I’m a mess

I’m sick. I have the full blown cold thing going on.  Painful eyes.  Stuffy nose.  Sore throat.  General feeling of “GO to hell, all of you, now.”
But it’s Halloween.
I promised my kids that we’d watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown this morning — and then couldn’t find it.
I attempted to dye Duck’s hair with [...]

In the cards

Check it out - gobsmacked, as usual.  DDFF, give it try and see what card you are!

You are The Wheel of Fortune
Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you [...]

I’m alive

Thanks for asking.  Just so busy I can barely breathe, much less post.
Hopefully things will slow down next week.
