I keep getting locked out of my blog! I have no idea how, and it took me two weeks this time to get back in. But I finally (obviously) did. It is the beginning of June. Already. Where did the rest of the year go? To fast. I feel like I am not getting anything…

So, it is after midnight here, which means I am officially 60 years old. I don’t feel like I am 60, mostly. My brain is pretty sure I am 30, but my body feels significantly older. But right now, I am thinking about my mom. It has been happening a lot lately. After my first…

TRIGGER WARNING: Straight talk about a dog attack and the aftermath We had a major loss a few days ago. The title pretty much says it. My daughter and my daughter-in-law were walking their two little dogs. I say little because they were both chihuahuas. One weighs about 7lbs an the other right at 4lbs.…

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…

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…

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.…

So, Friday the 16th of May, I had finally found the sideboard/buffet I wanted to replace the island in my kitchen that I frankly HATE. I had found one at our local Restore store. My elder son and I had found it a few days before, did the measuring thing, and then I had to…

So, my doctor told me that the test came back ‘good’. What does that mean exactly? Well, despite the fact that I had 38% of my uterus showing signs of cancer (which I am told is better than 50%, which is where I roll my eyes and think really?) there was no sign that it…
Shhh.... I have a secret
