Jan 31

“It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” Benjamin Franklin What a day I had yesterday.  Talk about that later. One weather service says big snowstorm tonight, the other says a small one. Either way, I was down to four pieces of firewood. I spent…


Jan 28 It’s all too funny

If you wondered why my posts have become so generic. It is because I am not sure how to handle my current situation. My health is declining, and I am not able to find a doctor willing to help. I made a trip to town today. I thought  I better get some cat food in…


Jan 27 Dark & Terrible

“I don’t mind telling a dark side.” Clint Eastwood There is a place so scary, that I am barely able to say its name. A place so dark and full of very bad things. I had to go in there today, yes I am talking about under my desk. I had a speaker malfunction and…


Jan 26 Down not out

“When I got knocked down, I got back up.” Andy Ruiz Jr. In a few minutes, I will do as I do most days in the winter. I will go out and prepare wood for the fire. Nothing  special.  The pains I feel move to different locations some days, but mostly the pain originates in…


Jan 25 Mo deer

“A wounded deer leaps the highest.” Emily Dickinson In the last couple of days, I have been watching a herd of deer digging through the snow to get at some food. I admire them, I don’t have a rock-solid reason why. I just like them. Maybe it is because against all odds year after year,…


Jan 24 Dessicated

  “Only the mediocre are always at their best.” Jean Giraudoux I am staring at a flashing cursor and a blank screen. I just had my morning coffee and my dehydrated scrambled eggs.

Jan 23 Grey Day

“Always the cat remains a little beyond the limits we try to set for him in our blind folly.” Andre Norton Today seems to be another one of those days the pain in my body exceeds the ability to act on ambitions. In plain English performing even the smallest tasks near impossible. Thank god it…


Jan 22 Good or Evil

“Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil”. Marcus Aurelius Thick ice fog. No trip to the doctor. I texted a friend about that. I mentioned that God did not want me to go to the doc. The reply had more to do with Satan than God. Considering the…


Jan 21 2 little 2 much

Ice fog morning. Same deal, gather wood split wood and bring wood in. Thankful that the polar vortex has moved on. I was able to sleep for more than four hours at a time. That doesn’t mean that it wasn’t cold his morning in the house, it just meant the cold wasn’t enough to kill….


Jan 20 I think

“All diseases run into one, old age.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Ya know you are getting old when: You become an eternal signaler. Yup did that today signal light was on for at least 5 miles. I had tried to pass another van. The roads were icier than they appeared. I could tell that when the…
