Has anyone ever confused you with somebody else? Let me explain. That was a tad vague. Has someone ever looked at you (that was not experiencing psychosis or hallucinations) and was so convinced that you were someone else, that they were willing to bet money on it? When you think about it, with a worldContinue reading “December 21, 2020 – Doppelganger”

December 20, 2020 – The mystery of J. Denaro.
Have you ever come across a piece of art with an unknown signature? I am sure you have. You can walk into practically any thrift store and there are usually countless paintings available for purchase, signed by countless ‘unknowns’. When my oldest sister passed away over three decades ago, she had in her possession nearlyContinue reading “December 20, 2020 – The mystery of J. Denaro.”
December 19, 2020 – Anything to save a buck.
I’m exhausted. Saving money takes hard work and today I had my work cut out for me. As promised, I put my grocery list together last night before I went to bed and I also went online and scheduled my grocery pickup(s). Sounds simple enough. But I think I can make anything complicated and IContinue reading “December 19, 2020 – Anything to save a buck.”
December 18, 2020 – Getting Things Done
Today began as it usually does. I got out of bed, used the ‘facilities’, washed my face, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, threw on a robe, and headed downstairs. Breakfast was the first item on the agenda. After I prepared it and placed it on the kitchen table, I took a seat and beganContinue reading “December 18, 2020 – Getting Things Done”
December 17, 2020 – Why don’t they like me?
When I awoke this morning, I immediately started to think about one of my neighbors. Instead of how I wanted to spend my day or what to cook for breakfast or if I needed to run to the store for last minute Christmas shopping, my thoughts immediately honed in on the crusty guy who lives on the adjoining property. Think that’s a bit strange? I do, too. Why would I think about that guy? He’s really the last person on earth that I’d like to spend any time thinking about. Who is he, anyway? He’s a guy that shares a fence with us. What’s his name? No idea. Why am I wasting precious brain cells thinking about him first thing in the morning? He doesn’t like me. How do I know this? Every single time I walk my dog past his home and he’s standing outside, he stares at me and scowls. That’s his response if I walk by and wave or walk by and say ‘hello’ or walk by and smile. He looks at me with utter disgust. I just don’t understand it. What did I do? I must have done something to elicit that kind of response. People you don’t even know cannot simply dislike you for no reason whatsoever, can they?
December 16, 2020 – Things People Recommend
Need to get a solid night’s sleep for once? Would you like my recommendation? Two capsules of Melatonin, my friends. Two capsules and you’ll sleep like a spanked baby! Yes! I finally slept for a decent amount of time, 9 hours to be precise. It was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!! I’ve got a little more pep in myContinue reading “December 16, 2020 – Things People Recommend”
December 15, 2020 – Bah Humbug to Binge Eating
I am going to apologize in advance because on top of being sleep deprived, I’m feeling tense, agitated, frustrated and a little angry. And I don’t intend to take it out on you, but just in case I do unintentionally, I’m sorry. It’s nothing personal. It’s just something that happens to me every year. MyContinue reading “December 15, 2020 – Bah Humbug to Binge Eating”
December 14, 2020 – Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails.
When my youngest son was in middle school, one of his teachers took him (and his fellow classmates) on a field trip to see a nearby exhibit of native species to the region. It had lizards and snakes and all kinds of ‘critters’ that could be found in that part of the world. When myContinue reading “December 14, 2020 – Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails.”
December 13, 2020 – Does your life resemble a sit-com?
Before I begin, I just have to ask. Have you ever heard of the term, ‘famous last words’? When I signed off yesterday, I made a declaration, “And sleep I shall!” Ha! I should have said, “And sleep I shan’t”. As much as I wanted to sleep, as much as I needed to sleep, sleepContinue reading “December 13, 2020 – Does your life resemble a sit-com?”
December 12, 2020 – The power of suggestion.
I just have to tell you what a relief it is to move off of the topic of ‘trying to save the world’. Even though I am tempted to resurrect it again another day, it was becoming a heavy burden to bear and I recognized it was time to head over to greener pastures. EveryContinue reading “December 12, 2020 – The power of suggestion.”
