular thing these weeks, I’m finding. I was soooooo tired this morning and tired of being tired. Caffeine helps but then I feel bad about…

    2021-02-17 Having an Out-of-Body Without Ever Leaving My Body

    It’s another random ordinary Wednesday and there’s once again not a single noteworthy thing I have to contribute. Not a thought in my head worthy of writing about for the gazilllionth time.  Late yesterday I ingested some citrus ginseng fizz I bought from a newish acquaintance of mine whose business is selling these Earth friendly…

    2021-02-16 A Good Day to Hide Inside and Under Blankets! ❄️ 🥶 💙

    Different day, same story. Efffffing cold! School is cancelled and there’s rolling blackouts planned in the city to control power consumption. This beast of a house has its hot and cold spots and some pipes on the northwest side are at risk of freezing. Other duties as assigned for me today include keeping the water…

    2021-02-15 Good Gravy!

    Earlier today I was processing the pile of declines in my stack and finally at the end, turned my attention to the maybe pile. I can tell you I don’t read all the writing that gets declined, but I do read all the comments. I can also tell you that if one of our editors…

    2021-02-15 Trying to be Positive Amidst So Much Negativity

    As predicted my step streak was broken yesterday. Missed it by a whopping 4K as I sat around all day lamenting my fever and aching muscles.  Let’s cut to the chase. It’s negative 13 degrees outside right now. The high will be negative 2 which won’t last long before the dip back down to a…

    2021-02-14 Abbreviated Sunday Status

    It’s Valentine’s Day again and just because I’m married now and with a wonderful person doesn’t change a thing about the way I feel about this fake-ass holiday. I’ve historically taken this day as an opportunity to rant about that. But I’m more mature now and past ranting about the ridiculousness of a holiday dedicated…
