Strolling down memory lane … the good and the bad

If you asked me what the trigger was for walking down memory lane today, I don’t think I could tell you. I started with when I first started playing WoW, scrolling through old screenshots of me in-game in those early days. Those triggered some bad memories, because the people with whom I played with at first are no longer a part of my life. It wasn’t so much the fact they were now persona non grata, but more the how ..read more

Allergy agonies, steroid shots, tornados and mad kittehs

I keep forgetting that they cut the grass every single Monday now. It’s one of the dubious perks of having a deployed spouse and living on-post. I don’t have to worry about managing the yard, because the housing people take care of it automatically. Why dubious? Well, because being that my allergies have been in overdrive, having pollen and grass flying every single Monday morning is not boding well for me.

Yesterday was particularly bad … as was today. It ..read more

Strange rituals, new pets, lost days and television series … an odd collection.

Today, I got my first care package sent off to hubby. It was quite the ritual. I packed the package carefully, and even though I tried REAL hard, it was still bulging on all sides. I guess he’ll just be happy with his first package, is all. Or maybe not. I won’t go into what’s in there right now since I want some of it to be a surprise … and I don’t really know if he reads my blog ..read more

Drama and a much-needed weekend reprieve

Lawd whoee – what a stress!

I apologize to those who might have been working up the courage to comment (again?) and found that comments are now closed here – the reason is a sudden upsurge in the bitch content of my life which I am trying valiantly to quell and exterminate. So far, it seems to be ..read more

silence is not golden… not all the time

Sometimes, silence is indeed golden.  When it comes to the fyr and this blog, golden is not even remotely apt. In this case, the fyr being silent is a very bad thing.

Or so some of you may think.

The fact is, the fyr has been silent for a number of different reasons. The main one being her new job that she landed that keeps her surfing the web all day long, being paid for much of the surfing that she does. ..read more

My Army family and learning how it works

I have a couple of friends who I know might be offended that I had this major drama situation today, where I needed someone to talk to BADLY but I didn’t call them. Instead, I called on my army family.

I was incoherent in my distress, blabbing about the chain of command and orders and family members and mandatory training… yet I was rational enough to think that unless I called someone who could understand my blathering, I would just work ..read more
