Bedtime

23 Sunday Dec 2018

I spent the day at home, apart from my trip to the YMCA for a swim. I didn’t do much and I slept a long time in the morning. I spent the afternoon waiting for my daughter-in-law to come by with some pasta and sauce my son prepared. It took her a while and I suppose I should’ve gone to the Y earlier. But, ya’ know, a little bad time management from time to time is a good thing. So she gets here, and we just chat at the door for about 10 minutes. I enjoyed that time spent with her.

After the Y and the pasta dinner, I spent way too much time watching medical videos on YouTube. Then again, I have yet to tire of learning, after 67 years, 11 months and 2 days of breathing air on God’s Earth here.

But it is bedtime. Tomorrow I go to Mass to thank the Good Lord for this gift called being alive, as well as the gift of His Son’s Incarnation, this coming Tuesday.

Gratitude. Get you some!

Beast With Two Backs

NSFW Grown-up Stuff

He felt the feeling again, almost as soon as she left. The hunger, the thirst, no, just plain lust for her body and her passion and joy and warmth, opened for him. He loved the way her lips felt when they kissed. It must be the lipstick. Her fingers clawed at his back. He was certain there were marks. Some explaining would be needed at the pool, or maybe his friends would just smile to themselves knowingly.

But the feeling in his cock was his and his alone to savor. What were those muscles called pubogynococcyl or something like that? He had read about them in the magazine he leafed through at the doctor’s office. She must do her Kegels. Well God bless her for that. And that fine ass of hers he grabbed and pulled to him, his shaft nestled so snugly in her quim.

“Beast with two backs.” Right on Billy Shakespeare.

#Gratitude

A lot of the negativity that characterized recent posts has dissipated. I simply have been doing the next right thing. I keep my focus, laser intense, on what is positive, healthy, and on things which I can change.

The decrepit car is holding up.

I have been having a wonderful time cooking low-fat, low carb, low gluten dishes. I swim almost every day.

I am grateful for the love of real world family and friends, plus those I know through the digital world. Thank you especially Jade and Olivia.

Changes

Once again, I am discouraged. My world is about to change as I contemplate the challenge of living without an automobile. The one I have driven for the last seven years has a serious problem. I don’t know if we can afford a second car under our present circumstances. Lots of walking in my future. Restructuring my world, in order to live within walking distance of my necessary institutions, grocery shopping recreation, socializing, seems to be next. That may mean I post more often. It may mean I post hardly at all. Bear with me, as I sort things out.

Desperate & Hopeless.

Just feel like there is no good news out there. If people want a coup d’etat to oust Trump, so be it. Then let the killing begin. Let’s see who wins.

Dinner Tonight: Roast & Resentment

I pulled out all the stops, fixing The Mother Of All Snowy Days Dinners. Objectives: 1) Hearty Meal, 2) Shameless Use of Butter, 3) Food you don’t have everyday.

The Meal: roast pork loin, butternut squash, broccoli w homemade cheese sauce, and spoonbread.

Can you say “Southern”?

Too bad my wife can’t seem to find enough energy to eat at the table with me.

What am I? The hired help? Oh well.

But she loves me, she says. And she is tired. She appreciates that I understand. Yes I do understand. I also hurt.

Gloom, Sleepless Gloom

loneliness, sleep

I have been up awhile. I put a DVD of Popeye cartoons from the 1930’s in the DVD player and watched for awhile. Truth is, I like to listen to the music. It’s a quirky 30’s swing music, perfectly synchronized to the action. The cartoons lift my spirits. I’m feeling the gut punch that is loneliness. I’m not making much of an effort to join my wife in Hallmark Channel Christmas movies, reruns of The Waltons or The Andy Griffith Show, after Don Knotts left. Somehow Aunt Bea and Goober just couldn’t carry the show. She works, comes home, then is off in her world..

Words she once pronounced 10 years ago still sting, “I guess I’m not very lovey-dovey.” Heartaches have sources and origins, leave scars, abd readily refresh themselves.

#98, The Northbound Silver Meteor, went through Ashland, 30 minutes late.

We are expecting snow today. I may sequester myself with lots of coffee, books, naps, movies and ride this storm out. I could always vacuum and bundle up newspapers, clean the kitchen and bathrooms, but it is Sunday after all.

Next thing to do is fix my wife tuna salad and some sliced strawberries for her lunch.

I just don’t care about Christmas any more.

Off to prepare the tuna.
