Welcome to the Weirdness!

I have been wanting to get back into blogging for a while now but the spark just has not been there.  A lot of it has been due to my hectic life of two jobs and grad school, but things are slowing down now and I have a little bit of time on my hands.  I figured "what the hell?" and decided to go back to blogging again.

As part of my fresh start, I am creating this new blog.  The name has come from my thoughts of this year so far.  Namely that my life is weird.  I am not saying this is a bad thing.  Far from it actually.  It is just that I seem to end up in situations that most "normal" people tend to avoid.  The strange part?  I thrive in them, so I guess I'm a bit weird too.

Enjoy the blog!

Struggling Mentally and Physically

This has been a rough week for me despite the fact it was supposed to be a "staycation." OK, who the fuck came up with the concept of a "staycation" being a Good Thing? It is definitely not a vacation, that's for sure. All I am doing is the crap that I did not have time for when the semester was going (e.g., scrubbing the house, doctors' visits, etc.). Am I resting? Hell no. I wish I was as I can really use it. Heck, even Bear is not enjoying himself. Mind you, he took the week off because we were expecting me to have surgery last week but he decided to take the week off anyways as he has not taken a vacation in a while either.  The poor guy has been chauffeuring me and helping me out since that damn injection backfired.  This has definitely not been a restful week for him either. So where does that leave me?  I feel like shit.  It is that simple. My hip is still suffering from the flare caused by the injection. Thankfully the pain is not the excruci...

When Lawmakers Make Stupid Decisions that Cause Millions to Suffer

You may think this post will be about Trumpcare or one of the other asinine laws going through Congress right now.  It's not. This is about the federal and state governments' ridiculous laws to help "curb" the opioid addition issues in this country. As you know, I have such severe osteoarthritis in my right hip that I am now bone-on-bone. However, due to my weight, I cannot have the surgery any time soon.  This means I am going through extreme amounts of pain. For example, this morning I went downstairs to make some breakfast for myself. By the time I managed to get back upstairs I was in so much pain that I was crying .  I do NOT cry from pain, which says something.  It wasn't the level 10 pass-out from shock pain but it was a good constant 9.5 pain that would not go away.  As I have mentioned many times before, my years playing hockey "toughened" me up so I ignore most pain.  So, if I am crying  from the pain that says a lot. I have mentioned thi...

Grapes Strikes Again

Image
I find it rather ironic that just after posting about Don Cherry (aka "Grapes") and his gods-awful suits, he goes and wears this last night: WTF was he thinking? Yes, that is a blood-spatter suit.  How the heck he found this is beyond me.  I mean, I know the guy has a habit of wearing some of the most questionable outfits I have ever seen but this one truly takes the cake. Of course, those on Twitter had a field day with this one .  My favorites?  Well I have a couple... Run Ron run... Yes, he does tend to butcher names, especially foreign-sounding ones. I am truly starting to wonder about his sanity at this point.  Then again, he is 83 so maybe dementia is setting in.  Who knows?  I just feel really sorry for Ron MacLean who has put up with his shit for decades.
