Another funeral

Well, my sister’s mother-in-law died.
The funeral is Saturday.
I’m glad it wasn’t a lingering death, but my mom is torqued. Another death. She doesn’t look at deaths as inevitabilities but as personally affective events. Very F.
So, I managed to piss her off with some other unrelated comment. My forte–being a callous INTP. Oh well.

Stubs

I have seven stubs of posts waiting to be completed or written.
One entry has been in the wings since late September/early October.
In a few weeks, I expect to have time to get these finished and published.

Thursday, I cleaned out all the old accounts from my IM lists.
I […]

I’d like to continue my comparison of INTP and Enneagram 5. Although a preference for INTP does not necessarily mean a preference for Enneagram 5, I think this is a case of exception proving the rule.
The previous excerpts from Thompson are followed by:
INTPs who make a deliberate attempt to apply Extraverted Intuition to themselves feel […]

Roses close-up

I’ve not been keeping up with the Year in Pix.
The latest images are close-ups of roses during a brief break in rain.

Winter cold and audio mirror

I realized that I was starting to cough the other day. It’s my usual winter cough, so customary that I don’t have any awareness of it.
So what clued me in? The bird was mimicking me.

Gosh she’s good. She has the whole wheezing, hacking winter asthma cough down. She nailed it her first time through our […]
