Well, as you can expect, my UpBeatness took a big hit with the death of my daughter. I have finally readjusted my progress and will adjust it again, as I adjust myself. It actually plunged to zero...

Aside from feeding my pets and myself, and keeping doctor appointments, the rest is up in the air. My desktop computer had become a doorstop many months ago. This week I got it running again. I can...

I am on the downhill side of 62, and as days go by, I am becoming one of the very people I used to snicker at.I have a beef with the garbage man. Not all garbage men, just mine. He comes for weeks on...

As I was going out for the mail this afternoon, the apple tree next to the house started making a cracking noise. Every time I would look at it, it would quit, so I decided to sit a while and watch...

Every year at this time, one or two come a-flyin' around inside the house. I used to be scared. I'd run next door and beg the neighbor to get the thing out. He would kill it and bury it for me. My...

My son appeared yesterday with his new saw. I had a broken branch on the apple tree and felt bad for the tree so I asked him to come and cut it off. As I was lopping up that mess, he grabbed the...

Blah. Another holiday. I wish the stores would cool it a little bit. Just expressing my opinion. I don't expect Corporate America to do anything but push holiday related products until the day after...

The rain washed out a gully where my driveway meets the road. Township is still getting materials together for Spring maintenance. Life runs reeeeeeeally slooooow around here. My son, when he still...

Maybe I should stay out of doctors' offices for a while. I went for an allergy shot yesterday, and in the waiting room were two kids, a boy about three, and a little girl about five. No one else...

Yuck. I went to a specialist yesterday for a follow-up consultation. There were several things I wanted to discuss, but he acted like such an a**h#le that I didn't bother. Stupid guy, I don't know...

Hey hey. Yesterday our church hosted a concert by a guy who plays jazz trumpet. That man played that horn the way it was meant to be played. I was into that. Thank you Lord, one more boring sermon I...

I think I see the sun peeking out today. It's been so cloudy and cold for days and days. Nice to see the light again.  Calls for a five percent rise in my upbeatness.

I just replaced a corner light on my poor old car that got put out when some jerks blew by me in a muscle car. I heard a loud bang at the time and was thankful it didn't come through the windshield....

While I was out cuttin' back wild bushes on Memorial Day, a very bright sun dog appeared in the sky. I took that to be my ray of hope so my upbeatness goes up a notch. Just recording it now.

Blah. This rain and cold is a brutal blow to my upbeatness.
