Anger is two words. One is four letters, the other three. You figure it out.

A therapist once told me that I’m an angry person. Me? Sweet little PuddleMonkey? Yes, me. Well, I like being angry. It’s cathartic. I’m angry that I may live to be 95 years old, in which case I’ll probably outlive my retirement income and be forced to spend my final years in some flea-infested state hospital. [...]

More junk in my trunk

I hate this time of the year, but not for the usual reasons you might think. Okay, I don't particularly care for the commercialization of Christmas. I generally lose sleep trying to figure out what presents to buy for the lucky sots on my list, and I sure don't want to spend any time in a shopping mall dodging all the consumer whores, but what I truly, truly loathe most about this time of the year is the food: it's all so good, and everyone makes too much of it.

Help me! I’m spinning! I’m spinning!

For the last six months I have experienced numerous episodes of vertigo. At first I experienced only motion sickness in the car, so I wrote it off. When I started getting dizzy in the elevator on the way up to or down from the office, I decided I better see my physician. She conducted a few minor tests, on of which was to ask me stand, close my eyes and hold my arms out in front of me.

I couldn't maintain my balance.

Someone put me out of my misery, please!

I am as messy as messy gets . . . for someone my age, anyway. I had a bout with "pink eye" last week that I thought cleared up. I had a half-full bottle of antibiotic eye drops--still good-- from the last round I had with this nasty little problem, so I thought I might get lucky and avoid a trip to the doctor's office. My eye cleared up right away, but today I find that it's red again, and I have a nice film covering it, which is causing me slightly blury vision.
