Water: I never drink enough. I don’t know how other people manage it. One glass and I feel nauseous – water is so heavy and it just sits there in your system. Also, it’s disgusting unless it’s very very cold, but has no ice. I don’t like ice.
Water-wings: Puffy. Orange. Psychological. Anyone who [...]

Every family has one: the one relative you only speak of in hushed voices, the one who is a little more off-center than the rest of the clan, even if the rest of the clan is eccentric to start with. In our family, this role was taken by my grandmother’s younger sister, Violet.
I’m [...]

Update: When I said Monday or so? I meant a week from today, not today. Still, plans go forward.
Upheaval: I gave my boss 60-day notice today, and asked to be part of the process of hiring my replacement. I also offered to work on a contract basis, until he found someone, after the [...]

Tired: This is how I’ve felt all too often these past few months. I think it’s stress. Or maybe it’s just that I’m not eating right, and spending too much time at computers.
Tea: I’m equally in love with tea and coffee. I said once that one was my reading brew, and the other [...]

Sleeping late on Saturday morning, I lie in a state half-sleeping, half-waking, listening with one ear, to the soft whirring of the a/c on “fan” setting combined with the silky susurration of the wind in the trees outside. I am silent, but the dogs are snoring, and so if Fuzzy, the three of [...]

You used to be my number one
But now your flip side ain’t much fun
At 45 you’re much too fast
(For me, for me, for me)
So slow it down to 33
You bruised me raw (???)
You broke my heart
You’re slipping
You’re sliding right up up a chart

The lyrics have no relation to the entry, really, I just [...]

Sara Paretsky’s fictional detective V.I. Warshawski once riffed on comfort foods, mentioning that all comfort foods begin with the letter p. I’m not sure that ALL comfort foods fit that rule, but there are an awful lot that do: pepperoni, pasta, pita, pastrami, piroshki, pashka, pickles, popovers, pistachios, porridge, pudding, pizza.
Ah, pizza. I’ve [...]

::Capricious: Governed or characterized by impulse or whim, lacking rational basis or likely to change suddenly::
Onesome: Characterized by impulse– Do you consider yourself impulsive or do you tend to think everything through before you make a move?
I’m impulsive about some things, less so about others. When I met Fuzzy I knew he was THE ONE, [...]

It’s a quiet night here at Casa Caffeinated. Fuzzy’s sitting at the computer cataloguing his comic books, taking breaks to quench his thirst with warm orange soda. (He’s quirky that way.)
I’m in the bed, a quilt wrapped around my feet, and a dog on my lap. He watches my hands on the keys, [...]
