This is Ollie The cat, that is. Ollie used to be named Sonic and he used to belong to my Youngest Daughter BUT then, a few years ago, there was that fire which displaced her whole family just a day after my youngest granddaughter was born. Ollie, then Sonic, couldn’t be found for days and… Continue reading The Cat Came Back…Eventually

Three and a Half Hours Later

I’m up and running with all products on another transaction place. Royal pain but it’s all done. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Scammer Bitch….I usually do this at this point because the following happens after one of these lovely events….you didn’t mean it, SB, I know you didn’t, but you taught me… Continue reading Three and a Half Hours Later

The Candle Lady & The Scam Artist

I hate Bad People. They really suck. Since being unemployed….oh, yes, Hubby is now also unemployed so we’re really trying to make that huge $250.00/week unemployment check stretch! I’m still not getting any unemployment because, ya know, I worked in a church for 5 years not realizing I was giving that benefit to put up… Continue reading The Candle Lady & The Scam Artist

On the Job Hunt

Over the years, this hasn’t gotten any easier but it has gotten weirder. I don’t think anyone out there actually likes job hunting (you can let me know if you feel differently in the comments section). It’s a grind. I’ve been forced to get used to the Zoom/Teams job interview. That stinks. People in my… Continue reading On the Job Hunt

In a Witch’s Garden 2025

Divine Retribution

I know I shouldn’t do this. I should just quietly accept the Big ‘W’, smile, laugh to myself, and walk away. I really should. BUT Well, I saw on FB that church services were canceled for this past Sunday. I thought that was odd especially because there’s no real reason given just ‘unforeseen circumstances’ (they’re… Continue reading Divine Retribution
