Goofing off

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/08/28

Hey all, hope you are well. Pupper and I are doing well. There’s not much to write about anymore. We have had a peaceful summer. I’ve been getting healthier, and can walk with cane support almost exclusively and am independent of the wheelchair. I’ve been stitching, and watching the trees. Listening to the birds sing… Continue reading Goofing off →

The wall

2025/07/07

Freedom from fireworks will hopefully happen soon. Pupper and I are enjoying the back yard. For the first morning ever, the football field isn’t tormenting a dog of mine. Yesterday, a short privacy fence was donated and installed. On the other side of that fence is the high school football field. The field, with mowing… Continue reading The wall →

What’s missing

It doesn’t matter how long it has been, or how bad it was. There were good times too. He rarely allowed a picture to be taken. But I found these. I still cry, I still silently scream. I still feel like my soul has been ripped out of my body. -L

One step at a time

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/04/26

We went for a tiny walk today. Pupper and I walked the sidewalk in front of the house. We then had to rest at the patio table for a few. It was okay. Each slow patient step helps. I’m waiting now, for the OTC meds to kick in. It will be okay. -L

I don’t have to apologize for being born anymore.

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/04/23

I used to have to apologize for waking up breathing. For living, for not attempting to end it all. I used to have to say, “Being married to Satan would be better than this.” There were many days, where I said nothing at all to anyone. I was forbidden to talk on the phone. I… Continue reading I don’t have to apologize for being born anymore. →

Plans changed

I was going to try to make it back home today with Pupper for the holiday. Woke up in screaming pain again. So, I need to just relax with some tea, and stay home. I will try to go home another time. Pupper has been helping me so much in the short time he has… Continue reading Plans changed →

Life isn’t just

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/04/17

We had a big day today, Pupper and I. We went to tractor supply and got some toys and treats. I also bought spray paint. I was asked in the course of the day if I planned to use dynamite in the digging I had planned in the back yard. That gave me pause. I… Continue reading Life isn’t just →

I’m just not in the mood

Good morning all. I hope all is well in your universe. His Royal Highness pupper the Great is currently taking a nap. We’ve been doing the get to know you phase of dog human ownership love interaction thing. So far, it’s going pretty good. I’m learning his boundaries, and he is learning mine.

Why I don’t…

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/04/02

On the app that I use to write this blog, there are writing prompts. I ignore them significantly. I’ve always loathed those things, and they are about as useful as mammary glands on a male. To me, they are more like homework assignments. Ugh. Homework, mind numbingly useless homework that makes it harder to do… Continue reading Why I don’t… →

A little reprieve

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/04/01

Hey there, hope you are well. Today is a good day so far. My neck needs popping, and for some reason my left side has a stitch in the giddyup today. I might have slept wrong, twice. Yesterday was all appointments and a little emotional support retail therapy. There are few places I willingly go… Continue reading A little reprieve →

6 months

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/03/29

Hey there, settled in at the laptop because I have the space emotionally to use it for now. 6 months ago, he died. Wow. I’ve been hiding, from the blog, from my friends, and licking my wounds. Duke dying too was just another nail, you know. It’s not been easy. Thing is, this does parallel… Continue reading 6 months →

Still feel wooden

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/03/28

Spent the afternoon setting up my journal table. With the lovely stickers and colored paper Marissa gave me, I have enjoyed the day. It still isn’t ready to take pictures of, but that is okay. I have been writing in a diary since 6th grade or so. Sadly, I don’t have most of my diaries… Continue reading Still feel wooden →

Pain day redux

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/03/25

Today I am using those distraction skills on overload. The plan was to stitch out front awhile today. Instead I woke at 1am, and didn’t get back to bed till 7. A 4 hour nap helped a little. I haven’t screamed on waking in awhile. Duke’s ashes, I put them inside his favorite stuffed bear.… Continue reading Pain day redux →

Exploring my inner vegetarian

Anonymous Knitter ·

2025/01/22

Good Morning, I hope you have a good day. Last night, I didn’t take pain medication before bed. It’s been interesting. I found out that I can cross my legs if I am laying on my back. That reduces the lower back pain. I’ve been partying with the budget. Looking at the cost of food… Continue reading Exploring my inner vegetarian →
