Some of you may have wondered what makes my life so cursed that I’d call this site “Perfectly Cursed Life.”   I didn’t grow up in the slums.  I don’t have an abusive past.  Why is my life cursed? Ah, to live an uncursed life. I’ve eluded to my many medical maladies on here before, the [...]

I’m expecting my face to be on some “Wanted” poster in the pharmacy soon.  My old pharmacy was busy enough not to care about my ever-changing array of prescriptions, but apparently this one lacks the volume to mind their own business.  This is evident by the fact that I’m now being treated like a drug [...]

I just looked out the window to see that it’s raining.  My heart skipped a beat from seeing precipitation that was not frozen, near frozen or about to freeze.  In fact, it’s a balmy 37 degrees outside right now.  Earlier when I left the office for a spell, I had to take off my scarf [...]

Today is the 28th birthday of one of my most loyal readers and * real life * close friends, Mr. RMB.  Any of you who like this blog should wish Mr. RMB a happy birthday, because back when he was one of my only readers, it was his persistent reading that kept me going notwithstanding [...]

This weekend found me in a foul and irritable mood more often than I anticipated.  It could have been the few extra inches of snow that Mother Nature gifted to us in Michigan on Saturday that tipped my mood, though usually I don’t mind snow.  Honestly, I was already irritable Friday night.  Nevertheless, when I [...]

I’ve been completely occupied with work lately.  It bothers me in some respects because it’s more than busy–it’s life consuming.  And more than that, it’s interfered with my writing.  I’m about 2/3 of the way done with my novel and I’ve hit a roadblock not because I don’t know what to write, but because looking [...]

I must admit that I’m totally winging it when it comes to blogging. I’m learning what I need as I go, and screwing things up along the way to learn my lessons. One of the things that appears to be an issue on this blog is the RSS feed.  People have trouble getting the RSS [...]

The fact that The Mister’s grandpa’s funeral landed on Valentine’s Day this year made it extraordinarily hard to do something that would really stand out from years past.  Short of getting him a spot on the Detroit Tigers’ roster or a private concert with Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam and The Beatles, I was not [...]

Blogging is a weird activity.  It’s staggering how involved you become with your blog and your blog friends and your blog lifestyle.  I genuinely get excited every time I get a comment in my inbox.  I have an ongoing google search that tells me when someone has linked here (WordPress does this too) and love [...]
