This came to me the other night, and I had to write it down. I had originally thought of it as "The Gun Fetishists' Psalm," and then "The Ammosexuals' Psalm." And then a friend suggested re-naming it as shown above: The AR23 Fully Automatic Psalm.

Not sure if it is really a "diary" but hope it's acceptable to share.

It's been a tough 36 hours. I spent most of last night resting fitfully next to the bony frame of my rapidly failing 23-year-old kitty, Rio (big grey fluffy lump, the Best.Cat.Ever.)

She started fading fast yesterday afternoon, while Youngest Daughter was here. After she left (having said many love-yous, and cuddled for a long goodbye), Hubby and I settled Rio on the bed in The Woman Cave, and watched and waited, and tended to what needs we could discern.

There's more below the Orange Curly-Kos, if you'd care to join me...

Hello Kossacks!
Been away. Far, far away. And now that I'm back, I need to address the recurring issue of the scourge of Minnesota that is Guano Girl: Batshit Insane Michele Bachmann.
And I have a question. Please follow me below the orange thingy (not to be confused with Terrorist Agent Orange Boner™) for more.

Hello, Kossacks...
This will be a relatively short one, 'cos I don't want to get on a downer at the beginning of a long weekend, but I really wanted to ask your help in spreading the word for the upcoming holiday...or any other time, really!

Woke up yesterday morning with a headache from hell. Tried to get it under control, as we had a United Way workday planned for our team at the college, helping the Red Cross 6-S some of its storage areas, and I didn't want to miss out on that.

By the end of the workday, about 1:30 PM, I was in misery and ready to hurl...so I went home to hibernate in The Woman Cave.

The horrid little ad on DailyKos asking us to sign a petition to "Defund Planned Parenthood" is using PP's LOGO...
Is that legal???
AND they lie about taxpayer funded abortion in the text of their little "here drink this koolade" blurb...not that THAT'S a surprise.

I recently received a comment from my only sibling, to a FB post I had made. It was a repost of a graphic my daughter had posted, and I added the comment that it should be simple enough for even a Republican to understand...
So my brother responds and asks why I keep slamming him, and I replied that I was not targeting him in particular, and he replied that it sounded like a slam and since he's a Republican I must have been slamming him, and I said that given the facts, and 30-odd years of evidence of the utter failure of Republican policies, I thought they deserved to get slammed, and that I was NOT targeting him, since I had no idea he could see my posts.

My brother won't "friend" me on FB because of our, or should I say, MY, politics.

Please follow me below the curry-colored curly-kos if you'd like to read on.

So, I tweaked the Cave some more, and regained a small space for dancing to the blues radio station on the teevee machine. I also got the closet re-work done, and now have a tidy, functional closet AND sewing space.

Here's my question though: if, while in the process of configuring the closet, a small, forgotten wooden sign fell down and bonked me in the face, and the sign read, "No Whining," does that mean I can't complain about the ensuing pain and swelling and miniscule cut under my nose, and the fat lip??

sigh I suppose it does.

Oh, the irony!!

At least it wasn't the iron...

:-)

I recently took over a spare bedroom, because I was longing for a room of my own (yes, Wolfe was right). When I stopped at the hardware store to pick up paint roller covers, the young girl at the checkout asked if I had a project going on. "Yes," I replied. "I'm painting The Woman Cave." She stopped dead, looked at me in astonishment and envy, and said, "I want one!"

I highly recommend getting one.

I painted mine Confident Rose. I am going to paint the trim Lambswool White, but haven't had time to get that far yet. I also want to experiment with some chalkboard paint on the back of the door.

It's full of my favorite things (vintage globes, old windup alarm clocks, birds' nests, cobalt glass, elves, vintage floral prints, creepy deer figurines, vintage tins and picnic baskets, books, CDs, old advertising ashtrays, candles, and lots of plants) and I am trying to figure out how to set up my sewing space in the closet. I can listen to my music, and work, and read, and study, and relax...it's a tiny, crowded, glowing little madhouse, and it's paradise.

All I can see out the windows, when I am in my favorite corner of the daybed, is trees and sky.

A little solitude can be a blessed thing.

I feel like Mel Gibson's character, William Wallace, as he cries, "FREEDOM!" at the end of Braveheart. Like Wallace, my "torture" is at and end; unlike Wallace, mine isn't ending with my death, thank all that is holy! I feel validated, released, redeemed...please come with me, down below the orange swirly, and I'll share the reason.

While in the process of prepping for an interview for my dream job (please wish me luck, dear Kossacks!) it struck me that deregulation DOES create jobs! Please follow me below the orange swirly for more...
