I have a lot to be thankful for this year. My husband and family are at the top of my list. As are several of my friends. I am also thankful that our current medical issues are (mostly) behind us. We have a roof over our head, food to eat, and are adequately clothed. I

Bleah. It’s Monday. Mondays are always….. tiring. I have no idea why that is so now. I mean I have an odd work schedule. Sort of. Being a mom, I basically work 7 days a week, but officially I work for 6. Then there is my doctoral program, still. I am beginning to think I

So, it has been almost 2 months since I last posted. Yeah, I have been busy. But, still, I should keep posting. It helps when I am trying to process whatever is going on in my life. There always seems to be something. Right now it is my health insurance. I will be losing it

It is almost the end of October already. I can’t say that I will be sorry to leave this year behind us soon, but I can’t say that just changing the year on the calendar will make a difference. What a year it has been! Cancer diagnosis. Cruise! Cancer surgery. Car accident. Daughter and co.

My children are ridiculous! But I must say that this last thing has left me speechless. One of my kids decided that since the other didn’t unload the dishwasher immediately when told to, he was ‘weaponizing incompetence’. Seriously? Who talks like that? My kids, that’s who.

Is still a long fucking paper. There are five chapters in a standard dissertation. One: The introduction. Easy peasy. Finished it in less than 8 weeks. Two: The literature review- 30-60 pages, including at least 50 references. Not easy. I try to be very concise with my word choice. You know, not using several words

I have bunches and boxes of old family photos. The problem is that not all of them are labeled on the back, and I have no idea who they are or when they were taken. What do I do with them? I feel guilty even thinking about throwing them away, but I have no one

JAWS has returned to the theaters for its 50th anniversary. I still remember when it first came out. I, however, have never seen it. I was too young to see it when it originally came out, and I love the water too much to have seen it since. It’s at our local theater, which is

It’s been four months since the accident. Some things are better, some are the same, and time still marches on. The truck was totaled. Well, there was $18,000 worth of damage done to it, enough that the insurance said she was toast. Bye, Denver. You were an excellent truck, and my husband loved you dearly.
Shhh.... I have a secret
