Well, Joker Part Deux the film comes out in theaters ON my birthday again. Also, it turns out that I didn’t fail the test I referenced in my last post which signified how I was falling apart. So I guess I’m not falling apart. That should be a comfort to me but of course it […]

Uprisings, Revolts… Mutants, Naps
First of all, this post is being published on 4/14/2024 and it was started in February. I can’t edit the date of publication because this old Dell is too old for the Word Press updates and I spend most of the time writing a blog valiantly defending my right to edit my own post. ANYWAYS, […]
Profile of Broken Dogs
Hello there. 👋 I can’t access my site via my PC anymore due to systemic changes and, since it was such a DIY build, I can no longer update my site (I had manually add each new post to my Rants) but… Oh well! 😺 As a quick recap, Halloween is alive and well here. […]
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 […]
Our House Is Trying to be Haunted: Fun New Things
So it seems our old new house is haunted as I originally feared/expected. First of all, spider webs are EVERYWHERE. I dropped a cap from a juice bottle accidentally and it fell down the basement stairs. I groaned and walked ALL THE WAY AROUND the banister to go down the stairs to pick it up […]
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 […]
Full-Blown Social Worker
I wondered when IT would kick in. (Here I have repeatedly tried to insert a photo of Stephen King’s It – the 1980s movies version of course but my phone refused… so… I guess it’s a fan of the more recent movies. Let’s see… Yup. Huh. In any case, I’ve been going through all this […]
Spring Fever!
Okay. So we are in World War III. That’s pretty surreal and yet… in a way, I can’t help but ask “What took us so long?” For people who argue we are not in World War III, more countries are presently engaged in the Russia vs Ukraine War than in any other war. Even little […]
The Revelations/Revolutions of June
There’s those days of self-pity where you just have to crash out Les Misérables’ I Dreamed a Dream on the piano and make your dog serve as unwilling witness. Speaking of the dog, June Carter Cash has just started eating on her own. This is a revelation. I came home from work late one night […]
Teaching a Dog to Be a Dog
I am building up the will to discuss neurological issues and how I quit my job this week but also… didn’t… but who cares about any of that! NOT ME! So this week I’m going to focus on my new understanding of what people mean when they say you need to teach a dog what […]
Hold on… hold on…
This week I’m identifying most and best with my broken car fob and our traumatized, terrified yet indignant and supremely weird new dog. This is because recently I hit a wall due to the rut of our present existence and other factors. When you’re feeling low, it’s good practice to count your blessings. There is […]
COVID and the Saddest Dog in the World
COVID has become a regular part of daily life. We live in a time of plague. Putting on a mask when leaving the house has become commonplace. Not seeing friends and family has become normal. My innate desire to feel repulsion when seeing a large group of people has been allowed to flourish along with […]
Have the Circus Pick Me Up: A Holiday Tale
I’ve found another career path: the circus. It’s not a huge surprise as I’m from Baraboo, Wisconsin, which is known as “Circus Town, USA” due to it being the home of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Maybe your grandmother didn’t take you and your cousins to the circus every summer but mine […]
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
“Peace and love.” Easy to say but super difficult to feel. Yet, while I’m super tired out from an especially hellish month of work and also family drama and other life stuff… … I’m still doing my best to channel George Michael and hold on to some Christmas cheer. As such, I’m making a list […]
To Mastiff or Not To Mastiff
My epilepsy is stretching… Uh-oh. The fact that I’m aware of it stirring is alarming because it’s difficult to do under the cloud of medication I take to keep it still so, when I can sense its movement… I used to tell friends I was “happy” about having epilepsy because it served as a kind […]
The Hallmark Movie Has Begun… Will It Turn Into a Shudder Movie… STAY TUNED! 🤷🏻♀️😂
What the hell am I going on about now? THE ANSWER We GOT AN ACCEPTED OFFER ON A HOUSE THIS WEEK! So I’ve talked about how I’m relentless/resilient… something terrible happens and I just keep going and act like it was nothing. Just keep going… don’t let anyone get an edge on you… stay upright… […]
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 […]
Nature Had Its Way With Us
I once read a study which claimed that Milwaukee was the safest place to live (when only considering natural disasters). Otherwise, it’s a bit fucked here and we’ve managed to altar the mortality statistics with other human-made variables (structural racism, systemic poverty, corruption, crime etc.). But Milwaukee’s citizens don’t usually see hurricanes or mudslides or […]
