Something I seem to stay behind on

Good morning and how are we all? I hope where you are is safe and DRY!!! And if you’re not in a place that’s dry, please get to one. I have friends and relatives in Texas and I spent the weekend keeping up with them. So far… so good. Houston is in for a crapload of rain. I think we here got off easy with Matthew.

Next weekend is a 3 day weekend! YAY! Spawn and I are going to visit the USS Yorktown in Charleston on Saturday. Looking forward to it. Other than that – housecleaning, laundry and writing. I have an urgent neeeeeeed…

I don’t know about you, but I’m in need of ManCandy Monday!!!! WHOOOOT!

I need a cowboy!

Ya’ll have a great day! Really. Stay dry. Please.

A really shallow predicament

I’m in a funk. I have them and I’ve had them quite often as of late. I’ve not been in the mood to read – that’s a bad funk – I’ve been squeezing out a few pages of Aside and Nemo. I’ve kinda sorta done a bullet for my Nanowritmo, as well as a general outline for my Big Bang. I’m going to be writing like crazy coming November. You might not see me.

Here’s some Richard before I go into the shallow portion of this whine.

To Digital Theatre re. ‘The Crucible’

I didn’t think it was possible for me to hate Digital Theater more than I already did. however, I was wrong and this is why.

The Book of Esther

Dear Digital Theatre Customer Service,

On the 18th of March 2015 I PURCHASED an HD copy of ‘The Crucible’ via Digital Theatre (I still have the e-mail receipt, see attached PDF file).

At the time I was very disappointed that I wouldn’t actually be getting my own download copy (e.g. in mp4 format) for something I have purchased. I always fear buying something that can only be viewed on a certain website as I always wonder, “what happens if the website closes, how will I then access my property?” I was willing to take the risk with Digital Theatre because:

• as an avid Richard Armitage fan, I so very much wanted to be able to access ‘The Crucible’ whenever I wanted to!
• I had also paid to see the play live in London at The Old Vic in July 2014 and I was so very impressed by it, I wanted…

Happy GuyDay!

1 week until Labor Day weekend! (Spawn and I are going to Charleston for a daytrip to visit the Yorktown!) 60 days until Thanksgiving week, which I will be VERY thankful for, and overall 164 days left period end of discussion.

For some days, it’s been obvious our media center has had a midnight guest. We come in to books pulled off shelves, low lying knick knacks in the floor. Sticky paper was put down… to no avail.

This morning we come in and again books are in the floor, sticky paper torn up and tossed and we discover our little visitor in a back corner.

except he’s NOT so little.

I’ve named him Emmett and Emmett is a possum – or an opossum, but here in the South – he’s a possum.

actually, he more looks like this…

Before Animal Control could get here, he slid out of the hole we didn’t know existed and went through the pipe and is – as of an hour ago – hiding in the bushes in a corner no one goes to.

Fun times.

Spawn informed me we can either get a pizza tonight or he can roast a pot roast. Whooo.

I had something I wanted to discuss, but now I can’t remember.

Oh. DIGITAL THEATER! YOU SUCK!

Glad I got that off my chest.

Here. it’s Guy Day. Have some Guy!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Glad I hadn’t ‘bought’ anything from Digital

and if I had, I’d be screaming for my money back. Asshats.

At a loss for words

Which is rare and never seems to happen ever. But I am. Can’t think of a snazzy, eye-catching headline, not talented enough to make a nice photo-shopped greeting.

I’ve been home today. Had an irritable stomach this morning – truth be, I’ve had it for some days, ever since I saw a milkshake twice last Wednesday. I chalk it up to stress and continue on, but this morning, my stomach decided to revolt while I was doing 70 down a major highway. Needless to say, work didn’t happen, and I turned around and came home to some plain oatmeal and water. So not fun.

But I’ve been here, watching webshot after webshot of beautiful things created for – and the charity auction as well and I’m feeling mighty puny at this time.

So for what it’s worth:

Dear Richard – I hope your day was wonderful and I hope your evening is superb. There are no calories on one’s birthday. I hope your coming year is everything you pray and hope it will be. There are awesome people you don’t know who love you muches. I’m one.

Worrisome

I have been extremely thirsty all day. I mean, I can’t get enough water down me.

On one hand, it’s been horrid hot here today. Heat index was 107.

On the other hand, I’ve been in AC all day and night…

Update

Cardiac hearty stuff behind the cut…

ManCandy Monday!

It has occurred to me that my mood has been fowl for a week or so and this bothers me. I’m off meds and stuff, so perhaps I should get back on them. Other things as well, things beyond my control, has contributed to it.

I was sickened by this weekend’s shenanigans in Virginia. I don’t HAVE cable or television, so I was not aware until Sunday what was going on. Really late Saturday.  I don’t consider Tumbler as a reputable place for news and neither is Facebook or Twitter. Regardless, there is a time and place for everything and fists and cars is not freedom of speech. I’m not condoning anything that happened this weekend – from either side!

Well, the Silent March for Peace by the local clergy. That, I condone.

I’m just at a total loss for words. I could break out into a windy discourse, but I… can’t. I won’t. I would meander too much.

I’ve consoled myself with a bit of retail therapy. I’m starting to think i MIGHT have a problem.

For some odd reason, car insurance is jumping up drastically in Georgia. I don’t know why. Mine has doubled since October 2015 and no one is taking new policies. All of my family members are sky-rocketing as well. And that’s all insurance companies, not just mine.

So with my car insurance doubling and my rent going up and Michael returning to school… the belt is getting ready to get tightened.

Oh. We are going into the Interior tomorrow evening until Thursday. He has a cardiologist appointment in Atlanta. That valve that was replaced in 2004, only had a 10 year warranty and in the past, has proven difficult to get a good bead on through normal testing. He’s very nervous. I’m upset because he’s nervous. Prayers and good thoughts for safe travels and easy access would be appreciated.

I don’t know about you, but I could use some Mancandy. Enjoy.
