Same Old Late Tired Tuesday

Posted on January 25, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

I am making my Tired Tuesday Post early Wednesday morning, because, not surprisingly, last night I was tired. It is not unusual this time of year for anyone to feel tired, sluggish, and a little down, let alone a woman my age (middle).

Incidentally, for anybody older than me saying, “Shut up, you are not that old,” I will point out that it is all relative (not our relative, my sister Diane would point out) (she is witty). I have been referring to myself as “a woman my age” since my mid-30s. I was in the army at the time, having joined at the ill-advised age of 32, after a good ten years of a pretty sedentary life (for those of you who were or are magnificently athletic specimens at that age). So I was hanging out with a lot of young recruits.

At my current job, when I make a witty (or so I flatter myself) reference a co-worker does not understand, she says, “I don’t get old people humor.” Yes, once again I find myself in a job with people younger than myself. Some would say I am getting too old for these drastic career changes. SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!!

I hope these foolish posts where I just rattle are not getting old, but I can’t worry about that now. I only hope I have entertained somebody, and I thank you for tuning in.

Tired Today, Tired Tomorrow?

Posted on November 30, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

I always think I am going to come up with a better blog post tomorrow, but Tired Tuesday often follows Monstrous Monday, doesn’t it? I am tempted to justify myself with the argument, “Well, it’s not tomorrow, is it? It’s today!” You know, like the signs you sometimes see in bars, “Free Beer Tomorrow!”

I could go off on a philosophical riff here, about how we are always waiting for tomorrow, for something better in the soon-but-never-quite-gets-here future. I rather doubt I could come up with anything profound, and anyways, I like to save the half-baked philosophy for Lame Post Friday.

In the meantime, I would like to come up with a reasonably entertaining blog post today. I went for a walk this morning, as I usually do. I wish I could have taken pictures for an illustrated Pedestrian Post, but my phone does not take good pictures in the dark.

It is kind of fascinating, walking in the dark. Things look mysterious. I like to go by houses that have lights on. Otherwise, I feel I am the only soul awake, and I get lonely. This happened especially when I was at my previous job and took my morning walks around four (or was it around the block?) (teehee). Now I don’t start work till eight so take my walks around six.

Hmmm… I’ve a feeling my walks are more interesting to me than this blog post will be to my readers. Oh dear.

The best thing to do with a foolish post is to cut it short. I am, in fact, over 250 words. Let’s see if I can do any better on Wednesday (see: I did not say “tomorrow”).

Is This Any Way to Make a Blog Post?

Posted on August 18, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

Oh dear, it is the Type It In Backspace It Out Disease. That is no way to make a blog post! Hmm, that sounds like it could be a title. Actually I am feeling right now that there is no way I can make a blog post, which is a little silly, because, well, here we are. I am thinking this going to be a Wuss-out Wednesday Post.

It is still summer, isn’t it?

I threw in a picture to pep things up. It is our skeleton, Bonita and her friend Bonaparte in summer mode. We are beginning to get whiffs of fall these days, but it is definitely August. We will still feel plenty of heat.

Pretty! Alas, they are no more.

Speaking of August, here is a shot from August 2020. I hope to up my gardening game in 2023. Of course, I will be upping it from zero, so it will not be difficult to make some improvement.

My current mood?

From August 2019, I find some cloudy skies. I love a cloudy, gloomy day.

It’s scary!

I close with a picture from Horror Hotel, because, hey, why not Mid-Week Monsters?

So this is my blog post. I share pictures and babble on. Did I mention I am still tired? Oh, that was some of the stuff I typed in and backspaced out.

In My Defense, I Had Rehearsal

Posted on August 3, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

Oh dear. No Pre-Rehearsal Post, no Post-Rehearsal Post, it was indeed a Tired Tuesday yesterday. Now I have a very few minutes Wednesday morning to make some semblance of a blog post (that really should be a category: Some Semblance of a Blog Post. Thoughts?). Under the heading waste not, want not, I append what I started to post on Sunday before I roused myself to (slightly) greater effort.

