Friday 5: GOAT

August 30, 2024 by Kimberly

friday, august 30

Happy Friday, which is also National Beach Day (I hardly was there this summer, booo) and National Grief Awareness Day and really, is there anybody who isn’t aware of grief? This has been a nutty week, with us returning from Seattle, a steroid shot in my shoulder, and a few not-great days of work, plus […]

AI has it handled!

a young, sleepy bird hiding from the rain in our birdfeeder

On Monday night there was a deluge of rain around dinnertime. We have a clear bird feeder on the outside of the kitchen window, and while the rain poured I noticed a very young and tired bird was taking refuge in the feeder. I snapped a photo. The photo is adorable, but you can see […]

friday august 23

Happy Friday, which is also Find Your Inner Nerd Day, National Sponge Cake Day, and a day off for me! Wednesday was the 11th of 12 PT sessions for my shoulder and my measured range of motion is worse than it was when I started. Hooray? Go me? Let’s go? I’m back at the shoulder […]

Tophouse – The Mountain Song

August 19, 2024 by Kimberly

a screenshot of the tophouse mountain song video

For your listening pleasure: Found where I find most of my new music these days: Tiktok. “Then came the sunshineThe clouds rolled back and color filled the earthAnd the rain had brought the flowersYou could sit and stare for hoursAnd the toil and the struggle showed its worth”

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! :)

A plucky heroine and academically minded hero? A road trip to Key West? Optimism v pessimism?? Adults being adults and using their words to keep disagreements from lasting more than a few hours? Sign me up forever.
