Ooh! Zazzle is having another half-price sale on greeting cards.

I woke up today at 4:30 p.m. — after an 11-hour nap! — shrieking for Sam to bring me a cane even though I haven’t been able to stand up since May 2018. That’s mighty damn weird, right?

Eventually I calmed down long enough for a wonderful bath (thank you, Sam), a couple of good movies and a bag of sugar-free gummi bears. We saw Dodge City (1939) starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, and Beg, Borrow or Steal (1937) starring Florence Rice, John Beal and Frank Morgan.



My number one health issue right now is LOW BLOOD PRESSURE. It’s actually been low since my last “decline” a week or so ago, and for the last few days it’s been very low. For instance: 90/56. We have our own blood pressure cuff, so it’s easy for Sam to check my blood pressure two or three times a day to see what’s going on.

Another issue we’re monitoring is my APPETITE. Following my most recent “decline” (with all the churning stomach acid and vomiting; see post) I honestly never thought I’d eat again … but of course, I was wrong. I started eating again right away. Unfortunately, my TASTE BUDS took another direct hit! Food doesn’t taste the same any more and some old favorites actually taste horrible now. However I’m pleased to report that I still love China City’s Hot and Sour Soup, and their Steamed Meat Dumplings are awfully damn good, too … even when I drown them in hot chili paste! Sam brings home both for me at least once a week.



I’ve got a teeny herd of free fonts for you right now … only five, to be exact! (“Chrono” and “Sphere” share the same download file.) You’ll find download links below the font list. Enjoy!




Hey, boys and girls, I just found out that Zazzle is having another half-price sale on greeting cards (in fact, all holiday cards, too) ending tonight at midnight Pacific time … and you can still receive your order in time for the holidays! Here are four more cute cards from The Howdygram Store’s Christmas collection.


Incidentally, The Howdygram Store also sells Hanukkah cards, birthday cards, get-well cards and cards for every imaginable holiday throughout the year, such as Passover, Easter, Valentine’s Day and so on. All of these are on sale right now at 50% off, so consider this a perfect opportunity to load up on cards for an entire year. Thank you very much.



It’s 6:45 p.m., and it just occurred to me that I haven’t eaten anything today. Nothing whatsoever! I think I’ll take a peek at my current “food inventory” — a running list of everything in the fridge, freezer and pantry — so I’ll know what to request. Right now it’s a three-way tie between Hormel Tamales (in a can), Yakisoba Beef Teriyaki Noodles and a Banquet Chicken Pot Pie. I think the tamales are winning,

Thank you for reading this. Raise your hand if you plan to remember the Alamo tonight, okay?
