Well, Dammit
It would appear that my camera's pooch has been screwed. I don't know. It's acting very wacky and the computer doesn't recognize it and to turn it off you have to take the batteries out. This does not bode well, does it? Here we are about to have a grandson with no functioning camera beyond the one in the phone.
Drat. Maybe it will heal itself. Sometimes these things happen.
I don't know. I'm not feeling real right with the world today. It's still gray outside after a night of gentle drizzle and although I'm grateful for that in regards to the garden, it's not doing a lot for my soul and I'm having one of those mornings where I feel as if I don't know a damn thing and haven't a damn thing to say and can't even post the pictures I took last night in the twilight and you'll just have to take my word on the fact that the hurricane lilies are coming up.
I think we would all be better served if I took a walk, fed my chickens and did the laundry.
And so...I will.
And if you came here today expecting wisdom, humor or entertainment, please feel free to ask for a refund from the nice man in the box office on your way out.
Perhaps later the clowns will find their make-up and funny shoes and the show will go on at that point.

TAKE THE PILLS! Go for a walk. Eat some fresh veggies. Sit. Be still. You'll be fine soon enough. Oh! And shop for a new camera. You CANNOT be cameraless.
ReplyDeleteIt ain't so bad. I think you should listen to the Stones and hang something new on the wall.
ReplyDeleteWe all have those off days. It's unfortunate, but what is one to do?
ReplyDeleteConsidering how many times I've visited and there's been not just a double, but a triple feature on your blog, I won't be demanding a refund. I owe you!
ReplyDeleteI hope the rest of your day is peaceful.
Ms. Windy- I'm fine. Just normal uselessness and sorriness at this point. But that is all good advice and I will take it.
ReplyDeleteDTG- Hmmm. Stones. Hang something new on the wall. Mole slicer?
Marsha- Muddle through.
Elizabeth- I'm grateful for your patience.
Mole grater!
ReplyDeleteOur car always heals itself, so there's always a chance that your camera will do the same.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! What's a mole grater? Or slicer? You could hang the monkey peeler perhaps? I remember you got one. That sounds like it should go with the mole grater. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay I don't need a refund - I got what I need which is fresh honesty and truth - weren't we all just talking about that yesterday, truth is better than pasting on A Happy Face when you feel like crap. When you feel like crap, you're free and in fact would be wise to just name it and say it :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll try to add to the overall, speaking of graters. A LAME joke "It felt like he was talking a rusty cheese grater to my Last Nerve" Not even a joke but you know what I mean :)
Hugs,
Mary
Ok, I had a dream about you last night. And I will tell you right now that if I am ever blessed enough to get to come visit you, I am NOT going to slide down a big sloppy muddy hill with your daughters, no matter how fun they tell me it is. just sayin.'
ReplyDeleteDTG- Mole skewer. Mole beater. Moleskin pie plate.
ReplyDeleteErin- I am hoping.
Nicol- When the kids were young and we'd go to one of those restaurants that hangs antique farm implements up on the wall and we couldn't figure out what they were, I'd always say they were some sort of mole apparatus. I have no idea why but it still cracks us up.
Mary- I know that feeling.
Kori- Really? You don't want to slide down a muddy hill? But it's SO much fun. Really!
Kori, I dreamed once I was with the Moons too! Only we sat around and smoked cigarettes, for some ungodly known reason.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Ms Moon, the weather is gorgeous here and I still can't feel it...nothing seems to be going right this week, and I am trying to figure some way to blame this on hormones.
Oh Mama, I hope you are feeling better. For some reason, I am feeling pretty good today. I think I am looking forward to this four-day weekend I'm about to have. (Is that even considered a weekend?)
ReplyDeleteI think you need to find yourself a nice new camera. I returned mine and never bought a new one, so that justifies you buying one. Right? Plus, I know you would use it more than I was, and the whole blog world would benefit.
Kori, don't you want to come slid down a muddy hill with me and my sisters? It will be sooo much fun! Come on!
