Life in the Dyke Lane: June 2015
http://lifeinthedykelane.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Life in the Dyke Lane. Taking batshit to a whole new level of crazy. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. I had to take my parents to the SSI office a while back. They have reached a stage of life that requires a lot more attention from me and I think I’m handling it well. At least I thought I was, until that day. We got to the SSI office at a decent time and the waiting room was mostly empty. The friendly security guard smiled as he asked for my purse. “Any knives or weapons? 8221; he asked. He shook his head. &...

Life in the Dyke Lane. Taking batshit to a whole new level of crazy. Monday, August 10, 2015. Adrift, Anxiously Agonizing. It’s been a difficult weekend. Nothing quite like getting disturbing news on a Friday afternoon, right before the close of business so you get to sweat and agonize for an entire weekend, and Monday morning as well before anyone can get through mandatory meetings to sift email and answer questions. Seriously, that platitude of “if it was meant to be, it will be” is a one-w...Then the ...

Life in the Dyke Lane. Taking batshit to a whole new level of crazy. Saturday, March 14, 2015. Just Getting (It) Out. After some debate with myself over a sinkful of dishes, I decided to write this post and let the chips fall where they may. I will accept the consequences of my actions. There have been several posts on facebook throughout the years where folks put on their high-and-mighty panties and stomp about, waving Old Glory and shouting things like, “If you love. Has been trashed with McMansions, m...

Life in the Dyke Lane: February 2016

Life in the Dyke Lane. Taking batshit to a whole new level of crazy. Sunday, February 21, 2016. 8220;Make some tuna salad for your folks’ lunch today.” Tam said as she got ready for work. I wanted to yell, “NO! 8221; but I refrained from doing so. It was such a small thing, and well, with no electric can opener, I thought I might actually have a chance to survive the task. I sighed. “Ok.”. 8221; went the can opener and the tuna can. 8221; said Frey Fishwhore. “Gimme fish! This is people food.”. I HISS AT...

Life in the Dyke Lane: Lemonade Stand
http://lifeinthedykelane.blogspot.com/2015/11/lemonade-stand.html
Life in the Dyke Lane. Taking batshit to a whole new level of crazy. Thursday, November 26, 2015. I’m trying to make lemonade. I’m doing a pretty good job of it, but I will admit I’m a little tired from the effort. I’d try to sell you a glass, but it’s not that kind of lemonade. It’s the kind you make when life hands you lemons…. Sunday night, he was in so much pain, my mother woke Tam at 2:30 and said, “Pop needs to go to the hospital.”. Fast forward to the ER doctor saying they need to transport him to.

Life in the Dyke Lane: Taking a Look Around
http://lifeinthedykelane.blogspot.com/2015/11/taking-look-around.html
Life in the Dyke Lane. Taking batshit to a whole new level of crazy. Friday, November 20, 2015. Taking a Look Around. The manuscript is coming along. Editing is taking a great deal of time, since I’m trying to be more careful and not let some of those “brain bumps” slide by. It takes a lot more effort and energy on my part, but I’m pretty sure the final outcome will be worth it. But these are problems only those with plenty can claim. Life wasn’t perfect, but it was good. It still is. Selma In The City.

Life in the Dyke Lane: All I Wanted Was Today

Life in the Dyke Lane. Taking batshit to a whole new level of crazy. Saturday, September 26, 2015. All I Wanted Was Today. I suppose I could say today was a dream come true. Ever since Tam and I bought the hat shop, I’ve thought about what it would be like to have my parents visit. Of course, the “visit” part changed when I realized they could no longer live on their own and we ended up moving them here. That’s when it became more nightmare than anything else. But back to the dream part…. Then we headed ...

Life in the Dyke Lane. Taking batshit to a whole new level of crazy. Sunday, October 11, 2015. I don’t know why I made the deal with my parents. At the time, it was the only thing I could think of that would appease their sense of upheaval, and quell their desire to run away, to head back to the place they’ve known for over 20 years. I had to promise we’d go back to get more of their “stuff.”. Of stuff to sift through. Had the house deal closed when it was supposed to, instead of six weeks later, there w...
