While still trying to avoid reality as much as possible (because I have unfortunately kept informed of sordid and absurd happenings this week, especially involving the sickening SCOTUS six fascist fanatics), I stumbled upon yet another extraterrestrial-themed TV episode, this time in an old series (if old is more than 20 years ago). Unlike SCOTUS, […]

Happy Summer Solstice and here’s a picture of my precious pooch adjusting to his new adobe digs. To his credit, the current putrid humidity and plethora of mosquitoes don’t seem to bother him much. But the ear-piercing thunderstorm we had this week did rattle the sweet boy, which seemed unfair occurring the day after he

I’m still having trouble adjusting to the altitude in my New Mexico location, hence working on my bedroom closet like I’d planned is a no-go. Not enough air circulation, and I’m better off sitting down. Last thing I need is to pass out onto my surely unforgiving classic Saltillo tile floors. My critters need me,

While I’ve been otherwise occupied and sometimes overwhelmed getting settled into my New Mexico adobe abode, there’s been a lot going on nationally that can be equally overwhelming—partially because of uncanny connections to unnervingly nefarious bits of it. More on that in a moment. First, it’s been so long since I’ve posted on this blog

My house smells like cardboard, I think my cat is building forts with my moving boxes while I sleep (when I sleep), and I only had one panic attack this week so far, which is the excuse I’m using for being late with this blog post. Selling one house and simultaneously buying another—in a different

I spent most of yesterday away from home with my dog, Bodie, while an inspection took place for the sale of my house. It was apparently also National Cat Lady Day, so first a shout out to Morris, my curious and sometimes cantankerous orange tabby, who has handled all sorts of strangers coming into our

In addition to the stock market crash and myriad other fiascos taking place in our current mess of a nation, it’s also been a real-estate-rollercoaster of a week in my personal abode, which I have been attempting to sell for weeks now. I had glimmers of hope these past two days, but now I’m in

My current fav snark circulating social media (other than the hilarious penguin stuff) is: Aliens are going to be super confused when they show up threatening to overthrow our leaders and we’re all stoked and offer to help. Ya think? Just about anything these days is better than watching the stock market, our democracy, and

As I head into the last weekend before another birthday, the third weekend of having my house on the market, and having just experienced yet another disappointment in terms of my out-of-state house search, I’m otherwise living the typical bizarre spring fluctuation that seems to happen in every region I’ve resided. That would be the

In yet another quest for fun films to chase away the world-wary blues, I recently watched one nostalgic movie and one from early in this century that both featured cars—a road race and a road trip—and also included the fabulous Ann-Margret. What were the odds, given the first flick was an Elvis epic from 1964,
