Most days, getting to and from work is not a problem. Oh, I might miss the connection from subway to light rail by the merest of seconds (like yesterday, where I was five seconds late to get aboard the train), but for the most part, things go smoothly. Except when they don’t. This evening wasContinue reading “On Getting Home From Work”

On the Stairwell Light
In the stairwell that leads upstairs there are two lights, one at the bottom and one at the top. Top and bottom both have lightswitches. The lightswitch at the top is older, and it mades a loud clank! when it’s thrown. The lightswitch at the bottom is newer and, thus, quieter. About a year ago,Continue reading “On the Stairwell Light”
On the Week In Review
My grandmother is down for her second nap of the day. It’s not even 1:30 in the afternoon. She’s been sleeping more of late. She’s also been keeping odd hours, and her perception of light and dark seems to be non-existent. The new television remotes confuse her. There’s one for the television, and one forContinue reading “On the Week In Review”
On Rainy Saturdays
I hate the rain. I hate driving sheets of rain. I hate rain that gets everywhere. I hate rain that makes everything muddy. I hate the rain. That is all.
On Things That Annoy Me, Number 42
People who don’t “get” references to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy annoy me. I realize that not everyone in the world is going to recognize a reference to H2G2, especially the really obscure ones, but still. There should be some minimum cultural knowledge here! 😆 Blogged with the Flock Browser
On Conversations with my Grandmother
Sometimes, conversations with my grandmother are amusing. Sometimes, the conversations are frustrating. Today, the conversations have been the frustrating ones. It began this morning over coffee. “I’m going home today,” she said. “Home?” I said. “You are home.” “I know that,” she hissed. “I’m going home.” I changed the subject quickly. It seemed prudent. IContinue reading “On Conversations with my Grandmother”
On That Thursday Feeling
I have a migraine. I hate it. I have a nasty cough, phlegmy sinuses, and bronchial passages that feel clogged. I hate it. I’m feeling a bit miserable right now. *sigh* So, what about you? Life treating you well? Doing better than me, at least?
On Mental Mush
My brain feels like mush. Headache. Sleepy. Mush. * * * * * Today is Thursday? I don’t pretend to understand. The week’s gone by in a blur. The days have blended together. I blame the mush. * * * * * I picked up a book over the weekend. I knew, before I boughtContinue reading “On Mental Mush”
On Terminology
After watching the Cubs :cubs: dispatch the Blue Jays 7-4 this afternoon, I flipped the television over to MASN to catch the end of the Orioles/Pirates game. The Orioles had coughed up a couple of runs earlier in the game, had clawed back to 4-2, and then, moments after I switched the channel, I watchedContinue reading “On Terminology”
On Mealtime Conversations
I was watching the Orioles/Pirates game on MASN. My grandmother opened the door to the basement. “What are we having for breakfast?” she called down. “Breakfast?” I said, confused. It was 7:30. At night. The Orioles pitcher had just given up a solo shot to the Pirates. “Breakfast,” she said. “Is it up or down?”Continue reading “On Mealtime Conversations”
