My confession for today

Here it is.

I fell asleep this afternoon and slept for 2plus hours.

All I can think is that I must have needed it.  I did sleep well last night, but I guess not enough.  Feeling much better than I had a few days ago.

If only I could make more inroads on emptying this place out.  I guess this is a problem with all widows.  My neighbor told me she has not done her husband’s clothes yet, and he has been gone for almost four years.  I’ve got clothes and a library’s worth of books.

I can’t force it, though.  It will be done in it’s own good time.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Another great Asher House video

A woman surrenders three dogs and a cat with newborn kittens.  She is a good person, just overwhelmed.  She has done her best, and knows it’s the best thing to do for her well loved pets.

Stray cat chooses to live in man’s workshop–now they are both happy

This is interesting and pretty scary.

I’ve never heard of this happening before.  I do most of my grocery shopping on line .  If anyone has heard of this before , let me know.

The Accordion Man Cometh (‘Oy, Rodney’) REPRINT

Oy Rodney – Lee Duigon

We are offered a rare glimpse into the creative mind at work, thanks to a notebook carelessly left on a windowsill by Violet Crepuscular, The Queen Of Suspense.

With the June Taylor Dancers, from the 1950s, lurking in the woods around Scurveyshire in the 1850s, what role will Lord Jeremy Coldsore’s 20-pound accordion play in saving the town? And don’t forget Mr. Pudding and his newts! A reader in Pastiche Grove, Michigan, forgot… and a giant spider got her.

The notebook, written in Cretan Linear A, provides tantalizing sketches of the June Taylor Dancers warding off the attacking newts while a bearded man with strange anatomical features (two left hands, for instance) plays a large accordion.

“Over the past 70 years,” she writes, reverting to English for the nonce, “I have found Cretan Linear B superior to the Indus Valley Script when it comes to keeping notes. And either one will drive would-be plagiarists crazy! Go ahead, sucker–plagiarize this!”

“I like the Indus Valley Script for day-to-day reminders involving goldfish food, etc.; but as you can see by this example, Linear A has it beat.”

Indus Script - World History Encyclopedia Obviously not suitable for serious literary porpoises!

He Will Hold Me Fast

Finally

All I am going to say about today is that I finally paid my Verizon bill.

All by myself.

With zero help from Verizon.

That was the stupidest, most time-consuming, waste of effort that I have ever had the misfortune to participate in.

When I saw yet another email today from Verizon telling me I could lose my connection, I just sat and looked at the thing.  A totally information-free “bill”  with no amount owed on it, nor an account number, nor any information of any value. I just looked at it for awhile, then paid it by putting in my zip code and the fake phone number (not my real phone number as I do not have a wireless phone) and it worked.

I pray that my mind is not beginning to work like Verizon.  That would be a fate worse than death.

That is it for today, folks.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Two beautiful black cat brothers adopted together.

This woman was not a “cat person”.  These two beautiful brothers changed her mind forever.

A Halloween prank

This is from a long time ago, but still funny.

This little girl wanted a dog, but she has severe allergies.. then along came Chloe

This is from a couple of years ago, but a lovely story.  This little dog really lucked out.
