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

To continue yesterday's post: I've always had at least one person I've considered a best friend. But lately, I've been my own best friend. 💃🏾💃🏽 There have been groups of folks that I've socialized with on a regular basis. Co-workers, friends of friends, other parents in the home schooling community, people I've been in crafting groups with... But I've never had what I consider a group of folks that I could call (or expect a call from) on a Friday or Saturday night regarding a causal evening of chilling at so-and-so's place or grabbing dinner. There was a time when I had something almost like that, with a group of (mostly) women I worked with decades ago. We hung out a lot. Friday night happy hours after work were probably most common. We also vacationed together, went to parties together, celebrated milestones together, and commiserated over our losses. Some of us had families, significant others and/or children. Some of us had o...

Happy Friday folks! 🎊🎊🎊 I hope everyone is healthy and happy. 😀 We getting along here. Daddy is tired, Baby Bliss is tired, I'm tired. A trifecta of fatigue. 😣 Daddy had two doctor's appointments this week so he's probably close to exhausted. On the days he has appointments, we're usually out and about for several hours because it makes more sense to me to stay out while we're already out than to drag him in and out of here more than necessary. Especially this time of year. It's cold here and daddy should not be breathing in cold air because of his COPD. Also the weather could become wet or snowy or icy at any time so if we have a day of "good" weather and we're already out, I run with it. Usually after daddy's appointment(s), we'll eat. Most often it's lunch but once he had an early lab appointment so we did breakfast after. Before we head home, I'll run to Wal-Mart or Aldi or Lidl. Occasionally I'll have...

Howdy folks! I've missed y'all! How is life? I hope everyone is safe and happy. 🙏🏽 There's so much to say and very little time as I am tired, tired, tired. 😩 Best of the current news: Baby Bliss is snoring within earshot. She's visiting for a while, to: help me with daddy, hang out with friends, take a break from her daily routine. Confession: I was watching James Corden and had to change the channel. Sometimes his guests make me nervous. Here's why: some folks are such divas that I just know they're gonna hog his ear. If it's someone I'm fond of, I don't want to see her/him act like that. As well, I don't want to see them get trod upon. So when I'm watching and I get that weird vibe, I have to turn. Janelle Monae and Giselle were on the couch tonight. I wanted to watch but I dared not. In other news, Mercury retrograde wasn't so awful this time. There was some retrospection to be had, for sure. But in my personal realm, ...
