Still Tired on Tuesday

Posted on July 12, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

I said yesterday that I would try for a better blog post tomorrow, but that would be today, and I am having a Tired Tuesday. In my defense, I am not a young woman and I had rather a hard time running the Boilermaker 15K two days ago. Perhaps you read my blog posts about it. I just glanced over yesterday’s post and noticed a few typos. I left them there, as testimony to what bad shape I was in.

Oh, just listen to me whine! I am embarrassing! For heaven’s sake, I went for two walks yesterday, a short one before work today, and I worked on my feet for eight hours. I am hardly on, you should pardon the expression, my last legs. I should be grateful for the body I have and for the things it lets me do. Of course I am, so you can stop playing that miniature violin (you know who you are).

Where was I? Ah yes, trying to make some blog post, any blog post. Perhaps a picture would pep things up.

I knew it wasn’t Friday.

A little Bela and Boris to brighten our day (that is Lugosi and Karloff, in case you needed to be reminded). It was a rather Mondayish Tuesday for me, since I took Monday off. I expect to remain confused about what day it is for the rest of the week. These things happen.

In the meantime, I see I am over 200 words. Score! We’ll see how I do tomorrow, on Wuss-out Wednesday. If I remember that it is Wednesday.

Wuss-out, Wayback, Wordless, It’s Not Even Wednesday Anymore!

Posted on December 29, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

So I wussed out on Wuss-out Wednesday, not making a post at all. No excuses; as I often say, explanations are tiresome (I know this, because I usually try to explain things and it is almost always tiresome) (for me as well as the listener). As I prepare for a 12-hour day (don’t ask), I thought I would attempt some semblance of a blog post, since I will no doubt be too tired to do so later. I was thinking Way-back Wednesday when I had the heady thought, Wordless Wednesday. Just pictures! I can shut up!

As if I ever do that!

Just to put you in the picture: I am ten-finger typing on my dining-room-table-top (which regular readers may recall began life as an ordinary laptop). I thought it would be quicker, but this computer takes forever to boot up and for any pages to open up. Yikes! It is sheer relief that I am sitting here typing and not watching one of those little circles swirling, swirling…

But I digress.

Alas, not my New Year’s Eve outfit.

I believe I wore this fabulous ensemble to the Ilion Little Theatre Christmas party in 2016. Then again, I had a more active social life in those days, so I may have been going somewhere else. Now that I look at it again, all I can see is the clutter at the bottom of the stairs. Perhaps if I had not said anything, some people would not have noticed. Oh well, I have never denied the fact that I am a lousy housekeeper.

I see I have blathered on for over 250 words. Score! If I wuss out again this evening (which, full disclosure, I fully expect to do), perhaps I could manage a Non-Sequitur Thursday post tomorrow. As always, I hope you’ll stay tuned.

Tired But Still Blogging

Posted on December 28, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

I had hoped that Tired Tuesday would not follow Monstrous Monday, but here we are. Yesterday wasn’t such a great Monstrous Monday Post anyways, with only one monster picture and a whole lot of whining, but one does what one can. My intention now is to make some post, any post, and continue to do so every day. We can all hope that at least a few good posts sneak their way in.

I do not feel really awful about not making a better blog post today, because I had little chance to do anything blogworthy. I went to work and after work stopped at three retail establishments. Oh, OK, it was the liquor store (I usually call it the liquid store, after a then four year old niece referred to it as such), a convenience store, and the grocery store. I suppose I could have worked one or all of those into a blog post. I can’t do it now.

“Ho! Ho! Huh?”

I thought I would throw in a picture to pep things up and found a shot of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians in my Media Library in December 2020. I feel it is OK to continue the Christmas spirit till New Year’s Day, if not Jan. 6.

In case you had not noticed, I continue my slow convalescence from the flu. YES, I am grateful my case was not worse. I admit it may be unbecoming to continue to complain. Sheesh!

On the brighter side, I am over 250 words. Score! Maybe I could try for a Pedestrian Post tomorrow. Or there’s always Wednesday night at Fratello’s. Different possibilities add interest to my life.

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.

Wuss-out? Wayback? It’s Not Even Wednesday!

Posted on July 28, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

Yesterday was indeed a Wuss-out Wednesday. I not only did not make my blog post, I did not do a whole lot else. I went to work, I went to rehearsal for Love’s Labour’s Lost (perhaps you read some of my blog posts about the play I am in). Oh, and I made Tuesday’s blog post before work (that was one of the posts about the play referred to in the earlier parenthetical comment). I sat on the porch with my husband and enjoyed the evening, before and after rehearsal. I consider that an important thing to do, even though it is not what one might call productive.

Never mind all that. It is time to make another Some Post, Any Post (is that a category? Perhaps it should be). How about some Mid-Week Monsters (oh why isn’t it Friday, I lament).

Isn’t she sweet?

I combine Wuus-Out with Wayback by sharing a picture from 2016. OK, not very way back. We got this lovely witch at Pumpkin Junction in Sauquoit, NY, one of your favorite places to go in October. Full disclosure: this witch is still on our porch from last Halloween. We dressed her as an angel at Christmas time. Alas, we did not take a picture of that.

A good place to obtain monsters and other Halloween stuff.

Here is a picture of the main building of Pumpkin Junction. They are only open in the fall. I will no doubt make at least one blog post about them at the time (preview of coming attractions).

I see I have somehow gotten over 250 words. Score! I need to go eat breakfast and fix my lunch. Happy Wednesday/Thursday, everyone!
