Brick.
We did it! Six weeks today since Brick’s surgery! Decided to celebrate with his first neighborhood walk since the “great cutting of ‘24” Right out the gate Maybe lightens her load so I doody-fully bag it and attach it to her halter. My head’s on a swivel because the weeds are 4 feet tall, a mockingbird is following us, so…

My Monkeys, My Circus
This morning started as every other morning; I get up, potty and feed dogs, get in the shower. Things took a turn somewhere between shampooing and conditioning. I get out of the shower and, wrapped in a towel, head towards the room where my clothes live. I happen to glance out the window and see Boyfriend, still clad in his sleepwear, pointing…

Burning Franklins
My boss is from Taiwan, he has been citizenized, a fact he is very proud of! He frequently calls me at random for an “English lesson” if he’s unsure of where to place the “s” or if someone has said something to him in “conversational English” that doesn’t make sense in the Chinese dictionary. If he hears slang, he wants…

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 them, but they didn’t come”…

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 cursed me. Boldly and loudly,…

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 the places where the wood…

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.

It Wasn’t Aliens
I’m not the kind to freak out in a crisis, I’m probably too calm. If I happen to be asleep, I’m so completely irrational you should just leave me for dead. Sometime in the wee hours things happened. Boyfriend lives a block over and he said he heard electrical buzzing and saw flashes of light. I assume Maybe witnessed the…

Dog People
This was how my face looked last Thursday. Boyfriend and I hustled around the grocery store after work to get a handful of items and got to a checkout line with no wait. He puts everything on the belt and we start arguing over who is going to get the honor of paying. I’m in the zone, reciting the list…

Windows.
Most of my rants are intended to be funny, I can find humor in almost anything. Except Windows 10. I’m one of those old weirdos who has worked in an office setting for most of my life. I cut my teeth on Windows 3.0 at my first job but I can’t remember it having any real purpose? It was an…
