I just spent two days trying to find my laptop computer that I put away when I got my iPad for reasons unknown. Now I’m traveling East and need it to be able to work while I’m back there. I searched high and lo, in every reasonable place a normal person might put their laptop. I finally found it on the floor of my closet under a pile of clothes due to go to charity. I don’t remember putting it there and I sure as hell can’t think of why.
Yep, old age is going to be an exciting journey

It’s not that I mind the snoring…
I just don’t understand why the dog who snores the loudest is the one who feels compelled to climb up onto the pillow and curl up closest to my ear. I end up with dreams of storms and bombs.
Captain’s head
As I suspected, Captain’s head is more resilient than most would imagine. His little oowie, bestowed on him by his cage mate when he got too… hmmm, how shall I put this?… amorous, is healing nicely and he may even get some feathers back in the little hole. Though she seemed to have taken enough flesh to cause a permanent bald spot, that doesn’t seem to be happening. This morning he tried to get to her veggie dish to see if there were pomegranate seeds there before she got to her snap peas. She turned on him in an instant
Life’s embarrassing moments
I brought one of my parrots, Captain, to the vet along with his cagemate, a bare eyed cockatoo named CB, for their quarterly mani/pedi. Both have beaks issues that need addressing with a Dremel and while we’re there, I figure they might as well get a pedi too. As the vet examined Captain, he commented on the wound on Captain’s head. “What wound?” asked his obviously caring and keen eyed mom. “Why the one where a piece of his scalp is missing” sais the (used to be my favorite until he discovered my short comings) vet. And there it was
Another item scratched off my bucket list
Looks like I will be able to legally purchase pot before I die. Who’d have ever thunk?
It was a first for me
Just when I thought I was too old to have anymore firsts in my life, along comes one from a totally unexpected quarter. Every initiative in Tuesday’s election campaign went the way I voted. That has never ever happened to me before. I guess this means that after 42 years, I am finally an official Alaskan.
You end up feeling so helpless
My little BuddhaBubba had some kind of seizure on Sunday evening. I felt so helpless, just holding her and telling her she was going to be ok and not being able to do anything for her. Thankfully my friend Janis was here and drove us to the PET ER. Of course, once we got there, BB just trotted around like everything was fine and she had no idea why everyone was making such a fuss. sigh. For what a Pet ER visit costs, you’d think she could have at least foamed at the mouth a little.
We go to her
If you are reading this and haven’t voted yet…
… then turn your computer off, get your ass off that chair and go vote or do not complain about anything in government or politics for the next two years. You forfeit your right to be disgusted by a government for which you did not even bother to vote!
JEB Bush for president?
Oh sweet lord! Even his mother doesn’t want him to run. Another Bush or another Clinton. Helluva choice.
