It’s been awhile since I’ve checked in, so I’m stopping by today to say hi.
It’s been a singular solitary life lately; my friends are all immersed in their own lives and family issues and changing circumstances. You know how it is. Sometimes people forget you’re there.
Still have the same chronic health issues and mobility limitations. Still wearing the leg braces and using the canes, sometimes a wheelchair walker instead. Since I am single and live alone, I am the only person around to take care of myself.
Anyway, today I decided to get out and enjoy some scenery at one of the lakes not too far away. I brought some raspberries and watermelon and tea. I listened to the radio while watching the last of the sunlight on the lake.
It was calm and soothing, and I think I’ll do it again sometime.

I’m glad to hear you haven’t swallowed a lead aspirin.
Not yet, anyway.
They’re hard to find!
I may have to resort to just licking paint like everyone else.
Buying “aspirin” is easy. It’s getting your trigger finger on the delivery m*thod that’s tricky.
(I think m*thod is a word that sends comments into mod*ration).
Next time the police stop me, I’ll be sure to tell them I have a permit to carry concealed aspirin.
Or som*thing like that.
Haha.
That was funny.
I think if the suicide thing doesn’t work out for you you should consider a career in comedy.
“Depressed Comedian”. No one’s done that before, right?
I bet no one’s done it wearing leg braces in a wheelchair!
I can make the audience uncomfortable on all sorts of levels.
But it will be worth it anyway, because the BBQ wings and stuffed pretzels will be *awesome*.
Oh wow. That is a lovely, lovely place. And it’s so good to hear from you again, Cordless. We were wondering about you. And I’m not just saying that.
It is a lovely place.
I hadn’t been there in at least a year, and it was nice to go back.
It’s a good place just to sit and think about things. And other things.
P.S. thank you for wondering.
🙂
It sure looks like a good place to sit and think. It also just sorta looks like a place that isn’t hot and humid. Where I live, we’ve got parks too. But they’re all swampland and if you go there any other time but the dead of winter, you’re basically asking for Malaria. Lol.
And of course. 🙂 Whether your real life friends know that you’re there or not, you matter to a lot of us here.
We had our hot-humid time a few weeks ago.
Thankfully that’s over with.
At least I hope so.
I went there hoping for a private little sanctuary, but it turned out a bunch of other people had the same idea. I had to stake out my own little section and kinda tune everyone else out. Thankfully they were all interested in doing other stuff, like going to the nearby playground, walking the woods trail, or loading their boat onto a trailer.
So it was still kinda nice.
I’ve been sick with cold/flu stuff for the past week or so, and although I’m not 100% better, I’m at least well enough to get out there and do something besides blow my nose and hack up a lung.
Sometimes people forget, and on some occasions when they don’t, you find yourself wishing they would. Ah well. Can’t always get whacha want, eh?
On that bright note, welcome back. Been awhile since I’ve been here as well, before the past few days that is.
Interesting how those moments can seem so profound (especially with a bit of music in the mix), however briefly before you’re brought back to the reality of the immediate needs and requirements of your life. Walking out to my car a few early mornings ago, I looked up to see a full (or seemingly full) moon partially hidden behind some clouds. Struck by the scene, I took out my smartphone as any self-respecting modern twenty-first century jackass would and took a picture. I stood there for a few moments, admiring the natural beauty of the sky, feeling the warm breeze blow as I stared, experiencing that oh-so-evasive “one with the universe” feeling that can happen in that type of situation. Then I looked back at my phone and saw the time. Better get going or I’ll be late for work. My boss might be pissed at me, or I might even lose my terrible job!
Those issues seem minuscule, of course, upon reflection and some thought about the scale of the universe itself. Almost absurd. And yet, I got into that car regardless. And I’ll do the same tomorrow.
I know what you mean about needing to take pictures of stuff.
I’m trying to do that more often, so I have something to bring back good memories (or at least non-bad memories) to distract me when the unpleasant times happen later on.
Gorgeous place! I live near beautiful sceneries as well. Great that it brings peace to you. I try to take time to look around too.
It does sorta bring a nice temporary peace.
I like places with water.
It’s calming and quiet, usually.
Cool pics, guess i picked the same day to check in, hah. That does look like a really peaceful place, the only similar places i have like around here are peaceful only at night but i still go from time to time, sort of calms me down a bit (which i really need on a daily basis). Glad to see you’re still hanging on regardless of circumstances.
Mf~!!
It’s good to see you. I remember when I sorta took a break about a month or two ago, you hadn’t been here for a long time, and I was worried. I’m glad to see you’re ok.
Just wanted to say hi, Cordless.
Hi to you too! 🙂
NICE PIC’S AS LOVELY AS YOU! 🙂
For all you know, I am an alien from Pluto who is murderously disgruntled about the whole “no-longer-a-planet” thing.
But thank you.
🙂
welp happy to see that you’re still okay Cordless -_- I feel bad for seeing this a day late, as I doubt that you will ever see that I am happy that you’re okay 🙁
Just logged on. Always love your posts among other things. Always good to hear from you Hun.
Love,
Trey