I am lounged on my couch, Tablet on lap, pecking in on letter at a time with the stylus, and trying to rouse myself to make some effort. I confess to feeling quite disinclined to do any such thing. Where do other people come up with their ambition? Oh, I know, motivation follows action; just start doing something and you will find yourself doing more.

I thought, “This is nothing new! It is whiny and boring!” Yet I saved it, giving it the title “This sucks” just as something different from “untitled.” When I started to make this post, I remembered its existence, wondered if it was not perhaps a little less contemptible than I first deemed it, so checked it out. Yes, it is pretty contemptible, and I suppose so am I. At least I often feel that way.

However, I see I have babbled myself over 200 words. And I still have time to look over my lines before work. We have rehearsal again tonight, you know. Will I manage a Pre- or Post-Rehearsal Post? We shall see! In the meantime, I thank you for tuning in and leave you with a fun rehearsal picture, to pep up this silly post at least a little.

I love this shot! I couldn’t have gotten it on purpose if I had tried.

I Feel Beastly

Posted on July 29, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

The beauty part about getting up way early is that even when you oversleep, you still have time to do a few things. The beast part is choosing which things to give up (see what I did there?). So, no walk this morning, but I hope some semblance of a blog post. Some would argue that the walk is more essential, but while there is a vague chance I will take a walk after work, if I blog after work (which indeed I hope to do), it will be Friday’s post, not a late Thursday post.

So much for an introduction to a Non-Sequitur Thursday Post. I am sitting at my laptop (dining-room-table-top, as regular readers may recall), ten-finger typing, sipping greatly appreciated coffee

And that was when I said, “Oh crap, I didn’t plug in my phone,” followed by “Oh crap, where did I put my phone?” I retraced my steps (how many steps could I have taken; I just got up!). Luckily my phone, unlike my Tablet, retains its original charging chord so will easily reach 100 percent by the time I go to work. I only hope I remember to put it in my backpack, which, as anybodywho knows me will readily believe, is not a given.

As you may have guessed by now, I got nuthin’. What a surprise. I think I will throw in a picture to pep things up, slap on a catchy title, hit Publish, and drive on. I hope to see you all later on Lame Post Friday (thank God I made it to Friday!).

I admit I have had catchier titles.

May be an image of one or more people and text that says 'Smile it's...FRIDAY FRIDAY'

Oops, I put a Friday meme on a Thursday post.

Use this later

Posted on July 22, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

Alas, I am back to my bad habit of making a late blog post. In fact, I am skeptical of my ability to make a post now. We are having a heat wave, and I do not like it! I went for my walk, which I missed yesterday, and it is quite muggy out. The birds were not singing. They weren’t singing Tuesday either, and I do not remember Monday. Oh dear, I am getting all bogged down in my petty complaints and whining when I set out to plug a local business and musician. Get your act together, Cindy!

That is what I typed in this morning. Then I got my act together at least enough to make a post about Phil Arcuri at Fratello’s. However, mindful of the phrase Waste Not Want Not, I saved the whiny paragraph, labeling it “Use this later.” I think I will keep that as my heading and bill this as a Non-Sequitur Thursday post.

It is a fairly silly post, too, because the first thing I say is I am posting late, and here I am, fanatically pecking at the Tablet with my stylus hoping to make my Thursday post on Thursday. But when have I ever worried about making a silly post?

I thought I looked pretty.

I looked in my Media Library for a silly picture and found this. I believe I was dressed for a murder mystery. I must play with the curling iron again sometime.

Blog Before Bed

Posted on June 2, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

I do enjoy a four day week after a three day weekend. Those of you who work weekends and holidays, don’t hate on me. Hate on the people who don’t have to go to work at all! Just kidding. It is not good to hate on anything, even lima beans (yuck!) (incidentally, autocorrect changed “lima” to “Liam.” Who could hate on Liam Neeson? Dat’s crazy talk!).

