The Bag Lady

Cold and high winds gusting to 65mph today are typical winter fare for Cheyenne. You need a flak jacket just to take the trash!

Countdown is 13 days till move into new apartment, and even though I’m nervous about it, I am committed. My grandson came over the other night and got me started, taking down pictures and curtains. Then asked, do you feel naked yet? I said no, thinking of all the little stuff that needed to be wrapped in bubbles and not looking forward to doing that. This (handy)?? tape dispenser is supposed to be easy—not.

I’m not moving my king sized bed, and glad to be rid of it. It takes forever to make and unmake it to launder. “Picture it” as Sophia would say, squirming around trying to put the sheets on, or maybe you shouldn’t 😂 At least I’m not going to Shady Pines!

But I am starting to feel naked. I have two heavy desk drawers and a Fibber McGee closet left to do, so I’m on a roll, literally. Oh I crack myself up 🤯😱🙄.

Have a great day and take time to remember the fallen.

It was the glint from the spangle that caught his attention. As she drew nearer, a new sensation filled his veins. The bashful freshman decided to approach. Previously he had been lost in the crowd of overbearing college classmates, but seeing her, he pushed those awkward feelings aside. Could this be the woman he was waiting for, the girl of his dreams? No longer the shy boy, he moved toward her.

Clouds are rumbling

Stomach tumbling

This is the night

For my horrible plight

I tried to resist

But IT did insist

Initiation was due

I wish it was you.

After reading this news bit, I think we need to find these people a job. If all they have to do in a day is peruse the media looking for ways to hurt people, let me give them a shovel and direct them to the nearest cow barn.

And some went much darker, like Tennessee congressional candidate Robby Starbuck and alt-right social media personality Mike Cernovich. Many observers noted the irony of the pile-on, given that Big Bird is both a fictional character and one known for spreading messages of kindness and curiosity. Plus, they pointed out, this isn’t the first time he’s gotten vaccinated.

My power is moving about quickly like Edward the vampire in the “Twilight” movie series. I will pack my entire apartment in 30 minutes and be done. At this speed I will have no time to reminiscence over sentimental items, or take time making the take or leave decisions. So I’m ready to have this superpower today! Now where’s Eddie when I need him?
