 |   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.

| Covid-19 is raging through Montana, especially among Native populations. The 22nd registered the second highest number of new cases. 10% of testing comes back positive. 30% of those hopitalized leave in a casket. 2% mortality rate overall. Folks think this is getting better? Come here and tell that to my face with your mask off! Cough-cough... you're it. As for smoke... it's back up to an AQI of 90... and I can feel it.  Will I be able to go out Wednesday the 23rd? Will shall see. For
Brian ~ Kognitive DissonanCe  states in "A Slower Return"  "Make the most of each moment...before it's gone". How do you make the most of each moment?I don't. Sorry... that's the truth. Especially when I'm depression napping. I'm not tired-in-a-good-way. I'm just worn out. Normally I'm more like a jumpy rabbit. Spurts of energy interspersed with little movement. I don't plod like a tortoise. With people I'm more feline than canine. I'm not a pack animal, which in this moment means I spend too much time alone. I like to be around people on my own terms. Which isn't possible now. That said Brian's poem focuses on a dead leaf  that in it's de-construction is 'giving back'. I can embrace that.    I do make memories when I travel. My photos take me back. But I know I not 100% present, not then, not now. Photos: finished New Years, January 25th, in Taipei... and the 26th. IceSkatingSugarCube  in "Dom Flemons Can Carolina My Chocolate Drops Anytime" went to a Cowboy and Poetry gathering. She posted two videos (one with her in the audience). I commented: "Funny that the first thing I notice is the difference between hair up and hair down. Yep, see you in the audience. Cowboy music and poetry together makes some sense because (my understanding) both based on the ballad (often 8/6 in English). Did not go out as AQI was 90-ish. Possible sprinkles by morning... I can only wish. So no 'lunch'. I made my own: pork and spinach, cottage cheese and pear-ginger jam. Found (re-found) some old postcards; some go back to the 1960s. I wonder who'd like to receive an 'oldie'. Just talked to my sister. Got mom's new phone number and her address. Today was her 70th wedding anniversary but she was meh... according to my sister. She doesn't have Alzheimer but at age 98 she has 3 types of days... 1a lucid, as in all there and knows who you are. 1b. lucid, but fictional stories, believable ones. 2. paranoid? just not in her right mind. Could be due to meds and/or when she has a UTI. L.A. Grawitch  will be glad when the Season of Politics has passed. I know many here would concur. It's depressing and divisive. "Least favorite season" I responded; "I have friends that have quit spacefook ... I have warned them that I will not friend them again ... because? Apparently 2 [of my] friends were hacked this week and I got requests. I don't have time for games and I won't expose myself to hackers. I don't unfriend people but I've placed people on snooze for 30 days and should again soon (for my peace of mind). For me it's not differing political views, rather conspiracy theories, racism and islamophobia. I can get past the anti-vaxxers, the anti-maskers and anti-everything ... to a point. The fact-challenged " I Luv A Lie " crowd just works me into tizzy. I've cut back a lot. In the past we had these conversations face-to-face. The internet depersonalizes most everything." Just my opinion. |
