Fish On!
I actually got my butt in gear early this morning, early for me, earlier than the hot. I wanted to give the dogs a walk before it was miserable out – and I also had a long list of things I wanted to accomplish outside before miserable tested my Secret. We were only about 500 […]

Helpless Rage to Hysteria
Were you wondering how it ended? I’m still wondering if it has ended because, at the moment, my finances look like that junk drawer with 3 corroded batteries, 17 expired rubber bands, two gift cards to Mervyns and every non-working pen in existence. Sometime around 6pm on the 28th the local bank branch manager finally […]

Helpless Rage
I mean, I did name my blog Daily Complaints and today’s aggravation is a real humdinger! All day I have been suffering a feeling that I can only describe as “helpless rage” because, I am angry. Really really angry! But I feel completely stuck in this holding pattern of “just wait” and it’s almost crippling. […]

If […]

Mouse Tale
Yesterday I was in the office working and I heard Boyfriend walk in. Seconds later he was shouting “Maybe! Brick! MAYBE!! BRICK!! Get in here!” I walked into the kitchen to see what the commotion was about and Boyfriend barked at me “Your dogs don’t listen! There was a mouse in the kitchen! I called […]

Mother’s Curse. Introduction.
I was a pain in the ass kid. I can’t candy coat it. I secretly [with my outside voice] take pride in knowing most of my mom’s grey hairs are my fault. I think she should look at each as a trophy and be proud that we both survived my teens. But no, instead she […]

But I do like tea…
What is good about having a pet? The question immediately takes my thoughts to the outrageous vet bills, the pet insurance that jumped 70% in premium, the dog food that doubled in price during transportation issues caused by covid – but of course never came back down. The dark spots on all my rugs and […]

Bike Lane
A girl rode her bike on the sidewalk, staring at her phone. There was a bike lane. There was a horn. Lessons were learned.
