It’s Friday night, and the outside is loud with cars. It’s about 9 pm. But it is quiet in my apartment except for the snoring of my little piglet who is not a real piglet, he is a dog, but I like to call him Piglet. A friend of mine once posted on Facebook of all places about the death…
I have an exciting project going on. I am finally replacing all the carpet with laminate. I have got a contractor to do it for 4,600 as opposed to another contractor that quoted me over 10,000. My apartment is 700 sq feet. A friend did three bedrooms with stairs (2,400 sq feet) for 9,000. So I was pretty pissed. Needless…
Life sucks right now. I cannot go outside willingly unless I go to a store to get groceries. And that hurts because my furry baby went everywhere with me. I cannot walk outside because I cannot walk where we walked. I opted for the treadmill (as I really have to lose tons of weight before I can run). But it…
Yesterday my beloved Opee passed away. I knew it was coming soon just was not prepared for this soon… He was in so much pain and could hardly stand. The emergency vet said that he should just lie down still because of his pain and only go on very short walks (just to do his business) and that it would…
Did not post anything for a while. Life took over and I did not have time. But it is Memorial Day and I am on vacation. So, a lot happened. My “bestie” broke off our 30-year friendship stating that it was “unhealthy” and that she needed to take care of her well-being. I was laughing. I literally saw her once…
This is crazy. I cannot believe it is the end of January already. Where did the time go? Not too much has happened since my last post. I got over the ridiculous breakup with my bestie and now feel liberated instead of angry. I don’t have to deal with her husband anymore! We never liked each other and under his…
Today’s task was to “boycott something today.” I chose two things: chopsticks and boycotts themselves. Theoretically, that should cancel today’s task but what would be the fun? Boycotting chapsticks was unfortunate as I just bought sushi for dinner without reading today’s task first. How am I going to eat it like white civilized people emulating the Japanese? But then I…
Today’s task was “to expand my vocabulary.” I chose to use the alphabet for this and then look up random words starting with the letters. I won’t burden you with the whole alphabet but some gems instead. The selection was to randomly put my finger while my eyes were shut on the dictionary: D- Duenna: elderly woman chaperone (since I…
Today’s task was to “write an opening sentence of your future novel.” Well, I consulted many before I wrote mine. The one that won is the one from Tolstoy for one of my favorite books “Anna Karenina.” It’s the only book I brought with me when I moved to the US. I am sure there are many others with great…

Today’s task was to “Parachute. Make and test your own parachute today.” So, seeing how I don’t have access to a roof or don’t want to climb a tree I opted to jump from a bar stool (which is higher than a regular chair and has time to open the parachute). Now to constructing one. At first, I thought I…
