Running down the street to get away from the angry woman and her nipping dog, the boy raced home and swung into the door quickly, closing the door behind him with a slam. He thought about going to his room and lying down to try and clear the fog in his mind, reeling as he was from the strange ordeals he had been enduring thus far in his day. Looking at the cuckoo clock in Continue reading

Pumpernickel #3
Rushing into the principal’s office to get away from the upset secretary, the boy quickly shut the door behind him. The principal was on the phone, obviously waiting for the person on the line to respond since he was just holding the receiver up to his ear when the boy entered. Not wanting to interrupt, the boy moved to sit quietly in one of the large chairs in front of the principal’s large Continue reading
Pumpernickel #2
The boy, upon leaving the classroom and closing the door behind him, began the long walk to the principal’s office. He had no idea what had upset the teacher so much. After all, he had done his homework: she had said to go home and learn a new word, and he did, and now he was being sent to see the principal for it. His head hanging, he almost didn’t see the janitor with his broom Continue reading
Pumpernickel
OK, so there was this boy. He was like nine or ten years old, somewhere around there, so he was probably in third or fourth grade. One day in class, his teacher assigned some homework to the class about vocabulary. The assignment was to go home and look up a new word in the dictionary, learn it, and then return the next day and tell the word to the class. So the boy went Continue reading
Fun drive
So it snowed a little this morning. It probably didn’t get much over a quarter of an inch, but it was still coming down when I left for work around seven. It was pretty slippery stuff, too. The Mom-mobile actually slid a couple times while I was in town just stopping at stop signs and lights. I figured I’d take this as a sign to drive a little slower than usual…or a lot slower. I decided to really Continue reading
Been reading
Since winter break, I’ve been slowly working to catch up on my comics. I love reading comics, and the last time I read through most of them was back in either September or October. I’m down to reading one more, which should take about a half an hour since I haven’t read it since October, but at that point I’ll be caught up. I’m thinking I might just make Saturdays my day Continue reading
Poor Kitty
Haven’t posted in a bit…most of you are probably getting used to the lack of updates, though. Regardless, I wanted to update everyone as to how Kitty’s doing. First off, we got her a flea/tick collar, figuring maybe that would help. We also got some organic flea control oil that is put on the back of the cat’s head so the cat can’t lick it off. The oil is made of a lot of different types of Continue reading
FLEAS!!
Kitty’s been acting hinky…well, hinkier than usual. I mean, she’s always had issues, being something of a psychotic little furball who’s sometimes sweet and cuddly. At any rate, she’s been really sensitive and moody lately, and even more than that, her back is really sensitive and bothering her. At first, I just thought she was having problems with really dry skin again like every Continue reading
Cleaning!
Well, I’m going to be putzing around the house today doing a lot of odd jobs that I haven’t had time to get to before thanks to recent illness, etc. I’ve started work on getting the trash cans in peripheral rooms cleaned up (we don’t use the wastebaskets in the bedroom or living room or den much, so they don’t fill up fast but together make for a full bag), and I’m going to start Continue reading
Deep thoughts
Do you ever have very profound and insightful thoughts? Do you ever have them in those seven to nine minutes between snooze alarms? That seems to be when I have a lot of really great ideas or really ingenious realizations or intuitive discoveries, but just as soon as the snooze alarm goes off, they’re gone. I have all sorts of brainstorms when I go to bed too. My brain just won’t shut Continue reading
