September 13, I went to a regularly scheduled appointment with my general practitioner. (He’s terrible, but that’s another story). I got a flu shot and a prescription for 5 mg of Ambien for anxiety because he won’t write me for Ativan. (Perfect, I look forward to taking the Ambien when I’m anxious during the workday,…

2020 Year in Review (or, what a clusterfuck)
1. What did you do in 2020 that you’d never done before? Survived a pandemic? 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t remember if I made resolutions, but I probably didn’t keep them. My 2021 resolution is to Do Better and get the vaccine…
A Post-Scooby Universe
I absolutely can’t believe I haven’t written about this. (I’m so sorry, Bertie) We lost Scooby in January. He was fine. And then he wasn’t. And then he was gone. One Thursday in January, I was doing my pre-workday nap (I do this Monday through Thursday if Gene is not working from home) after hauling…
2018 Year in Review
1. What did you do in 2018 that you’d never done before? I rode on a tank! 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? My 2018 resolution was to Do Better. I don’t know. 2019’s resolution is again, Do Better. 3. Did anyone close to you…
My Dog’s Asshole, and the other dog IS an asshole
Hey, if your dog’s butthole looks a little misshapen, like he/she has a zit next to said butthole, take that poor beast to the vet right away. Don’t put it off because the groomer didn’t mention anything. Don’t put it off because your husband thinks you’re weird to check out your dog’s ass. And if…
An Attitude of Flattitude
Hello. Happy Thanksgiving, nearly. Here are the things I am NOT grateful for this year: Not making it to Indiana. Again. Having to cancel 2 vacations this year (New Orleans and Miami) due to health and scheduling problems. Year end is nearly here. This is my 19th year end. I am truly afraid that I…
1. What did you do in 2017 that you’d never done before? Turned 40, Tweeted (a fair bit), Got Laid off, Filed for unemployment, Got a new job, quit that job, Got a new new job 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t remember…
It’s All Over Now, Betty Boop
So. The terrible awful thing that happened the day after we got to TX. (Hideous Spoiler Alert: As of today, we only have two dogs now) Anyway. Early in 2016, Betty was taking a long time to pee. I’d noticed it even in Cheesecake City but chalked it up to her being old. Eating like…
The last 6 months
So, here’s what I’ve been up to in the last year Coworker J and her husband got pregnant. The second J told me this great news, I demanded to get to host her baby shower. The LaineyD from 2009 is horrified that I would attend a shower, let alone host the damn thing. The shower, initially…
With all Due Respects to Pee Wee Herman…
The stars at night are big and bright (clap clap clap clap) Deep in the Heart of Texas! So we’ve moved (Me, Gene, Scooby and Sadie; more on that later). And I finally realized that I needed to try and start writing here again. So I’m here. Welcome Home LaineyD
