Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
Please pardon me for not visiting you of late. Princess and I have been busy.
I've felt well enough to work more. My last paycheck was $65, which is quite an improvement over the previous check of $7. I know it's not much, but I'm hanging on to my benefits. I have Medicare Part A, but I don't want to deal with the other parts of Medicare while the fuckmonkey remains in the White House, giggling gleefully over all the poor slobs who have to pay more for health insurance.
Florida is in a drought. We had some rain Friday, but we'll need a lot more before we can enjoy the sparkling waters of Lake Junebug at
The Lake Junebug
Resort & Rumpus Room
I continue to hope Princess and I will be able to welcome guests this summer.
My birthday came and went during what our beloved Bob of I Should Be Laughing calls Fuckuary for good reason. Favorite Young Man and K spoiled me with cards and gifts, including a button that says Anti-Fascist As Fuck. FYM wrote in his card to me that I'm in my 30s. I texted him to say I don't have a problem with my real age, which is 107.
K says that one of my gifts hasn't arrived yet. She told me what it is. I'll reveal it to you after it arrives. Suffice it to say Nancy Pelosi will be thrilled when she sees it.
I had to get a new phone a few days ago. My old phone took forever to charge and then didn't hold the charge very long. Android Auto had also stopped working. I am Android Auto dependent in this huge city. Jacksonville is the largest city, geographically, of the 48 contiguous states. Because it was relatively inexpensive, I also got a smart watch in case of emergencies. For now, if I have an emergency, the watch is worthless because I can't figure out how it works. I can access its workings through the phone's screen so I'm sure I'll figure it out. It's charging on its little round thingy right now.
Princess and I had a meet and greet with a six-year-old male German Shepherd who needs a new home. I said no with some regret. He arrived at our home dragging his dad behind him. His current parents admitted he doesn't walk well on a leash. He was also twice the size of Princess. I would not be able to handle such a big, headstrong dog, but I was sad because Princess liked him. She invited him to play a few minutes after exchanging obligatory butt sniffs. I plan on filling out an application with a rescue for dogs of a different breed. I'll let you know what happens.
Please be patient with me when you leave a comment. I love and appreciate you for taking the time to read my words, but I have comment moderation enabled and sometimes it takes me a while before I get a chance to publish comments.
What are you doing for fun or for work? What are you reading? What are you watching? Have you kicked anyone in the butt? Have you given somebody a hand up?
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug

There are so many I’d be happy to kick in the butt right now. Sounds like things are going a bit better in your world (the one removed from Drumpf).
ReplyDeletePlenty deserve a good butt kicking. Different thumbnail of you. It's nice, but all photos of your handsome face are nice.
DeleteMoron is carrot in Welsh and carrots are orange so it suits him well.
ReplyDeleteWise not to take a dog you can't handle. Daughter's dog is only a spaniel but he is a nightmare on the lead, pulls my arm out!
The information about moron is the best thing I've learned in a long time. If I stumbled while trying to walk that huge dog I'm afraid he'd get away from me. His owners also said if he got out the door or escaped from the yard he would not return.
DeleteI avoid the TV anytime Cankles appears so of course I misses his Lying POS SOTU.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated 107th!!! Cheers to many more.
xoxo
I probably won't celebrate again until my 127th. That one will be exciting. I can't stand to look at the pedophile or hear his voice.
DeleteGreat memes and I bet I know why Nancy Pelosi will be happy!
ReplyDeleteI bet you know, too. I laughed when K texted me about the gift.
DeleteThanks for that excellent video on Neil Sedaka's career, Janie - I loved so many of his songs, both in his voice and by countless others who sang his songs. What am I reading? Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel, a Canadian writer who wrote one of my all-time favourites called Station Eleven. What am I doing? Recuperating after surgery; it's a longer process than I expected. And it prevents me from kicking anyone in the butt AND giving anyone a hand up, unfortunately, lol. I hope you find a canine companion for you and Princess soon.
ReplyDeleteMy darling donkey, thanks for being here. Recovering from any kind of surgery can be a long process and I wish you well. I loved Neil Sedaka and frequently sing his music as I work around the house.
DeleteWell, that's a bummer about the German shepherd, but it's important to get a dog that will be compatible with you and Princess. We're going to be thinking about recruiting our own rescue canine sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteI wondered if a dog would join you soon. You need someone to walk with you.
DeleteSo sad to hear of Neil Sadaka death. Songwriters are special to me, but he was such a nice guy! That's really all I truly care about, honestly. Too many bullies around for me. Sorry you couldn't keep that big dog. Hope he goes to a nice home. Peace and love to you in lovely JAX!
ReplyDeleteNeil Sedaka had been married for many years. They had two children. He always seemed to be a pleasant, happy man. I hope that dog goes to a good home, too.
DeleteI think you made a wise choice on the German. Two big dogs are a lot of work and time.
ReplyDeleteAnd not even the Dump memes make me laugh anymore. This whole situation with the current administration is making me feel numb and going into a shell. Is it over yet???
I wish it were over, Mads. Princess was tiny next to the other dog.
DeleteFirst, Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉 Looking good for 107. 😄 I hope you find a suitable dog to keep you and Princess company. You obviously made the right choice, turning that big Shepherd down. If he's that unruly, your safety is at risk. Enjoy the new phone! I need to get one, too, as mine is very slow and tends to freeze a lot. I've been mostly hibernating, because it's been too cold outside, but luckily, hubby doesn't mind, and takes care of Zoey's walks. We went to a comedy show on Saturday and laughed a lot, which was great to combat those winter blues. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks! No one thinks I look old enough to be 107. I'm sure I'll find the right dog for us. A comedy show must have been a great way to conclude February.
DeleteThanks for the Neil Sedaka video. His renaissance was inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it. I love his music.
DeleteHi Janie - I hope to get a new post up in a day or two ... and be back 'in the ring of us' so to speak ... not the carrot one. Love Liz's info snippet!! Take care and all the best as life progresses ... it's a challenge. Neil Sedaka is a great companion to have playing for us - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy to see a post from you whenever you publish it, Hilary. It's hard to beat Neil Sedaka's music.
DeleteStressful. Life.
ReplyDeleteBut good for you for turning down a lovely shepherd. One such not-good-on-leash husky cause an old friend to fall badly, and that was the beginning of too many medical bills, which from what you posted is not a good idea for you.
I hated not providing him with a home, but he was too much for me.
DeleteDidn't know of Neil Sadaka's passing. Nice little video. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteCBS Sunday Morning is my favorite news show.
DeleteLove the summation of the State of the Union Address. Kudos on looking for a rescue dog. Hope things level off for you soon. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandra. I didn't watch the speech because I knew it would be a load of crap.
DeleteYour Checks from Work are kinda like mine from the Antique Mall most Months now...
ReplyDeleteThen you understand. But I'm holding on and a few dollars is better than no dollars.
DeleteAbsolutely, that's how I feel about it and I still enjoy doing what I do there so the upside is it's been a lovely Social Outlet as well.
DeleteNeil Sedaka, that was a lovely trip down memory lane. I haven't kicked any butts, I helped a few people at the hospital today, I'm watching "The Flight Attendant" and reading "The Nightingale".
ReplyDeleteI've heard The Nightingale is excellent. I loved Neil Sedaka.
DeleteSending you love.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm seding love right back to you.
Deletenot seding, sending
DeleteHappy 107th - you're a mere infant. Remember, 107 is the new 35.
ReplyDeleteI hope Princess has a new companion soon - dogs do like dogs.
Good to know about 35. Yes, Princess will be happier when she has a dog companion in the house.
