A pleasant surprise

January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 / CrazyKat1963 / 7 Comments

In search of a new spot in Hawaii to experience, I honed in on the Hilo side of the Big Island. This would be the wet side! Hilo gets approximately 143 inches of rain on about 236 days per year. Compare that to where I live, Portland, Oregon, which gets maybe 43 inches of rain … Continue reading A pleasant surprise

Travel in the time of covid

January 16, 2022January 16, 2022 / CrazyKat1963 / Leave a comment

As mentioned previously, I had been on a plane since covid surfaced. I flew with my sister, a short flight to Tucson, for her rehab drop off this past July. It went okay. We then had our Hawaii time share booked for October, our mostly annual at this point birthday trip for Blue Eyes and … Continue reading Travel in the time of covid

You should ask for your money back

August 15, 2021 / CrazyKat1963 / 9 Comments

Where are the balkans? We finally did our DNA home kit swab tests and sent them in. We purchased the tests years ago at the same time we purchased them as gifts for my mom and step dad. My father and step mother have since done theirs as well. Honestly, I’m a little surprised by … Continue reading You should ask for your money back

Spring in the time of covid

August 1, 2021August 1, 2021 / CrazyKat1963 / 8 Comments

This post is long overdue. It was in the queue, but I had been too lazy to go through all the photos to make a proper post. However, with the latest family crisis, I decided to look back on a fond memory. One I had intended to share, but never did. In February, The Pragmatist … Continue reading Spring in the time of covid

Tired of pretending, Part Four

July 31, 2021July 31, 2021 / CrazyKat1963 / 7 Comments

I spent all day Tuesday (7/20) running around picking up things for my sister who was still safely at the crisis center here in Portland at that point. Again, I didn’t want her spending the night out of a secure facility. I arrived at the crisis center Wednesday morning at about 10:30am. By 11:30am my … Continue reading Tired of pretending, Part Four

Purging

September 2, 2020September 2, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 12 Comments

Since Blue Eyes reconnected with his parents in December, I have not had any contact with them other than the one dinner in Los Angeles. This is a good thing for me. Blue Eyes tells me they are quite often these days sending him messages asking about Portland. They express disgust with what is theoretically … Continue reading Purging

We’re in this together

May 30, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 29 Comments

Huge peony blooms from my cutting garden. I know it’s confusing to some, how or even why I would want to stay partnered with a person who lied and cheated and systematically betrayed me. How to get past the wounds, and why? Why trust? Why knowingly make myself vulnerable to a proven abuser. The question … Continue reading We’re in this together

A friend sent this yesterday. I think it is beautifully written, and so true. The tears flowed. I'm missing my Brooklyn boy.The Last Time From the moment you hold your baby in your arms,you will never be the same.You might long for the person you were before,When you have freedom and time,And nothing in particular … Continue reading Missing those days

On his own terms…

February 10, 2020February 10, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 37 Comments

A few people have mentioned here and elsewhere how my dad lived life on his own terms. He lived that way, and then he died that way. Dad passed away last Thursday, February 6. He was stuck in the ICU for five weeks. No doubt it was torture for him. Before going into the hospital … Continue reading On his own terms…

Too soon to say goodbye

January 7, 2020January 7, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 33 Comments

We found out early Friday morning that my dad is in critical condition, in the ICU up north near his home in Washington State. He's 77 years old. He’d been in some abdominal pain for a few days, which then became severe, and he asked my step mom to call an ambulance because he literally … Continue reading Too soon to say goodbye
