Shortly after meeting my husband, he asked what I’d like to do for my birthday. I told him I wanted to tag a rail car. We adopted hobo names and wrote our nicknames on an alley wall in sidewalk chalk instead. I’ve always found these fascinating to watch when stopped at a crossing.

My parents were born and raised in central Kentucky. We lived in Mississippi for 8 years - 1st - 8th grade for me. Then a few years in TN before moving to Louisville area when I was 16. I was a bit surprised, because I’ve changed how and what I say a lot, but “ya’ll and “roly poly” got me.
My dialect map says I match 54% with Mississippi.

I’m only a few days away from the 8th anniversary of my mom’s surgery to remove the tumor in her brain. It was a great success, but she still died from it nine months later. This is so promising. Fuck yeah, Science!

Part of petrichor, the delish earthy smell released when rain hits parched ground, is geosmin,a compound from soil bacteria-human👃s can detect it in lower concentrations than sharks can detect blood in water. Seeking out water on dry plains was essential for our ancestors. Here’s a geosmin molecule:

Osti got up for the first time 5 minutes ago after early, early AM thunderstorms. I let her out, and it immediately started sprinkling. Before I got back to the door, it started thundering. She’s ensconced around the toilet again. Poor thing.

I’m 56. I’m unapologetically eating cake for breakfast every day this week. My beautiful friend Neve has been making me my favorite cake for my birthday since my mom died. Y’all, it is soooo good. Really hard to be in a bad mood when you start the day with cake. 🎂

The old gal turns 11 today. We gave her a few fries to celebrate. She’s still perky and playful some minutes of each day. She’s only a bit of a diva, mostly about food. She’s such a nice combo of Hedy and Hux. Glad to celebrate her being in our life. Having a dog is better. #greyhounds

Catherine O’Hara has been a radiant, witty and beautiful part of so many of my favorite joyful moments. Watching Schitt’s Creek. Moira brought me so much comfort when I was missing my mom, especially. This one is tough. Godspeed and farewell. Thank you for the joy, laughter and memories.

When your calling/business is death work/positivity and the world you live in has gone from apathetic disregard to full-court press of cruelty in order to make survival, much less joyful living, nearly impossible for most of us? I feel like a ghoul. And so helpless. Happy New Year, I guess.

🎶 My hollly tree brings all the birds to the yard. About 30 seconds after I stopped this video a bird in another tree gave a signal and at least 30 flew out and moved on. Maybe a warning about our neighborhood hawks or just time for them to move on to the next site of their progressive dinner.

This old girl. She doesn’t want to use the ramp in the snow. Her use of space is the number one reason I won’t put up a big tree this year. We are having to resort to pee pads in our dining room. But look how cute she is. #greyhounds

Considering how I feel at the moment, there may be no decking of halls this year. I haven’t even found the oomph to put away the paltry few Halloween decorations I put out. But we have a tradition of making wreaths after Thanksgiving dinner, and I am happy with the result.

Maybe it’s because hubby’s been out of town, but the girl has been dragging things all over the house the past few days. Yesterday, it was one of my sweaters to her bed and today a blanket from her bed to the dining room.

The scariest scene in my real life horror film is trying to stop my dog from eating whatever she just found in the yard at 1:30 am in the dark while it’s raining outside. Followed closely by insomnia before a busy day. What are some of yours? Hope your Halloween is only treats today!

If these things (tamagotchi) taught you early about the inevitability of death, then you should complete your advance planning. You aren’t going to live forever either.

She got mad because Doug left for a haircut, and these toys were on her bed. Then she went to lie down in another room anyway.

Do any of you Gen-X, non-denominational Christian peeps remember your parents/teachers telling us not to buy P & G and Crest because of Moonie symbols on the packaging? And Moonies equaled satanism, I guess?

Seven years ago today my mother had surgery for a brain tumor. A week later we, unknowingly, celebrated her last birthday with us. Add all this inhumane cruelty and greed that is public policy and I wonder if I’ve experienced my last “good day.” I won’t give in to hopelessness forever, but today?

At least two upcoming prayer and candlelight vigils honoring CK are scheduled in my MAGA-infested corner of the planet. I hate it here. Encouraged to learn two cousins walked out of their church Sunday instead of consenting to listen to the man be eulogized from the pulpit, though.

I’m doing some research about women’s legacies for a writing circle I’m starting next year. Y’all, Mary Shelley doesn’t get talked about enough. I knew enough about her to want to learn more. And I’m a bit obsessed at the moment. Tell me your favorite feminist ideal from a woman in history.

That thing when after several hours of uninterrupted work you have to make sure the dog, that normally interrupts you dozens of times a day, is still breathing. She was. I think the storm last night broke her.

I started playing Spiritfarer again last weekend. Wanna see a beautiful look into the life of a death doula or hospice worker? This is it. It’s cathartic. If you’re grieving, it may bring up memories and sadness. I’ve cried a few times already, but it’s such a healing journey.

Y’all I had to empty my garage today. I took many breaks and drank so much water. I had every door and window out there open, but I still thought I was going to die. Y’all that have to work outside? I’m so sorry. Our unhoused. I cannot imagine. I may not leave my house until October.
