142. Hold the Ketchup

March 28, 2021March 28, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Sunday March 28 2021 It felt a bit like vertigo when we entered a restaurant today, with the people, noise, and the too-warm air that heralded our arrival. I was hit with a micro-second of disorientation until I could process this chaos. A reminder that I really don't get out much, or at least other … Continue reading 142. Hold the Ketchup

135. Burn Burgers, Not Books

March 4, 2021March 7, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Thursday March 4 2021 Let's face it. I'm a small town midwestern girl with absolutely no dreams about moving to the big city. I like a simple life, comfortable shoes, and friendly dogs. Kinda wholesome, right? Then maybe it's not too unexpected that I have a strong value system about what I feel is right. … Continue reading 135. Burn Burgers, Not Books

124. Traditional Superstition

January 1, 2021January 4, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Friday January 1 2021 Sure, we're all ready for a fresh start. Just like I want a hard stop to writing this pandemic journal. But we can't all wish the weirdness of 2020 away with a wave of our hands, now can we? Still. That kind of negative thinking is never helpful to the delicate … Continue reading 124. Traditional Superstition

118. Don’t pretend it isn’t weird

November 26, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Thursday November 26 2020 This image that remains even after you close your eyes comes courtesy of our local mega-grocery. I'm sure they meant well. Actually, I don't know that. Look, we can't pretend this isn't weird. I mean Thanksgiving this year. We're staying home, just the two of us and the dogs, and we'll … Continue reading 118. Don’t pretend it isn’t weird

104. Another Isolation

October 31, 2020November 26, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Saturday October 31 2020 We don’t get trick or treaters at our homestead. My educated guess is because we don’t have a sidewalk and it’s rather sketchy to cross our busy road that separates the like of us from the suburban plat dwellers. It would slow down the youngsters and reduce their potential candy yield. … Continue reading 104. Another Isolation

95. Chew on this

September 27, 2020November 15, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Sunday September 27 2020 Can I admit that they had me at breakfast? As much as I’m jonesing for the drive home and to reunite with my dogs who are staying at a high dollar resort with more amenities than our Holiday Inn Express, I’m not even kidding because they had room service and we … Continue reading 95. Chew on this

91. Once you go square

September 23, 2020November 8, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Wednesday September 23 2020 You know what’s great about our southwestern corner in Ohio? Marion’s Pizza, that’s what. Referred to as appetizer pizza by Chicagoans who were weaned on their thick-crusted pizza stews, our local chain has offered the best combo of ingredients to ever come out of a can since 1965. Well, it used … Continue reading 91. Once you go square

48. Ear worm

June 30, 2020August 29, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Tuesday June 30 2020 Last day of June 2020. Taking bets on what July will bring us. Murder hornets turned out to be a non-event, or merely edged out of the news because who cares about them now. We continue to watch the horizon for the four horsemen. Been keeping a journal in my head … Continue reading 48. Ear worm

34. Tikking time bomb

May 27, 2020August 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Wednesday May 27 2020 We’ve now surpassed 100,000 COVID-19 deaths in the United States. Today’s milestone. If Murder Hornets aren’t enough to have a guest role in your nightmares, then we’ve got something else in social media that will take away the purest of our joys. Videos are being shared, I think it’s a Tik … Continue reading 34. Tikking time bomb

30. Hunt & gather

May 20, 2020August 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Wednesday May 20 2020 Last Friday, I decided to make a trip to our local meat shop to check out how worried we need to be about the rumored meat shortage. I’ve rarely made a trip to Landes over the years; they’re less than ten minutes away, but I could never get into the groove … Continue reading 30. Hunt & gather
