eating my feelings


Melissa's yellow and green summer squash sauteed in butter with the very first Roma tomato and onions,  hash brown and (a splurge!) scrambled eggs ... think it will lift my moaning myrtle mood?

Sven Thorson

 my Viking, Sven, lost the will to go on in the middle of a seam...

i unscrewed his bottom plate and realized that his innards are beyond my skills - so i put him back together and packed him up for the repair shop ... our sewing machine repair guy lost the will to repair machines, and now there will be a search for his replacement ... difficult ... and there are no dollars to pay anyone, either...

 there would be a huge sigh here, but sighs aren't cutting it this morning...

wah wah wah


Toilets are the perfect place for a good cry. The echo really makes it feel dramatic.
