Moanday, Moanday!
deep thoughtsfriends

Moanday, Moanday!


Perhaps it isn’t at all ironic that Sara’s meme tag came after nearly 24 hours straight of moaning and complaining as I had to prepare our home for termite fumigation (I only slept a few hours last night and just grabbed the last few belongings as they were posting the DO NOT ENTER signs on our door….). So I am now sitting cross-leg on the questionably clean carpet in a temporary apartment and watching “The Belle of Amherst” on DVD as I try to calm the kitties down a bit. They have never lived anywhere besides our place and (poor things) Toby won’t even come out from under one of the beds for tuna. Ellycat has glued herself to my side as if to let me know that she knows no vet will come after her in the place of strange smells & sounds as long as I am nearby. Once the kitties calm down a bit they will be delighted to learn that there is a nest on the eaves of the backporch here with the sweetest little orange-throated finch-looking birdies chirping up a storm.

The Moaning Meme
5 people who will be annoyed you tagged them.

-John & Miko
-CatBonny
-Brooke
-TanyaSue
-Caroline
But to everyone else, consider yourself tagged and please play along!

4 things that should go into room 101 and be removed from the face of the earth.

-Packing for moving.
We had to to a mini-packing this week (all food, toiletries, and catstuff and anything we needed to survive in a bare-bones apartment) to prepare for the tenting & termite fumigation. Pain.

-War.
Really. And any activity done with the intent to harm another person or creature.

-Rodents.
‘Nuff said.

-Body Odor
There are good body smells and bad body smells. I’m talking about the bad ones.

-Cancer.
Yah, duh. And while we’re at it we can just eliminate disease in general. (Note: I know this is #5 on my list of 4 things, but I’m not much of a rule-follower…)

3 things people do that make you want to shake them violently. (Ok, really I can’t think of wanting to shake anyone badly, so I’m playing along in the spirit of the meme if not literally)

-parents or teachers talking smack to little kids
-praise for our current presidential regime
-folks who voluntarily join the military (and the corrupt gov’t who sends them on fighting missions)

2 things you find yourself moaning about.

-dictatorial community garden members
-health insurance woes

1 thing the above answers tell you about yourself.

-I’m quite sure that my opinions are correct and that everyone else should acknowledge my wisdom.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