In case you haven’t noticed, this is going to be one of my foolish posts. I just wanted to post tonight instead of tomorrow morning. I also already fixed my lunch. I might try to sleep in till five tomorrow. What a decadent thought!

Getting back to my four day week, I should feel happy that I have made it halfway through with so little problem. However, I am mostly noticing how once again I am getting very little done. This seems to be a recurring theme in my life as well as in this blog (then again, it is a blog about my life, so what do I expect?) (And why does autocorrect officiously change “lima” to “Liam” but let a legitimate typo like “expevt” stand?).

I feel it is good to keep foolish posts short, so I will sign off now. Counting this morning’s post as Tuesday, I am up to three days in a row!

Late Post, Little Point

Posted on March 29, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

I started to write a blog post while on break at work. It was not a very good one, so I stopped working on it and worked on a cryptogram puzzle instead. Now I am home and tired as I can be, yet I still want to make a blog post.

And that was when I decided I was too tired and gave it up. Now it is Tuesday morning, and I have enough time to finish this post or make my lunch. Maybe for both?

So here’s a late Monstrous Monday Post. If I make it short enough, I may be able to fix my lunch. And write the post card I just now remembered I meant to do.

Full disclosure: I did not have a glass of wine yesterday. I almost put “did not enjoy a glass of wine,” but that could have meant I had the glass; I just didn’t enjoy it. What a sad Monday that would be!

It seems this is a rather pointless post. Reading over what I have so far, I have no ideas for a headline. Headlines are hard. That last sentence brought me to 199 words. So at least it isn’t a short post. I hope you all had a more productive Monday.

In Haste, Late, and I Need Coffee!

Posted on January 20, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

I overslept! What a stupid thing to do! Talk about a Wuss-out Wednesday! This is a late post to begin with, and now it is going to be even more foolish than usual. If you can imagine such a thing (I can, but then I have a vivid imagination).

In my defense, I had rehearsal last night. I guess if that is going to be a defense, this blog is in for a lot of late, foolish posts in the near future. Until the blog becomes All Game Show All The Time. Game Show, for those of you just tuning in, is the play at Ilion Little Theatre that Steve and I both have parts in.

Last night’s rehearsal was a little less fun for me than Tuesday night’s, but you’ll have that. We are blocking right now, which I find the most boring portion of rehearsing any play. Blocking, in case you don’t know, is when the director tells the actors where they are supposed to move and when. Boring, but necessary. I have worked with a couple of directors who have not worked it out or, worse yet, just let the actors free to move where and when they please. Believe me, as rehearsals progress, you run into a lot more problems.

But I did not mean to digress into the mechanics of rehearsing a play. It might make a good blog post, but it is a subject that needs more time than I have right now, and, for me at least, should not be tackled before coffee. Speaking of which, my dear husband just handed me a mug of same. I’ll sign off now.

And I’m over 250 words. Phew!

Why Not Monsters?

Posted on March 17, 2021 by mohawkvalleygirl

Yes, I am making another late post. It is Wednesday morning, and this is my Tired Tuesday Post. In my defense, I was tired! Oh, well, I guess I almost always am tired. I didn’t say it was a good excuse. Never mind that. Let’s get on with the post. Just to set the scene, I am ten-fingered typing on my ailing laptop. I really must improve my computer situation.

Well, I just discovered my Media Library is no easier to maneuver through on the laptop than it is on the Tablet. I wonder if there are any fun downloads on the laptop I could share. A picture or two so peps up a post.

How fun is this one! My husband Steven must have downloaded it. He finds the best stuff. I know, it is no longer Monstrous Monday nor yet time for Mid-Week Monsters, but as you may have guessed, I do not have much today.

Here is another Steven must have recently downloaded. Unless I have computer ghosts or some unknown person has been breaking into my house for the sole purpose of downloading monster pictures on my laptop. One must consider all possibilities.

I must consider the possibility that I am running out of steam as a daily blogger. SAY IT AIN’T SO!!! I have been trying to have fewer of these foolish posts but without notable success. Full disclosure: they are kind of fun to write.
