2020 had only hours left but the hits just kept coming. Recently our office, along with our community was hit by this most recent wave of Covid19. We had one member of our office staff who didn't get it - one. Her name is Lupe and she puts hot sauce on everything she eats so … Continue reading Until We Meet Again

I Got the Rona
Anyone out there disagree with me when I say 2020 stinks on ice? Back in February I got sick. Weird symptoms. Seemed like a really bad UTI at times. Or something. My kidneys kind of hurt. I was tired and had some wicked brain fog. I lost my appetite. I was dying of thirst all … Continue reading I Got the Rona
Boop!
What do you see when you look into the eyes of an animal? I bring my dog, Bodie with me to work more days than not. Especially lately. My job can be stressful. Sometimes stepping away from the desk to take the dog or a quick walk just clears my head. This is not the … Continue reading Boop!
Grumbles
I'm not even going to ask if anyone reading this ever grumbles about anything. I catch myself doing it every day. I grumble about going to work in the morning sometimes. There are people out there who can't find a job. I grumble if the car made a weird noise on the drive to work. … Continue reading Grumbles
Mystery of the Serial Sh*tter
Why? I ask myself that single word question over and over, every day. Why? Why would someone do that? The world just never ceases to amaze me. In the field of Property Management no single object inspires the question of why more than the humble toilet bowl. The first time I cleaned an empty mobile … Continue reading Mystery of the Serial Sh*tter
Deconstructing Tracy – teaser
Creeping ever closer to the finish line on two - no, three - books I'm writing, I thought I'd share a little politically incorrect snippet from Deconstructing Tracy. I've been seeing/reading a lot of these "Rags to Riches" stories lately. Stories of how people came up from nothing to make something of themselves despite their … Continue reading Deconstructing Tracy – teaser
Yama-hahah
When I was in college (1986 I was invited not to return after the first year) I had a boyfriend from the Bronx. He had long hair and an earring. He wore a black leather jacket and aviator sunglasses. To a girl from the white-bread bland Connecticut suburbs he was about as bad-ass as it … Continue reading Yama-hahah
Monday Morning Maggot Meeting
A picture is worth how many words? Lots. We got one of the rental properties back today. After poking our heads inside we called the former tenant and asked when he was coming to get the rest of his stuff. He replied that he'd gotten everything that he was taking. Yeah. Go ahead and watch … Continue reading Monday Morning Maggot Meeting
Covid and Liabetes
So, I don't know if you've heard but there's this thing going on right now called Covid19. It started out much like the first Friday the 13th movie - just a flash in the pan, a low-budget nothing. Sheltering in Place was supposed to be a two week long deal while they either got a … Continue reading Covid and Liabetes
Crystal Ball
Ever watch South Park? I love South Park. You know you've really arrived when South Park makes fun of you. One of my favorite episodes is the one featuring "psychic" John Edwards. South Park is brilliant because they pack a lot of truth into their mockery. One of the scenes details how "psychics" like John … Continue reading Crystal Ball
