August 2021 Extras

murphy at the vet

Here are some thoughts and photos from August that were a little thin for their own posts. New hair, new glasses. I’ll get a kickier pair from Zenni as my backup, and find a Lion’s Club bin for my older…

More about Ollie

I feel the need to keep writing about Ollie to record and remember what an amazing dog he was. When we first got Ollie, we lived in the Dee-Luxe apartment in the sky which was on the 8th floor. WM…

Today was my last summer Friday (keen, wail) and I spent it at the beach. This’ll be my last trip there for the season, but I might try to get there in September. That all depends on work. This is…

Everyday I’m bumblin’

Our garden this year is not without its failings, but at least the bees had a place to congregate. I’m trying to be more welcoming to bees this year and these chunky buzzers made it easier.

Virgo SZN. Yay.

Yeah, I’m still here, slowly picking up the daily rhythm again of chores and routine and limping through the rest of what was not a great August. The squirrels are stealing the large tomatoes from my garden while they’re still…

Benign results and a slightly torn ACL

What are, “answers to things that Kim has going on?” Tuesday’s biopsies went better than I could have imagined. I felt no pain during the procedure, and just pinchiness and bruising in the following days. The doctor decided to biopsy…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
