2 be Bliss, as I dance along the road to Nirvana...

Good day and happy happy Wednesday folks! My apologies for not getting swiftly to my Mercury retrograde escapades but my acknowledgement of the death of our Queen Aretha took precedence. She reminded me so much of my godmother... My prayers for her family and friends, as they begin their journey of life without her. 😔 🌸 🌸 🌸 Et maintenant, let's get to it! Mercury has gone direct, thank you gods! The most recent Mercury retrograde (roughly July 25 - August 15, depending on who you ask) was a whirlwind of hot ass messiness for me. Yes, yes, yes, I heard from the "exes": the Astronaut (a call and a few texts), the Man-in-Waiting (a call), a guy who has no nickname (texts), and the guy I had the date with on Sunday, August 12 (a few calls and several texts). All calls went directly to voicemail. Y'all know why. The messy part concerned the two "exes" with no nicknames. One I had a date with and one I never did meet but we'd e-mailed...

All hail the Queen! Thank you for all you've given us. Rest in power auntie... ✊🏽

Happy happy Tuesday y'all! I hope everyone is somewhere safe and that everyone has  enough . There's a cricket somewhere near. It's loud. But I can't tell if it's inside or out. I'm hoping it's out because bugs inside are a no-no. My living room windows are open and I'm sitting on the floor in front of the sofa, enjoying the breeze. I can also hear the sound of hundreds of gallons of water being wasted because my neighbor forgot to turn the spigot off after she used her hose. 😩 I texted her but it's late and dark. Maybe she'll turn it off tomorrow. 🌸 🌸 🌸 Sunday's date was fun, despite a few red flags. We met at a place I've had many dates, one of my favorite restaurants down in the big city. We shared calamari appetizers, had a few drinks (my favorite non-alcoholic beverage for me). After we finished our respective main courses, we headed out for a walk. Back story: We'd met online a week or so earlier and talke...

Happy, happy Sunday folks! As always, I hope everyone is somewhere safe and doing well. There has been so much going on in my life... First, I'm having issues with figuring out how to convert the audios to some type of video format because Blogger (a.k.a. Google) doesn't allow me to just straight up embed the audio files here. Are y'all asking why the heck not? So am I. But let's move on, shall we? 💁🏽 I'll go back and work my way to "now", but full disclosure: I have a date in a few hours so I might be speed writing. If anything sounds weird, don't worry. I'll return later to smooth it all out. 🌸 🌸 🌸 After thinking I might put a little more time between visits to daddy, fate intervened in a way I probably would have seen coming if I had been using my rational mind.  When I returned home from my June visit, my father's wife was living in the nursing home along with daddy. Well, one fine day, her warden (a.k.a. her d...

Happy, Happy Thursday everyone! I hope everyone is safe and happy. I am and I'm thankful. A howling storm tore through our neighborhood last night. Lots of debris was strewn about when I went out this morning. Tree branches, tree bark, leaves... There was also a lot of muddy dirt on my porch because one of my flower pots blew over. I accept total blame because the pot was top heavy. There were no plants in it, just dirt and the pinwheel flowers I bought from Dollar Tree to brighten up the porch and entertain me a bit when the wind stirs. I rearranged things out there today so hopefully the next monsoon won't disrupt the porch tableau. So about that new thing I mentioned in my last post: audio files supplemented with photos and/or videos because I've been really bad at updating the blog lately. I want to stay current because as much as I enjoy sharing my life with y'all, this blog is also my living memoir. For as long as I'm living. After I'm gone i...

Hello and Happy Thursday folks! 😀😁 It's been a while, yes? My sincerest apologies everyone but I have been busy. I hope to make up for it with Something New for the blog. Stay tuned. 👀👂
