Right now, life is very messy. I’ve got anemia and it needs treatment. Garry’s glaucoma seems to be acting up — OR he’s got some problem with migraines OR both are connected. The problem is, he can’t see properly and… Read More ›

VACCINATION COLLAPSE
Garry and I got our second booster this week. Garry had almost no reaction. I thought I was on edge of death. It was a lot like the reaction I got after the second part of the original vaccination, but… Read More ›
INSANITY!
I have to renew my driver’s license. I don’t need the new Federal version because we aren’t going anywhere and in theory, you can get a “standard” license that won’t let you get on an airplane after May 2023, but… Read More ›
HEADING OUT FOR VACCINE PART TWO
I think I’ll probably be off for the rest of the day. Hopefully, back up tomorrow. Maybe this injection will leave me fine. If not, I’ll take a couple of days leave and rest a bit. At least COVID-19 will… Read More ›
COVID SARS 19 – NOT DETECTED
We have colds. COVID-SARS 19 was Not Detected. We’re good – until the next cold! I looked at our medical records and realized this is the fourth time we’ve been tested for COVID. About every third month we get “something”… Read More ›
AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS … Marilyn Armstrong
We are taking a few days off, leaving in a few hours. I have posted new material while we are away, but it’s possible I won’t have time to answer comments. I’ll try, but not making any promises. There’s a… Read More ›
CHANGING FORMATS ON WORDPRESS – Marilyn Armstrong
In an attempt to somehow get the reblog button to show up in the scroll, I switched templates four times in about two hours today. Apparently, REBLOG doesn’t work while scrolling on any template and what is more, a lot… Read More ›
A LITTLE SOMETHING WITH WORDPRESS – Marilyn Armstrong
I write comments, but when I go back and look, they are gone. Likes appear, then vanish. If I don’t seem to be responding, it isn’t that I’m not. It’s that my comments are vanishing. If I discover one missing,… Read More ›
LOCAL NEWS FROM UXBRIDGE! – Marilyn Armstrong
So what have I been doing with myself? It certainly hasn’t been creative writing or photography. Mostly, it has been medical. Yesterday, I spent the day with the valve specialist and got the best news of the month. My heart… Read More ›
ON THE ROAD – Marilyn Armstrong
We are off for a few days, down to Connecticut. If the weather is with us, we may get to do “boat” and if not, we get to do “laughing with friends.” Either is just fine. I don’t plan to… Read More ›
NOT ONE OF MY GOOD DAYS – Marilyn Armstrong
This isn’t one of my good days. Maybe it’s the weather, the dampness, or just a lot of stuff catching up with me, but I’m not going to say anything positive, so I think I won’t say anything at all…. Read More ›
SOME NOT-SO-BAD NEWS, THE LOCAL EDITION – Marilyn Armstrong
Sometimes complaining helps. All the people who complained that they can’t use the new format have been offered the option of retaining (forever, apparently) the “classic format.” I was up at the Forum and there were tens of thousands of… Read More ›
FANDANGO’S ONE WORD CHALLENGE – THE SETTING : DOCTORS! – Marilyn Armstrong
FOWC with Fandango — Setting Yesterday’s setting was Garry’s first post-surgical checkup at UMass Memorial. Today’s setting is going to be (in an hour from now) our regular family guy to see if we can get his blood pressure a little… Read More ›
WORDPRESS IS ON THE FRITZ AGAIN
“On the Fritz” is a pre World War I (circa 1902), originally meaning “in a bad way” or “in bad condition.” Typically, it is the malfunctioning of an appliance, possibly originating from the German name Fritz, or by onomatopoeia as in imitating the… Read More ›
LOST YET FOUND – THE WANDERING OF MY WORDPRESS FRIENDS
This morning, when I realized that Paula’s prompt was missing, I went into “managing my reader” and discovered more than half the blogs I follow were missing. I messed around with settings and refreshing for a while — and suddenly,… Read More ›
COMPANY! HE’S HERE!
A few days of company. Gonna talk. Take some pictures. Have some laughs. See you all later. All the scheduled posts will go up, but otherwise, I’m gonna be “slightly missing.” Later! Meanwhile, our friend Ben is inhabiting our home,… Read More ›
BUSY, BUSY – PART BETA
We got the taxes done. Bonnie was still feeling poorly. We came back from getting taxes done and lo and behold, she is feeling better. Better enough to want my sandwich. Which I gave her. Because she hadn’t eaten in… Read More ›
BUSY, BUSY
We get our taxes done this morning … and when we are done, we take Bonnie to the vet. No, she isn’t better … or at least not better enough. She hasn’t eaten a meal in three days. She drinks… Read More ›
ONE THING, ANOTHER THING, AND THEN … ONE MORE THING
Garry’s computer went down, but that was okay because he could use my other computer. The Kindle went down, but that turned out okay because Audible fixed it and then Amazon fixed it more. But when my computer went down… Read More ›
