 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| 44 degrees at 12:44 a.m. Tuesday the Ides of March. I posted 3 pieces. Two poems; one micro. I worked on others. It's time for bed. Don mentioned that he sleeps well. One piece of advice was to drink water before going to bed. Not milk, water. I drank tea but I should drink more water. One grumpy observation. It matters little what I've done over the past 2 years. Not on-line nor IRL. I am prone to think that folks are avoiding ME. That may be true... but I suspect that people are just plain avoiding people.  At least poetry month is coming up. Maybe I'll travel?  Still rainy, 46 degrees, gloomy. I did the daily Wordle in 3. Daily Dordle was not so easy, but I got it in 7&5. I used rainy/hotel as my first two words... which is amusing considering I live in an old hotel. These two words have all the vowels except u. Plus h,r,t,l,n are common consonants. I've used heist/bayou but h,s,t,b isn't as strong. Arakun the Twisted Raccoon gave me good advice a while back. My 'free' Dordle is at 87% after 150 tries. That's as good as it gets. Dordle is much harder than Wordle. Double letters are problematic. Like, I couldn't 'see' floss or fifty. I'm proud of pooch/viola in 3/4. I guess our janitor was in hospital for his gall-bladder, but I just saw him. Van has lived here 44 years. Birgit comes from Lubeck and Dan-dan from Fuzhou. I really miss Bri and Travis. And Nick... miss him so much. I did knock on the doorand say hello to Billie Jo this morning. This place is not as lively nor friendly like it once was. 13 of 30 rooms are Airbnb and that doesn't help. I do talk to Tristan, Jay, Mica, Alishka, Peter, Dirk, Julian, Dylan, Angela when I see them.  I told Katya the Poet in "Dew Drop Inn"  :I'm starched; it's the Ides of March! I'm stoked to see this smiling post. Such a thrill come every April. I'm already ready to roast. So much for non-sensical rhyme... It was time to remind everyone.  I used a couple poems I wrote in April 2017 as contest entries this week.  So... I'm bitem-bound and need to unclutter and house-clean if I want to bitemize my poems this year.   36 degrees and snow-mist at 11:06. The sky was white a while back. 16th... I wanted to wear green and orange today and tomorrow but I may settle for bundling up. Wednesday is my shopping day but I may wait. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice. I don't feel well. I look worse. First place for "Unrestrained" I know it needs stengthening, but Darleen likes dark. I suspect there were slim pickings this round.   Sunset is ordered and will deliver. I'm defrosting my refrigerator cube. One is guaranteed... the other isn't promised. Bought cinnamon bread. Remembered to pick up mayo... barely. Hot dogs were much cheaper than bologna. Why?  The 17th. I think of Cindy Wright. Which brings up memories of Kevin. I'm grateful they were part of my life. I wish they still were. A cold sunny 30°F out 'there' at 09:44. It will warm up. I had my toasted cinnamon bread and coffee. One more coffee and I'll cut myself off.   I'm drinking Ethiopian.Time for a shower and dressing myself in orange and green. Wordle... I can do it. 12 in a row; average 4.0. Took me 4 yesterday for 'cater' and 4 today. Dordle is doubly hard; but, 6&3 yesterday for 'pecan' and 'adore'. How I saw 'adore' so quickly I don't know. I fell up the stairs (at the top). No harm done but it's a bit troubling. Found a pan for meatloaf/banana-bread/cake. It fits nicely into my toaster oven. I showed off my green and gold today, so that's making me happy. Over 50 degrees. I can go to the post office, bank and cafe tomorrow. It's supposed to stay mostly nice for a week. The 18th. Cold, raw  It's 51 degrees but it feels much colder.1. Got to post office. Picked up check my sister sent. 2. Went to bank to deposit said check. Saw Val. 3. Went to Health Dept. Tomorrow is walk vaxx. 10-14. So, I did accomplish something. Sunny Saturday. Up early because I HAD to get my covid booster shot. I had lots of concerns but Cathy walked me through it. Got Moderna after my initial J&J. She said I need to drink lots of water and eat. I quiped whether a milkshake would count. I just finished off my pastel green shake at Butterfly Herbs. Folks here made my day. I chatted with a mother and daughter about Salish, Thai, Ukraine/Russia (they also have that ethnicity!). Messes up my fast a bit. Since fasting isn't really about not eating (it's NOT about losing weight) I will continue with other aspects of it and drink lots of water. The New Year cometh. Monday. Donna Freedman: "My own frugal mantra is this: I save where I can so I can spend where I want. Along with my frugal brethren, I make informed choices about my money and my life." I called my sister. Everyone is fine but my mother died March 15th. (1922-2022)  40 degrees, a bit of sun. I was very sick overnight. Haven't been that sick in ages. Up every half hour to pee and drink water; was wobbly, could barely walk, fainting; chills and fevers; body ached. Why? I had gotten the booster (Moderna). I even left the door unlocked so I could be checked on if necessary. 5661 |
