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…

Well, as the title suggests, I am back from my cruise. Actually I have been back for two long weeks. Also had my surgery last week. Well, almost 10 days ago. For those that haven’t been paying attention, it was a Radical Hysterectomy, including all the bits that make up a woman. Why? Endometrial Cancer.…

So second day on the big ass ship. Still seasick, just not as bad. Let me tell you that considering how much we paid for this trip, it absolutely suck to spend it trying not to throw up. Well, usually not quite that bad. Unless the swells are like 10+ feet tall. And they have…

Let’s start with sex, which, of course, is related to the other two, especially in today’s political climate.

Back to the deep dark plum hair issue. Hydrogen peroxide and water. An equal mix, left on hair for 15 minutes. Guaranteed to lighten your hair. Left it in for half an hour, and…. Nothing. Didn’t do a damn thing. Deep conditioned afterward anyway. So, I have given up. I still wash my hair with…

‘Officially ‘ started my dissertation- hello to no real life for at least a year. Mom’s birthday was yesterday. She would have been 91. She’s been gone since Thanksgiving 2020, and it has been 6+ years since I last saw her. Not my choice, my rotten siblings. Another story for another day. Yesterday was hard,…

It amazes me how fast time is moving now. It really seems like it was just a few days ago that it was New Years Eve, or the day we moved into our house (Which, for the record was Dec. 31st 2019). I mean, I have heard people say that time moves faster the older…

Ok, this is what is happening now, in real time. I haven’t said much about who I am now, or what I do. I just really haven’t addressed it. I know a while back that I mentioned (a few times) that I am a social worker. Obviously, I work with children (and some adults) with…

June 2012 Leaving the For.Profit So, I am getting ready to finally quit my job at the For.Profit. I simply can’t take any more of the hypocrisy. I don’t believe in what we do what we do or what we stand for any more. I can’t. When I started I thought that we were supposed…
