An Argument in an Old Marriage
I Have no Nipple and I Must Squirt
When I was nursing, my breasts were often full of milk. When my husband, the alien, said something off-the-wall in the privacy of our home, I would squirt him. I also appreciated the comfort of nursing.
After the mastectomy my breasts again filled with fluid. I knew it wasn’t milk.… Read full post »
Yay -- The Cancer is Gone
The Pathology Lab is Slooowwwwww
Cancer is Chaos
This cancer stuff is vicious.
I got the report on the lumpectomy. They didn’t get it all, so now I have to go back for a mastectomy. I asked the surgeon to schedule it soon so I could get it over with. She asked if I want reconstruction. I told… Read full post »
Long Life Warranty
Ghosts from the Past
My friend Jean had a parakeet that loved to ring its bell. That parakeet has been dead many years, but Jean and her houseguests often hear that bell.
I recently had a houseguest who asked me when we’d gotten a new dog, and how did we get one that looks… Read full post »
Entertainment is Fragile
I used to get upset when people talked during movies because it meant I was missing the dialogue. But now, I watch most of my movies at home. I can press the pause button on the remote. I can even rewind and see / hear something again if I’m unsure about… Read full post »
Every Other Day
When I was in physical therapy, Young PT gave me a list of exercises, complete with pictures, and asked if I was willing to do them every day. He sounded bored, like he asks everybody this question and is ready for an argument.
“I will do more than… Read full post »
My Husband is on the Pill
After my husband’s recent surgery, he came home with a catheter. When he went back to have it removed a week later, he couldn’t urinate on his own. The nice female nurse showed him how to catheterize himself and gave him a bag full of sterile packaged catheters to take home.… Read full post »
BeWithing
My daughters tell me I’m high maintenance.
I don’t want gifts that can be bought at a store. I want time. I don’t care if the time is spent chatting in the living room, walking by the river, cooking in the kitchen, or reading aloud. I want what I

I went to a Toastmasters meeting that was supposed to showcase a skilled speaker from out-of-town. It turned out to be a sales pitch, but the speaker did use some interesting techniques, that felt lifted from religious services. Lots of stand-up and sit down, hand clapping, shouting, call-and-respons… Read full post »
Tits Forward
At the Liberal Potluck
One of the first shows I remember watching on television as a teenager (my family was late to get technology) was one about a woman who infiltrated the Communist Party. This woman discovered that some of her neighbors were Communists. She reported them to the FBI and the FBI asked

The cart corral at my local grocery is convenient to the parking lot, but out-of-the-way if you park a bicycle beside the store. Wearing my helmet, sunglasses with rear-view mirrors, and carrying my pannier (bike bags) I spied a cart near the door, and walked briskly towards it.
An employee

Good Deeds?
When possible, I like to connect people I think could help each other. Often it works out. I recommended Young PT to a computer client who damaged her rotator cuff. I share recipes and baking samples with neighbors.
And I thought it would be helpful when one of my computer… Read full post »
No Leverage in Yoga
I’ve done spine twists, sitting sideways on a chair, using the back of the chair for leverage to increase the twist for over 30 years. For over 30 years, I’ve enjoyed the warmth along my spine after a good twist. Until my last yoga class.
We sat in our chairs.… Read full post »
Small Exercise is Wonderful
I’ve been taking Feldenkrais classes at my gym for about a year now. The teacher is always telling us, you don’t have to make the biggest motion you can. You can make it small. You can even imagine yourself doing it.
I thought this was for the less fit students,… Read full post »
Men Think They Know Everything
Men think they know everything.
Boys, too.
I read once that a man will think he’s qualified for a job if he has 40% of the required skills. A woman will think she’s not qualified if she has 90% of the required skills.
I wondered how young this… Read full post »

Random Acts of Literacy
Another short blog this week. I follow Jane Yolen on Facebook. She introduced me to http://randomactsofliteracy.weebly.com/
This site suggests that people give books to strangers that they meet in public places.
Usually I resell mine or trade them for credit at my local used… Read full post »
