Mom's heaven

Heaven is looking a little bit different these days. The pearly gates are still there, but rather than gracefully swinging open wide to admit you, St. Peter will hand you a machete and you will need to hack your way through the thick blackberry vines to reach the latch and then squeeze through quickly before the vines snap the gates shut. The streets are indeed lined with gold, but there are odd cracks with lettuce growing out of them. The angels are looking a bit grubby as well.

Justifiable homicide of a computer

No one can tell me that my computer isn’t alive. I know it is, and I am going to kill it. Nobody will blame me. I’ve been patient. I’ve even been grateful. 

A warmish kind of pleasant romance if you like that sort of thing

I’m a lucky person. I love my husband (at least, most of the time) and he loves me (most of the time). So, one would think that February, with Valentines Day and all, would be a great time for us to celebrate each other. It isn’t. We try, but February always defeats us.
