Half lazy, half every other excuse

Yikes, I didn’t realize how long it had been since the last time I posted anything here. Well, I started this blog for one big reason: To improve my frazzled daisy self one petal at a time. Funny thing is, when one does something like that, one tends to not have time to write in

Kitty!!!

Howdy, folks. In case you haven’t already heard, I adopted a cat last week from a local shelter. Her name is Taffy, and here she is: As you can see, I’ve had her for less than a week, and I’ve already taken too many photos. She is a lovebug, but she’s playful too. She has

Feeling nostalgic

Hello! It’s been a while, but I’ve actually been busy. It’s spring, so I’ve been doing yardwork. And I’m fully vaccinated, so I’ve been getting out of the house. I went shopping a couple times, and I absolutely missed that. I went to WalFart the other day, just because, and I encountered all of the

Freeeedommmmmmm, finnnaaallllyyyyyy!

Howdy, y’all! OK, so maybe that headline is a bit dramatic — or unreadable (translation: Freedom, finally). But for the first time in a year, I feel free. The self-isolation that started March 17, 2020, will finally be over starting April 7, 2021, as I have gotten the COVID-19 vaccination. I got the Pfizer one.

Marking one year

Hello! Today marks one year since I started isolating at home due to the coronavirus. I can’t remember what I ate for dinner last night, but I will never forget the week this all started. MARCHOne year ago, on March 16, I had an eye doctor appointment. I remember the news becoming more and more

I can’t believe it

Howdy! Well, I have some great news. Back in January, I signed up on a wait list in Virginia for the COVID-19 vaccine. It didn’t seem like I would ever get one. And it’s been very confusing as to how to get one. But last Saturday, I got a call from the local health department.

Toasty hands and poofy pillows

Yo! What’s up? I have some silly news to share. I may have mentioned in the past that I won some stuff online a couple months ago. Well, the items are taking a long time to get here, which is fine, since none of it is urgent or anything. A couple more things arrived this

Spring fever

Hello! Finally, after months of craptastic days filled with snow and freezing cold, we had a nice day here today! Not only that, but it actually was on my day off! That never happens. It was in the 60s here today and sunny, and I had so much energy. I did yard work, fixed a

Sing it with me: Oh whoa whoa, I got those winter blues …

Hello! It’s still winter. And this has been quite a wintry winter. Last winter, it was really mild, and we didn’t have much snow at all. This year, though, it has snowed a million times, including last night. It’s still snowing today. Granted, we haven’t gotten a lot of accumulation (knock on wood), but the

Hodgepodge of randomness

Hello! A random slew of things have happened since the last time I’ve posted. First off, I did get good news. I went to my rheumatologist yesterday. If you recall, last summer I had some bad liver test results. Well, the last two sets of tests turned out fine. So, I’m staying on the same
