I took a break from posting and all social media. Needed to cut myself off from technology and use the computer only for work. Sometimes I get overloaded. What came out of it was me reading like crazy. In this time, I’ve read 25 books. I won’t post the list. You just have to trust me. I don’t even watch…
Bought a new car. It’s a KIA K4. It is all I was able to afford comfortably. I don’t want to live for a car payment, and prices have skyrocketed since I bought my last one. From 17 to 25k even for a base model. The shyster dealer talked me into buying an extended warranty even though KIA has an…
Star is sick again… Poor baby… But I am so tired of the illnesses, and a lot of meds do not help 🙁 I don’t know how to keep it at bay. At this point, I have spent close to 10K on her already. That’s most of my savings… I hate to complain, especially about something I cannot control. It’s…
Another start of the week. Rainy days are here again. I started power walking as a transition to running. But I forgot that I am not a spring chicken anymore and don’t recover as I used to. This became apparent after I did 4 miles the other day and was out of commission the next day. This is all part…
Reading “Ada or Ardor” by Nabokov. What a racy book! Nabokov mastered erotica without being vulgar. But of course, he is a master. I believe it was published last in his chain of other books. Sex, incest, and a great love story… what’s not to like? I absolutely see how he employed Anna Karenina at the beginning of the book.…
The new year came and went uneventfully. Celebrated in my private Idaho with my furry baby by my side. No stress, no social anxiety, no forcing myself to do small talk. Bliss. But the year start was shitty and was full of health problems. I am still waiting for tests, etc. Does not help that my primary doctor is incompetent…
As this year moves towards the end, I am going through a re-evaluation of my life and finding out who I am. I have lost sight of who I am. Personality crisis? I think so. I know that this is bonkers. I have lived for 53 years on this earth, and only now do I realize that essentially I have…
Today, I am writing about my biggest fear because of the current administration. I am a naturalized citizen, but Trump’s latest policy states that naturalized citizens are subject to having their citizenship revoked. Thus, I live in constant fear and absolutely will not travel outside the US for the possibility of not being allowed access back. Goodbye, walking the Camino…
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…
