It’s not too early to set aside some free fonts for Hanukkah presents.

Yo, everybody. I sincerely wanted to write a post on Thursday but couldn’t squeeze it into my schedule. I was busy all morning with my monthly catheter change hoo-hah (which went very well, thank you for asking), and then spent the balance of the day: 1) sleeping; 2) watching quirky, atmospheric movies*; and 3) eating things.

Thursday’s quirky, atmospheric movie was The Penguin Pool Murder (1932) starring Edna May Oliver as a crime-fighting old maid schoolteacher and James Gleason as Inspector Piper from the NYPD solving a murder in the fish tanks at the city’s aquarium. (Withers and Piper have a flirty romance going on in this film. It can be difficult to watch at times, especially the scene where they’re eating breakfast in Withers’ apartment and hinting that he spent the night there. Jesus.)

Don’t be jealous, but I’ve got the entire six-film Hildegard Withers series on DVD, and they’re also stored on our DVR. Woo-hoo!

I’m waiting for my hospice C.N.A. as I write this post. It’s bath day. And as soon as I’m finished Sam will drive to Wal-Mart for another fabulous pickup order.

Guys, if you’ve never tried Wal-Mart’s free grocery pickup you’re missing the thrill of a lifetime. I’m completely bedridden and haven’t set foot in a supermarket for about 10 years, but now I finally get to shop the entire contents* of my favorite Super Wal-Mart store aisle by aisle online, and then choose a day and time to pick it all up. At no extra cost, and tipping isn’t expected or allowed. And better yet, Sam doesn’t even have to get out of his car.

I get really excited about shit like this. (You’ll get used to it.)

Excluding clothes, shoes, hardware, automotive … whatever you wouldn’t find in a grocery store. However you DO get to shop for everything else, including Popsicles. Are you happy yet?!

I feel unwell today. In case you’re inclined to give a crap about this: 1) my knees are killing me; 2) I’m chilled and shivering; 3) my nose is running; 4) my eyes are watering; 5) my temperature is 95.4°; and 6) I’m hungry. I actually feel like a dead mackerel.

Let’s move on.

I’ve got nine more free fonts for you, people! Today’s list includes hand-drawn fonts (“Wild Things,” “Love Ya Like A Sister”), interesting display fonts (“Great Circus,” “Big Owl,” “Bootcamp”), quirky typography (“Creative Twister,” “Twinkie Sans”), a display layering font with a heavy extruded shadow (“Bungee”), and a bold, grungy font (“Menzanine”). Please note that “Bootcamp” includes a Morse code font that lets you type in English and print in dots and dashes. It’s the perfect choice to send aggravating (and stupid) messages to your friends and loved ones.

As always, download links will appear below the font list. HOT TIP: It’s not too early to set aside some free fonts for Hanukkah presents.

Wild Things • Great Circus • Creative Twister • Bootcamp

 Love Ya Like A Sister • Menzanine • Big Owl  • Bungee • Twinkie Sans

While I don’t read the national news any more or even scan the headlines, it sounds like the Democrats are finally making their move to eject Donald Trump. This morning I’ll instruct Sam to keep me up-to-date with minimal information … just enough to keep my spirits up. Kindly cross your fingers. Thank you.

I would like to make an important announcement, okay? It’s 10:30 Saturday night and I CAN’T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I ATE ANYTHING. I think I recall Sam bringing me a kiddie-size cup of sugar-free Jell-O around 9 a.m. (between naps) because I asked for something sweet, but that’s probably it. My appetite stinks because I’m always asleep. (Note: You can’t eat when you’re unconscious.)

Sam and I are both keenly aware that I’m still losing a lot of weight. The hospice nurses measure my upper arm every couple of weeks to document my continuing weight loss since they’re unable to weigh me (I can’t stand on a scale). My arms are getting skinny. My legs and feet are getting skinny, too. (I know my fingers are skinny because my wedding ring is falling off.)

And now I think I’ll publish this post and work on a few creative projects … i.e., new greeting cards for The Howdygram Store! As soon as I upload the artwork to my Zazzle marketplace I’ll share them here in the Howdygram. Stay tuned. And thank you for reading this in the meantime.
