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

Happy Thursday folks! I hope you're all somewhere safe and doing well. I'm gonna try to make this fast because I'm supposed to be sleeping. Also because I need to get it out before anything else noteworthy occurs. 😁 So this happened: - A family member saved herself and her neighbors from literally being blown to bits a week ago. She had been smelling "a slight natural gas smell" before she left for vacation. Returned home and the odor was stronger. 😮 My relative called the gas company around 11p.m. Gas company rep arrived around midnight and said yep, gas leaking. He proceeded to knock on the door of the neighbor whose unit the smell seemed to be coming from. No answer. Fire department was called to gain entry. Fire department showed up, opened the door. There was a sleeping occupant who needed reviving. 😱 An ambulance was called. The fire department used equipment to clear the gas fumes from the apartment. The paramedics/EMTs had to remove th...

Hello, hello, hello folks. I hope all is well with everyone. We're just swell here, living and breathing, eating well with a roof over our heads and clean clothes to wear. I'm thankful. 💓 So, as usual, there is lots to tell. Before I get back to more details of my Memorial Day weekend, there is more recent stuff to divulge. But first, let me send my condolences into the Universe, for Anderson Cooper on the transition of his mom, the inimitable Gloria Vanderbilt. May he have peace and comfort for this journey. May her soul merge with the Great Conscious some of us call God and rest easy. In my teens, Gloria Vanderbilt's name was synonymous with looking "fly". Her jeans were highly coveted among the girls I attended junior high and high school with. I don't recall ever owning a pair but the commercial for the jeans was one of my favorite t.v. adverts. I was saddened to hear that she'd passed away and I cried watching the CNN tribute Anderso...

Hello and Happy Wednesday y'all! I hope everyone is safe and sound as you're reading. This will be short because I'm tired. My mom is/was in town for a mini-visit. She drove down to see about grandma (her momma) so she stayed at grandma's house, down in the big city. I was down in the big city Monday and Tuesday, to help clear out old papers at grandma's while my mom and grandma were on the hunt for all pertinent documents and some jewelry my grandma wanted my mom to have. Later, one of my aunts came by with her son. Those two are at grandma's every day any way (they only live a few minutes around a few corners as do a bunch of other cousins) and now days, someone is always sleeping over at grandma's. Baby Bliss was working both days so she missed her granny on this trip. 🌸🌸🌸 Last weekend was busy. I relented on my "no" stance with the Athlete and hung out with him Saturday and part of Sunday. He wanted me to hang out Sunday ni...
