Rough day for Susie Psychologist; weaving words like armor to avoid the wounds of words.  E-mail confrontations over stuff that’s really only stuff yet sentimental means it means much more.  The ring is gone, I tell her, I told you … Continue reading →

Ah, double-entry bookkeeping.  I understand the concept well. So I attempt to unravel the large figures into smaller ones that have some meaning.  Many simply don’t; made up in the head of a bookkeeper with a purpose. The lawyers, she … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Weird.  Today I said that I hadn’t used Excel in years but would have no problem picking it back up. Tonight I’m putting together an Excel spreadsheet for a deadline tomorrow morning for the attorneys. Continue reading →

Thanks to all of you who’ve e-mailed or asked about my lack of blogging–or reading or writing.  I should be back on  track sometime this week. As most of you know, I’ve been having some legal problems with my sister … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Just a wish for all the true meanings of this holiday:  sacrifice, love, renewal of earth and spirit.  Be kind and thoughtful to each other. Happy Easter. susan Continue reading →

Neat day today, although I’ll still be in the frameshop catching up.  But there are some literary I-gotta-do’s that will be pushed in between here too.  Got a red eyeball; suitable for scaring small children.  I don’t remember getting something … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I hear my name called out.  It trails as if it were driving by without the gravel-sound of the cars that go to work, come home, or maybe just take joyrides on a warm new spring day. But there’s the … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Here it is, Sunday afternoon, and I’m working in the shop.  I promised two customers that they can come in on Monday and Tuesday to pick up–two days that I’m closed–because customer service requires compromise.  The two orders are a … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I’m making dinner, computing, and watching Conan the Barbarian on TV.  A village is getting slaughtered while a buncha people sing in the background.  With just about all the villagers dead, one lady and a kid face down the bad … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Too bad it’s not a case of global cooling…  Sitting here thinking about the world situation.  Thinking future changes to the environment (and why is that so strange?  The earth has changed its makeup constantly.) and thinking of the power … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I’ve tried to put it off, I really have.  Because of those extra pounds that showed up on the cardiologist’s scale (though only half that many showed up on mine at home.)  But times are tough, and chocolate cake with … Continue reading → Continue reading →

The Dream:  I wake to Jim coughing hard, slip out of bed and squeeze from a tube several translucent strips of medicine.   They are the diameter of toothpaste, violet blue with glitter suspended within.  I bring them back into the … Continue reading → Continue reading →
