Well okay, the site is back. Hmm. Continue reading

Just checking in. Nothing much to report. And so it goes. Continue reading

I started a new story on my child blog on here. I think I can sort of see where it's going. However, in light of something I read on Twitter about some dude who had an entire comic ripped off by these guys who made a short film of it and won an award, I don't think I'll be putting very much of it up here. Continue reading

It's been so long since I've talked to anyone so please forgive me if I babble, change the subject in mid-sentence, lose my train of thought, stop talking abruptly and just sit staring at you with an expression of horror, seem to forget you are even here... You want to... Continue reading

Well, here I am again. It snowed yesterday, all day... so there are several inches on the ground. It's cloudy today, so I don't see much melting. I went out yesterday and stumbled feebly about, but I'm not sure I want to go out today. Mostly I'm afraid of falling down, though the exercise would do me good, maybe. But I don't consider slipping on the ice and falling on my ass "exercise". I feel mostly like staying in. Also I need to have a decent meal, all I've had is coffee and a couple of waffles. Anyway, I'm trying... Continue reading

Should I go back to this site? It's sort of old-fashioned and therefore easier to use. Continue reading

Went for a walk downtown. The snow is finally melting in earnest, though I don't think it will all be gone by nighttime. It's supposed to be a tiny bit warmer and sunny at least part of the time tomorrow, so maybe it will be all gone from my steps at least. I'm definitely really out of shape. I'm going to try to walk a little every day -- at least the days I'm home, work is a challenge. But at least I'm at home more. With the new ownership I wonder if my hours will change back to a...

Cold and windy today... but it's supposed to be sunny and go up into the high forties. Will this get me outside and walking? It really should, since the rest of the week until Sunday will be dedicated to working all the daylight hours. Continue reading

There will probably be ten million blog entries and articles with that title at the end of the year, so I'm getting in early. First: well! we're in the middle of a pandemic! Just like great-grandma or in my case grandma experienced. Fortunately the great United States is leading the way to, uh... having the most covid cases and deaths! We're number one! USA! USA! USA! And guess what -- I caught it! But I survived. So far I seem to be okay, no major after effects. Still, everything is at a standstill and no one can go anywhere because... Continue reading

My yearly update! New: my own apartment, in the same building where I was living with the friend. Cats are bigger, better. Health: blood pressure high (being medicated). On calcium and D3 because Virginia is a sunless hell. As for this site, I don't know. MT is $500 to license, which basically means no new blogs using it. My old self-installs are old enough to go to college, which means they are basically dead and buried. All I have is this account. Who knows what I'll do with it though. Continue reading

I'd like to know why I've been having chest flutters and associated coughing for the past few days. I haven't been any more anxious than normal. Continue reading

Well! That was a long sleep, look at how much dust is on my coffin! Phaugh! Anyway, I'm amazed I still have... followers? They must still be in enchanted sleep. I must have overdrugged the wine. Sorry, I'll take care with the potions next time. Continue reading

Amazing, this still exists. Anyway, an update from last time: The cat died. Last year I acquired a new cat, and then a few months later, another. Last year I also had an operation to remove the source of my health problems and have been happily female-reproductive-parts free. I finally bought a new(ish) car a month ago. It's from the same year as my last post on this site. I changed jobs three years ago, am full time. I still live in the same place in Virginia that I moved to in 2009 (well, a different apartment, same house). That's... Continue reading

OK just checking that my old email works. (Changed from live.com to outlook.com.) Continue reading

October has become the sickly month for not just my cat, but me. The short version is I had to go to the hospital because I nearly fainted at work, and I've got anemia from heavy menstrual bleeding (and it's clear I've had this problem for awhile, it just ramped up this month), and uterine fibroids. I'm on heavy iron supplements and birth control to control the bleeding, and waiting to find out whether I've got something worse than just fibroids, and what to do about my problem. So just about everything is on hold, though I'm going back to... Continue reading

Come in, come in! Your last meal The feast is spread on the table, the wine is drugged poured! Your bed will be kept ready with a well-oiled bear trap a warmer under the covers, and a fire will be keeping the torture implements red-hot ready to warm your tired... Continue reading

Yo! 'Sup. Haven't been here for a while. Been working. Bought an electric typewriter. Job that was part time is now full time. Cat's sick, took her to the vet today, waiting for test results, has another appointment for tests next week. Wow I can type more than 100 characters here, what's that all about. Continue reading

Or, I realize as Twitter escaped into the hinterlands that the leg I had been holding onto was a fake! Posted via email from Come on, Pond! Continue reading

I didn't do it I swear. ^oo^ Posted via email from Come on, Pond! Continue reading

I don't post enough here. Perhaps that will change someday. Posted via email from Come on, Pond! Continue reading

I don't post for a few months and they change everything around. No me gusta. Also, the site seems slow, but my new(ish) computer should be able to handle stuff. Whine whine complain complain for a blog I don't even update. Well Doctor Who seems to have gone into hibernation, so I haven't had anything to say. Perhaps I should watch some classic Who and review it here. I dunno. Crossposted at my Typepad blog "A Case of the Mondays," which I also have neglected dreadfully.

It's been a while. Continue reading

I have been ignoring this website of mine. I might switch back over here from the Tumblr thing for my Who stuff; I'm not happy with Tumblr's recent changes. Or, I may not. We shall see. Posted via email from Come on, Pond! Continue reading
