Oh gawd, What a week already. I did some things around the house but sleeping has become the norm, when I'm not eating. So. On the 26th, it will be one year since #9 shot across the sky in rocking light of fire. It was Friday, just about noon on that day when I whispered in her ear and ask if this was it. She said three words. I love you. Gone like that. On Friday that week she was in Phoenix at the Cancer Center of America. Walking, Talking and doing her thing. Although the news was shitty as hell and they said she would be needing to check in to hospice centers back in Texas, she walked to the airplane, flew back to Texas and walked to her car at the airport. She was a tough old broad as Mom would say. She called me on her journey home to tell me the news and what they had advised her to do. It was a tough talk but we had it. I drove over to see her for the weekend and knew when I left Sunday I would be back on Wednesday, which i did. When I got there Tuesday she was in...

I've been watching Leslie Jordan on TikTok. It's absolutely what everyone needs right now. https://vm.tiktok.com/7MGmNB/ Yes, I'm bored as hell too. I've sat here at the computer thinking of things to look up and can't think of one damn thing, and as soon as I get busy I'll remember everything I should have looked up. In late breaking news the garbage disposal quit working and was only humming. I thought for sure I had a project on my hand, so off to the internet I went researching disposals and self installs. I spent two days narrowing it down to three models and I was going to pull the trigger until I saw a video that would change all that. yes, ho's its called a jam wrench and it's a real thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0OByRuoYM0 Yes ho, I had on several occasions saw this little tool and wondered what the hell it was and how to use it only to toss it out. Well, It worked and all the excitement around here has come to a damn ha...

So the pool is up and in operation. It was 93 here today and by all means, swimming time. It was the best $58 investment I have ever made. I plan to have the worlds best tan!!!! or skin cancer. San Antonio begin the mandatory face covering while in public, I noticed when I went to wash the truck (I have a monthly membership so I'M USING IT!!) mostly everyone had one on. Don't fret I don't exit the truck or touch anything on this venture out. Anyho, if any of you were wondering why you didn't see Jordan in any of the photos? let me explain. He graduated three years ago, had a full ride scholarship to Incarnate Word University here in San Antonio for football. He attended for one semester and decided he wanted to return home and that's where he's been ever since. We hear from him and he comes to visit but he mostly is just hanging out. Trying to find himself and all that shit, has his own place. Hanna graduated last year right after Jana di...
Sunday

Yes, Every single day is Sunday. I had to venture out today with mask and gloves on. I hate that Texans are just not giving a shit about any of this. I witnessed so many families out roaming the aisle at Walmart, as you know I hate this store but have no choice, none of the folks had mask on, not even for their children. San Antonio supposedly started a city ordinance that all folks above 10 yrs. old must wear a mask. so much for that. My youngest niece came to visit right before the quarantine and has been here ever since. It's nice to visit with her, she's had some bumps in the road since sissy died but we make progress every day. Just last night I dyed her hair and gay uncle specialty. Burgundy was her color of choice and it turned out great, very little change from her original but just enough for both of us to giggle at the results. I turned her worst case scenario we could dye it back to brown. I'm preparing the pool I bought for tanning and floating until...

Well HELLO Ho's!!!!! So what did I miss? Yes, I'm back..... After several years on facebook and neglecting my blog, I've decided to come back over here and spill my guts. The thing I've learned about facebook, some of the folks reading my blog really couldn't give a shit and you always had to worry about who you would offend or upset. I had worn out my welcome. Will I leave again? maybe who knows but for right now this feels good. So HERE I AM!!! woohooo. Do I expect anyone to read this and comment?? no. This is me being able to just say what the fuck I want and letting it get out there and out of my head. So much. So where do I begin? Like so many of you I am at home. I was furloughed yesterday and I say THANK GAWD!!!! It was so slow and I just wanted to get to the part where they said, "Hey Guys, go home" So is it permanent? no. I will keep you posted. SO let me get you up to date. Alright. So most of you know that my sweet sister aka #9 l...

I've learned a lot in the last few years. One thing is my ability to keep moving forward regardless of what's happening around me. My sister is terminal, a lifer. She's now 46 and her youngest just turned 10. 6 years ago it was breast cancer and lymph nodes. We had hoped it was all behind us but this was a hope we only wished for. MD Anderson said two years. I remain calm and steady, on the outside. Inside I'm a flying superman with a wicked cape that doesn't keep me at a level altitude. I die with every bit of turbulence. I will never breath a word of this to anyone, my mad ride in my head. My Facebook post are generic. This will now be my place to let it go. All of it. Bill will never understand my thoughts on any of this. He's never even lost a parent. He still lives in the innocent world that everybody lives forever. Sure people have survived this. Bob lost his sister and I read every post of his. It broke my h...

I swear the folks here are so damn crazy. Last night we had a cold front roll through promising, get this, temps in the low 30's with the possibility of sleet. You would think the polar ice caps were rolling through. People at the store pushing and run over you to get food. Anyho, they closed schools everywhere today. I knew they would. So here it's 37 and tomorrow the high will be 68 with 75 the high on Sunday. Amazing. Bill is in Oklahoma and I miss him. He's working oilfield things and he's supposed to make it back down this way. I told him that I will only tolerate the long distance thing for a couple of months which he promises is all they required. I watched The Butler again last night and can't believe it was snubbed for the Oscars which by the way don't seem as exciting as years passed. Only thing to look forward to is Ellen. I pray she has some good stuff and writers@@! I'm planning a huge surprise Birthday party for Bill which, wait for...
