Say Hello To My Little Friend
When Pacino burst into the room brandishing his machine gun and shouting "Say hello to my little friend" I fell even more in love with him. That scene remains my fantasy of how to handle all the asshats and douches in my world.
On a far more peaceful level ...
This is my little friend Raoul. He walks up and down the driveway or back and forth along the curb stone whenever I bring out the trash or stumble over to get the mail. Everyone laughs and tells me it could not possibly be the same bird. No one believes but my granddaughter Hope. Hope believes me.
If I hurry into the side door Raoul will peek at me for a moment and then take off to join his family in the tree down the road.

The Help
My closets have needed to be cleaned out forever. Change of seasons is usually a perfect time but this year winter seems to want to hold on while spring is tentative and now summer just wants to blast on through.
Saturday it was raining and 40 degrees F
Tomorrow it's supposed to near 90
How does one dress?
Layers I suppose
I started closet cleaning this weekend.
Isadora helps.
She gets very insulted if I move her so she is the perfect excuse to walk away and leave the closet for another day.

Barbara and Bowzer
By now I'm sure you've seen the video of ...
Barbara Garcia
Finding her best friend Bowzer alive and well in the debris of their home
CBS This Morning will be checking in with them tomorrow morning.
Check out this article on how you can help the animals of Moore, OK - Petside article
If you're attention deprived you can access the donation page for the OK Humane Society here - Donation Page
During Hurricane Sandy I had the cat carriers and food and meds all laid out just in case the evacuation zone extended to my home. The idea of struggling with all that during a storm was daunting so I really empathize with Barbara and all those who do their best to protect their loved furry ones.

It's All About Me
Not something I say much, not my style.
My infrequent posts and visits to all of you has been bothering me. I value our connections and always feel "schmucky" when I don't check in on youse guys.
I just don't feel well.
I am constantly uncomfortable, sometimes in pain. It makes me grumpy and worse, it makes it really hard to focus for very long. I lose my train of thought and ...
What was I saying?
Oh yeah - I feel like shit on a shingle. One of my Mom's favorite sayings.
I keep getting mystery infections. By the time they figure out what the hell is going on I've spent days with a fever, falling asleep every 2 hours.
Like a newborn.
The problems at home have gotten so toxic that I have started to look for a place of my own. Lots of luck on that front. Hurricane Sandy has contributed to a huge shortage of affordable housing in all of the counties I'd like to live in.
I hesitate to discuss my relationship with my daughter-in-law out of respect and love for Hope. I'm just going to say that it is impossible for us to exist in the same zip code let alone the same building - doesn't matter how big this freakin' house is.
I can't contribute to this household on my disability income the way I did when I was working. That appears to be a punishable offense.
Anyhoo - I feel like I've already said too much and that I'm whining. Neither is attractive.
I think I'll try to post more on The Photo Blog and I will do my best to visit.
Be kind to one another - you have no idea how important that is.
