so this morning, I pulled out my clothes and put them on my bed, and put on my socks.

A moment later, I am looking at the pile of clothes, trying to find my socks, apparently totally forgetting I had them on.

Eventually, I looked down at my feet, and realized I was wearing them.

Sometimes, my brain worries me ...

Frankly, I have had trouble, and hurtfully so with seeing the point of view that the LGBT set has.

Just now, 11/1/2025 in the evening, I was watching the episode of itchy boots, on You tube where she is crawling down the beach in an effort to rescue seal with nets they had picked up in the Ocean. I forget which Ocean. ----Namibia----

Suddenly, looking at her face and the way she interacts with the men around her.

The way she interacts with men... She is absolutely attracted to men...

Now I have to face my own feelings at times...

RED IN THE FACE

I have been getting a little braver with each time I venture out as Leeanna. My angel Mike, gently encourages me , but doesn't push.
A few weeks back we went to visit several old churches. We were unlucky. On the first day all 3 were either shut of the road was closed.
The next day we went to visit Framlingham castle in Suffolk.

So, starting tomorrow and ending Thursday, Sharon is moving into her new place.

This is going to be the weirdest move I've been a part of, and I have been a part of plenty.

Because of the fact it will happen over two days.

Ah, well, once more into the breach, dear friends . . .

Had a tough day today, with both dysphoria and PTSD hitting on me.

hugs appreciated.

always seems to fall on Madeline!
Well it sometimes feels like that at any rate.

Yep, the diagnosis is in, the days of my malaise are numbered!

That's where i'm at!

to end September and welcome October!

Its not easy to own up to your own failures, but if this silly blog is going to mean anything, I have to be willing to talk about my screw-ups.

See, this month has been one of my worst for staying within a budget.

The only good news is I think I understand what happened.

I was in manic mode a lot this month, and as a result bought stuff to essentially self-medicate.

Now, normally, you'd associate self medication with being depressed, but my manic state doesn't just result in basically being high, it amps whatever I am feeling to the max and beyond.

Okay so to give anybody following me an update, Sharon found a place, and has a signed contract.

There is some legal stuff to get through, but baring something bad happening there, she will be able to move in at the end of October.

On a less interesting note, I dreamed I was the star of some TV movie.

I played a woman who inherits a large house, only to find out someone really doesn't want her there, and her dad's ghost is also hanging around.

Dont ask me what it means, folks. I have no idea . . .

Last night I dreamed I went back to college to finish my degree.

I lasted 1 class before realizing I had made a mistake and went to the office to withdraw.

Not a fun dream.

We made it back yesterday about 1 pm. We're both pooped and I did something to my left knee, but 10.5 hours sleep did a lot to restore me. :)

I posted Pete 74 on Patreon and Pete 73 right here on BC, please read them and comment, it really makes my day.

Speaking of which, comments on our books on Kindle and other platforms, comments there are like money in the bank. Each comment increases the visibility of the book on the platforms and good comments work double! :)

so a couple of days ago, someone left a bag of groceries on Sharon's doorstep.

She didn't want them, and we could find no info in the bag, so my mom and I took it.

It had about 150$ worth of staples like eggs, milk, and so on. So our normal grocery run was much cheaper.

I wish I could thank whoever left the bag, it really helped us out at a time when we are trying to keep Sharon and Sam afloat as well as ourselves.

Well, Melanie and I will be taking a few days off, but we will have our laptops with us, so you probably won't notice we're not at home. We expect to be back by midday on Wednesday, the 17th.

Have fun and be nice to one another,
Love and hugs.
Erin and Melanie

Yep, I'm now settled at my brothers gaff in Sheffield for a few days!

If you haven't read the Lord of the Rings, at the end of the book Frodo is left with wounds that just wont heal in Middle-Earth.

I know what that is like, because like him, I have been wounded, and sometimes, just when I think I have totally healed, those old scars remind me of losses I can never replace.

Don't worry, I wont head for the Undying Lands before my time, but on days like today it just a little harder to keep going.

Hugs and prayers appreciated.

I had a fantastic day yesterday, starting with a long booked appointment with my hair stylist. My stylist has been doing my hair for almost as long as I've been posting stories and is the salon manager - her booking diary gets very full so I book a month up front just to be certain. Oh, she has always written my appointments in the Ladies book.

She took a pic of me and, with my agreement, put it on the salon FB page.

The time is: 4:26 AM PDT 9/1/2025 I am in Portland, Oregon 97239

Having just been firmly rebuffed by Microsoft after they completely disabled MS Word. This finally pushed me to cautiously approach downloading LibreOffice. I think I did it and while fumbling around MAY have done so a few times.

Well kind of, the weather has broken at least.

After being on the patches for around 20 years, suddenly I have a rash at the site of application. It was painful enough that I do not plan to use them again. I do not know if the patches caused all this. They are marketed by MYLAN. com through the local VA.

I am not mobile enough to feel like goin up there to the Portland, Oregon VA to complain in person. Phone and email to them are a joke!

I'm thankful that they gave me average size breasts. :)

Ahabidah, Gwen Brown, or what ever.
