October

Wow! Before ya know it October just sneaks up on ya, huh. It's a bit crisper in the air in the morning. Coffee tastes much better with pumpkin spice in it. I just add a pinch to my cup and it gives me that "October Flavor". The kind of flavor that comes with autumn.

pumpkins

pecan or apple pie

hot spiced tea on a cool evening

I could make one hell of a list and go on forever, but I won't take up your time here. If you are not being flooded out like everyone on the east coast then take some time to enjoy October 1st.

Wet Cat Wednesday

NBA

The regular NBA season will be starting on October 27th. That can't come too soon for me. Watching pro football and basketball is when I am the happiest. But to get into the season a bit sooner here are some highlights of previous games of seasons long gone.

This morning I finally got about two hours sleep. My bout with weather related arthritis pain is slamming me against the wall again. Apparently we are supposed to get rain either today or tomorrow. Just fucking great. So I'm cutting this short. Y'all have a great weekend.

I'm Going to Catholic Hell . . . Again

Shit! How one little guy in a white dress and skull cap disrupt the internet is beyond me. I could not get on to do anything this morning. All the sheeple were skyping and tweeting to their hearts content. Yes, I was watching the live feed of the pope's speech, only for the first ten minutes. You see, Lord Vader Boehner made me laugh. He was blubbering like a cry baby. Blowing his nose. Then sticking that nasty handkerchief back in his coat pocket. EEEEEW! 

The pope could calm down the most rambunctious bunch of kids, just look what it did to Congress this morning. The pope put half the world, not to mention all those on Capital Hill to sleep this morning. That little man can really bore the living crap out of a person when he speaks. The only highlight that got me going was that it looked like Justice Ginsburg was flashing some knee at the pope during his speech. She quickly covered it up when the TV cam picked up on it. You Go Girl! Turn that man of the cloth on! Yeah!

Wet Dog Wednesday

Atheist Hymnal

While I Was Out

I've been hanging with the "Black Dog" as depression is called. Don't ask me why because I have no idea. It just happened. I got depressed. I folded inward, withdrew from everything and everyone and it only lasted a week. No big deal. I dealt with it and it didn't win in the long run. So that means I'm back, yay.

I think I really need a Pintervention, but maybe it's best I don't. The whole time I spent in the dumps, I was on Pinterest. Either I was making new boards or pinning. It was crazy. Like I was on crack. I couldn't get out of there. One good thing about it was that it's better than retail therapy. It helped me kick the black dog aside, and it didn't cost me a thing. Lucy was the only creature who was around me most of the time, besides David. She is such a nurturing little soul. She had such a worried look on her face. I wonder if she understood what I was going through.

While I was "out", the mama spider in our courtyard kicked the bucket. Yeah, she died. The one next to David's tool shed is still going strong. David keeps checking on her every morning to see if she's alive. Also, he bought an animal trap to catch the cats in the neighborhood in order to get them fixed and get them their shots. We found a vet that will do it for free because he knows we can't pay for all of them but we want to curb the cat population problem.

Well, I have a house to clean and laundry to wash so I'll be back tomorrow. Don't worry, the black dog is gone.
