I’ve Googled myself before, but not since Google added an AI search engine feature. I admit I'm pretty salty about AI. I never use that AI search result when Googling anything, preferring the actual results rather than the AI summary that shows up. But. Ummm…maybe I should re-think that. Because when the AI summarized me, it got me pretty well. I mean I don’t know what I’d add here. I searched “SuperLowBudge.” That’s my handle everywhere fro…
There has been some talk in recent weeks about blogging--whether it's still relevant, who is doing it, and what is the best platform. Well! It just so happens that I think it IS still relevant (obviously), and I have tried out a bunch of blogging platforms myself over the years. Some others I haven't tried personally, but I follow blogs on them, and have formed an opinion on their look and feel. Here's some personal observations... Di…
I had an anxiety dream last night. I haven't had one in over two years. I wonder. I wonder if there have been any studies that correlate a lapse in anxiety/dark thoughts/nightmares with a brain bleed. Because I can't help but notice that my brain, in terms of anxiety/depression, is better, notably in the two years since I've had the stroke. I wouldn't recommend it, as far as improving the symptoms of mental illness. Now I have a …
Joe is irresistibly adorable in the morning, hugging the Bear and telling me he loves me. I mean, can you even? 💓
Today, I have been writing and listening to my favorite records. A lot
of my favorite records, few have heard. But everyone should hear
Jellyfish, Spilt Milk. So gorgeous! You know, there was a time, like thirty years ago , when I used to review local music. You had to describe music with words, crafted in such a way so as to have the reader able to "hear" it, to decide whether or not to support those musicians by buying the record. T…
Fifteen years we've lived here. And loved it here. But alas, now, sometime in the next year, we have to go. Nothing bad, it's just that H&T are getting ready to sell the hose. Joe has already started to make plans for a big purge. We have dead electronics taking up space, and we both have collected way too many clothes. Things like that. We have time, we can sort thru and call some charities and junk removal services.
But where to? I…
I'm off Facebook for awhile, but the last thing I did was look up some of the old posts from August 2023. That's when I had my stroke, and Joe had a heart transplant. This post from August 6th 2023 posted by my brother-in-law is quite chilling. "This
situation just became much more complex. As some of you know, our
sister-in-law Michelle suffered a stroke last week. She is currently in
the ICU and working on the long road to recov…
MIL: Says a Democrat Me: What do you mean? Me: Nothing? Nothing to add? “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” —Mark Twain Me: Every day it’s more dangerous. You have to stop watching Fox News and get on the right side of history. MIL: maybe CNN, MSNBC, etc are the ones spreading false news. They never show both sides, only theirs. Me: Well, what’s the “other side”? Me: For
the record, we haven't watc…
I can’t sleep again. It’s 3am. I often wake up at 3am. Resisting the urge to get up and watch a movie. I need to just turn over, grab the Bear, and turn off my brain. I’ll try that. Here’s an old post. I still wear that hat. I miss Panera. Not for food, just for coffee and writing. Everything I like goes away .
You guys, Jane Goodall died. "It doesn't take much to be considered a difficult woman. That's why there are so many of us."
