Hello to my four readers! Are you still alive? Am I? Do we all still have Wi-Fi? If you’re in any of the places which has suffered a devastating tornado or hurricane or blizzard or war or uprising, or if you live in Milwaukee proper… you may not now have life or internet access. If […]

Joy Divided and Halloween Rising ⚡️💔⚡️
Wow. It’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything on this site which I pay $120+ to maintain and don’t have the time to use… But I love the five of you who read and then comment… it’s like a really specialized form of social media as you’re not on my other social media or […]
Struck, Hacked and Haunted… yup, It’s the Same-Old, Same-Old. How You?
For my 4 readers, I’ve long discussed the dangers of driving in Milwaukee. Last Friday, I was hit so hard my car was deemed totaled on the scene. It took insurance days and days and drama and stress but eventually they said the same. A driver had hit my car so hard in my passenger […]
The Dog Is Turning Out To Be a Little Creepy
For those who have kept vague track of what I’ve been ranting about lately… my husband and I adopted a incredibly-traumatized dog named June Carter Cash back in December 2021. She is cute. No doubt about it. But she is also the hottest of hot messes. Case in point, she ran full speed into the […]
Social Work Self
My dear Bird Best Friend made me a feature item for my “desk” at work. I asked her to make me one because it reminds me of exactly how I feel in my new job as a state social worker: Crazed Overwhelmed Trying desperately to do good and spread joy and wellness but… I will […]
Halloween Then and Now: Weather and Resilience
OMICATS, everyone! It’s ALMOST HALLOWEEN! The gateway to the Western holiday season is about ready to BLAST OPEN! Here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin the weather has just taken a dark turn: And it’s fantastic. I’ve heard some moaning from others about the weather but this is Halloween weather. I would be so upset if Halloween occurred […]
Halloween APPROACHES: Dead Things Up North
Well, we had our mini break in northern Wisconsin and I had promised to report back on the Halloween situation there. Halloween Up North Status It wasn’t awesome. It didn’t rank on the Halloween meter. At the same time, Hayward, Wisconsin was largely rednecks so that was indeed terrifying (there were also super nice non-redneck […]
Childhood Rediscovery: Find Your Magic
Holy cats, it’s happening. 😻 I didn’t know if I’d make it here. But this evening my husband and I are driving up north to spend a couple nights at a magical place I long ago believed I had made up in my mind. But it’s real! ✨✨ My entire life I have asked people […]
The Darkness
There are some nights – tonight and last night – where I think “I’m just going to bed. This day has felt too terrible too long and it simply needs to end. Here’s to tomorrow.” But then tomorrow comes. And it feels the same. My fucking IUD removal (or Mirena crash which many doctors deny) […]
Ghosts and the Mice Among Us
The house hunt continues! Next up is another weirdo house. Its layout is batty but that’s because it USED TO BE A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY. I’m sure there isn’t any bad energy left there. Beyond the hopefully-not-haunted former residential facility we are seeing tonight, I was super excited to go see a house in Racine and […]
One House We Will Not Be Buying 👻…
Hi there. Two weeks ago I didn’t know if I could continue this blog because I got a real job. And the last two weeks have been crushing, overwhelming and crazy stressful, and it’s been trial by fire and I’ve been thrown into the deep end but… I haven’t drowned yet. Yet. I’m slowly, painfully, […]
What Do You See?
This post is about death, grief, loss, unexplained happenings and also murals… Fair warning and, if you’re here for the murals, just scroll down to the end. The Context/Background So I wrote a ghostly storybook ⬇️ And in this book I summarize all the scary, unexplained and sometimes magical stuff which happened when my husband […]

It’s Happening! It’s the END!!!!!
Wellity, wellity. 2020 is coming to an end. Hypothetically. There is still time for the world to end before 2021. But hopefully that won’t happen. After all, we each likely have hard-wired high, misguided hopes for the new year. Because we have to. Survival requires a little hope, sporadically and strategically spread out over our […]
Dead On My Feet 🦇😺 and I Hear the Four Horses Are Warming Up… Just in Case (Election 2020)
If you follow this little blog, you’ll know I coped with rather terrible medical news a few weeks ago by focusing on how this year I’d be hosting a Vampire’s Dinner Party on Halloween night. IT HAPPENED! This orphan finally used my parents’ Noritaki China dishware, glassware and silverware which years ago I salvaged from […]
My Eyes Are Open: Another Spooky Post
Staring at inanimate objects, looking for messages and signs, is one of my many hobbies. I’m not basing my existence on whatever I imagine I see (or really see) but, rather, it’s an imaginative and pleasant way to spend my free time. For example, a couple months ago I was tromping all over our apartment’s […]
MENTAL HEALTH Requires … Listening to Bauhaus in My Creepy Basement with My Friend Chair
I AM FINALLY GETTING A CHEST X-RAY AND ALSO BLOODWORK! 🙌 Wooooohooooooo!!! I am so old and decrepit I regard this as a major accomplishment. I remember when winning an award or finishing my degree gave me the same sense of accomplishment. It’s a bit sad but… how does it go? Life is what happens […]
Dog or Gremlin
Tuesday marked the 13th year my husband and I have been legally married. Through thick and thin, we have remained married. And now we are older. I should be a writer for Hallmark, I know. And, once we thought about it, since we dated for 5-6 years, we have been together FORFUCKINGEVER. Love him. But […]
Moving Out and We Took the Haunted Mirror With Us (To Goodwill)
Right. So, we started to pack up to ship out. The haunted house had won. Well, it wasn’t as much the weird happenings as much as the whole thing about my mom living her last days and dying in our house. The latter factor was a big one as we didn’t want to continue to […]
The Final Straw!
It took a year but, when 2018 rolled around, my husband David and I were making final plans to put our house on the market. Too much had happened within its walls and we needed a change. And, one night in February, David went to bed early while I stayed up to watch the Winter […]