I love you mamma! I hope that you are feeling better soon. I think I will be giving you a call later, but I just wanted to say hi on here.
ReplyDeleteWhat's all this about muddy hill sliding?
ReplyDeletethere's nothing worse than having technology challenges when one needs technology most.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs.
Just sending love. I'm having a yucko day, too.
ReplyDeleteSB
Some days are better than others for sure. I just hate it when those bad days appear and I really hate it when they appear consecutively. I just had my blue spell for the month. No refund for me however because Ms. Moon is always worth a visit. Take care and hope today is a better day.
ReplyDeleteMaybe your camera needs new batteries. My camera starts acting kerfluey when the batteries get old.
ReplyDeleteThanks to your son for resizing the tree - quite frankly, it was scaring me, even though I've learned to accept it, it was one scarey big-ass tree!
Time to get a new camera, methinks. The drizzle is here, too. No refund required.
ReplyDeleteI'm inviting myself to slide down the muddy hill with you all. I'd be honored to be in the muddy company of all you lovely ladies.
ReplyDeleteSJ- Blame it on the moon.
ReplyDeleteHoneyLuna- I'm glad you're having a good day. I'm having an okay day. Nothing bad. I'm still hoping my camera heals itself. Too much time on the humid porch?
Lily- Hello my love!
Ms. Fleur- It was a dream that Kori had.
Marsha- Amen.
Ms. Bastard- We just have to cowboy up, cupcake. Haha!
Mr. Shife- Don't be blue. You have the cutest baby in the world.
Ms. Lucy- Nope. Not the batts.
Mwa- Not yet. I must give it time to heal.
Michelle- Come on then! We'll find a hill somewhere.
Kori- Look, the hill is very muddy and very fun. You won't regret it, I promise.
ReplyDeleteMama- Yeah, this day is blech. I took a walk, but I didn't like it.
Mole Smasher!
May- Okay. I am done worrying about this day. You have seconded the fact that it is nothing but a blech day. I, too, took a walk and I didn't enjoy it either. I did see two deer, though. That was okay. And a hawk. But besides that, it was nothing but gray and sweat. Blech, blech, mole-smashing blech.
ReplyDeleteIt will get better, and now you have a mission: find a camera worthy of taking 1st born grandbaby pics.
ReplyDeleteThe big, full Harvest moon is coming on Friday, Ms. Moon. It is rainy here in GA too but I hope "the grey" clears up in your neck of the woods soon.
ReplyDeleteOoops, actually the Harvest moon is in early Oct this year. Well, a big, full moon will be here on Friday regardless.
ReplyDeleteRachel- The first mission will be convincing Mr. Moon we need a new camera. He has not sold a car in a month.
ReplyDeleteMichele Renee- Full moon's a full moon. And always lovely. I've been observing it bellying up.
I hope your day got better after this. Maybe you should stop at Target and get some disposable cameras to have on-hand if your real camera doesn't work on the big day.
ReplyDeletecupcake up, cowboy!
ReplyDeleteyou wrote a non-post post and got 20+ comments.
your camera broke, and yet that photo of the ticket booth is by far the coolest photo i've seen all day.
there is one newborn, one small, and one medium recycled wool diaper cozy on their way as soon as you email your address.
sounds like a good day to me.
Ginger- Well, Lily and Jason have a camera. I'm still waiting for mine to heal itself. I really CAN'T blog successfully without a camera, though.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne- The address should be in your in-box. I just adore you.
A camera is very, very necessary. I would like to live my life through yours, so I must SEE it :)
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Ms. Moon.
You could go out and get a piercing? ;)
ReplyDeleteAunt Becky- Problem solved.
ReplyDeleteMs. Jo- I used to do that. Not anymore, though. But it's a good suggestion!
i just had a super gay moment and started singing "send in the clowns." so what if i was singing it to my rainbow unicorn?
ReplyDeleteDaddy B- Really. So the fuck what? That doesn't make you gay. Just...a fun guy who loves B. Streisand and unicorns and rainbows. And who doesn't??!!
