Wiederkehr

there is no there there

here we go again

wishing you good things only

Merry Christmas

Christmas miracles do happen - last night I dreamed of the one and only dog of my life, Gypsy (dachshund mixed with who knows what). I got her from the shelter, Christmas '96, and she stayed for 12 years. I cannot adequately communicate how much I miss this dog.

a melancholic's disneyland

phew!

(irony) I put up my happy merry seasonal deco. I'm exhausted. (/irony)

heck yes, you should!

my sunsets are reflected

I will kill all indoor plants eventually (weirdly, everything I ever planted in the two gardens I owned, flourished), except Christmas cacti (cactuses?). Go figure.

a fine line

my day without color

from extreme heat to autumn weather in a couple of days

sunday morning in the hood...

I had to get out of my apartment before it got too hot again (*ha!*, 30C/86F at 8:45 a.m.), and took the new baby cam for a test drive.

I wore these for 4 years, 3 years (since the stroke) exclusively, because the AFO/Orthese fitted in it. I wore them year round, but now they're dead. I buried them first thing in the morning. €19,90, that's not bad for 4 years, right?

 

OMG! It's the u-woman!

Got another pair of the 4 year sneakers!

I broke down and dyed my hair. I *really* wanted to be like all those cool white/gray haired women and got the old color half grown out, but, due to the stroke I feel at least 20 years older than I am already - and that's on a good day - I don't need to see someone even older when I look in the mirror. So I just did it, put poison on the head yet again. I changed one thing though. I used to dye my hair red, sometimes natural, sometimes wild red. But since that hasn't been bringing me any luck for 10 years, I switched to chocolate brown. :) (It's still a tiny bit red in the sun.)

 

Cooling down with air condition, aahhhhhhhhh.......

i'm outta ideas

nectarine with cooling trauma creme?
grapes with stevia ketchup (sprinkled with linseed/flax)?
brown banana (yuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!) with mustard?
