March 3 , 2021 – The Five Stages of Grief

As I sit in a place of acceptance today, I realize that I literally just went through the five stages of grief. In the last 5 days, I have experienced every stage. Denial. Been there. Anger. Done that. Bargaining. Yep. Depression. You better believe it. Acceptance. Uh-huh. You would think a special person or petContinue reading “March 3 , 2021 – The Five Stages of Grief”

March 2, 2021 – Why must life be so complicated?

Sorry, my friends, I am here to rant today because I simply don’t know what else to do. I feel like I’m about to crack. My husband is tired of me talking incessantly about the insurance snafus so I don’t want to burden him any more. Ordinarily, if I cannot make sense of things afterContinue reading “March 2, 2021 – Why must life be so complicated?”

March 1, 2021 – Dapper Dan

In previous posts, I’m 99% positive that I’ve mentioned nearly all of my brothers in great detail with the exception of Dapper Dan. I usually assign initials to my siblings so I don’t have to keep spelling out their names repeatedly but since I already used ‘DD’ for ‘Diabolical Debbie’, I guess I’ll have toContinue reading “March 1, 2021 – Dapper Dan”

February 28, 2021 – Seeing things from a new perspective.

I thought a great deal about what I wrote yesterday and how much the situation really riled me. I’ve lost two solid days allowing it to consume me, and for what??!! Yes, anytime I am ‘surprised’ by an unexpected bill, I get a little worked up. I hate to admit it, but that’s not theContinue reading “February 28, 2021 – Seeing things from a new perspective.”

February 27, 2021 – Insurance and Billing Blunders

I feel like an emotional basket case. Whether it’s due to the full moon or other matters, I cannot be certain. If I could help you understand what I mean by ’emotional basket case’, I would describe it as much like what Humpty-Dumpty experienced before he plummeted to the ground below and shattered into aContinue reading “February 27, 2021 – Insurance and Billing Blunders”

February 26, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part Two)

So where did I leave off? Oh, yes! I was talking about the ‘Big Blue Marble’ TV show that used to air on PBS in the 70s and 80s and how I wrote the show (when I was in middle school) and requested a pen pal. After I graduated high school, my mom took meContinue reading “February 26, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part Two)”

February 25, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part One)

If you were alive between the years of 1974 – 1983 and a fan of PBS, you might have come across the TV show ‘Big Blue Marble’. I was a big fan and watched it every week it was broadcast (with the exception of the 4 years we didn’t actually have a TV after myContinue reading “February 25, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part One)”

February 24, 2021 – Tales from a Thrift Shop.

If you’re ever bored one day and want to ‘liven things up’, take a drive over to your nearest thrift shop. Thrift shops serve as veritable dumping grounds for unwanted ‘stuff’. I go as a means of entertainment but I also go with the hope that I can find yet another interesting mug to addContinue reading “February 24, 2021 – Tales from a Thrift Shop.”

February 23, 2021 – All About Bacon

Humankind must have done something right for bacon to be introduced to our palates. To me, it’s as close to Heaven as one can get while alive (that’s if you disqualify chocolate). Bacon makes everything better. It turns a boring breakfast into a brilliant breakfast. It turns the best burger into the best ever burger.Continue reading “February 23, 2021 – All About Bacon”

February 22, 2021 – Budget Travel Tips

When I was a child, whenever my mom brought me along on a trip, we always stayed in the cheapest hotel or motel available. More often than not, that meant a Motel 6. If you want bare bones accommodations and possibly bed bugs, feel free to make a reservation at one of their 1400+ locationsContinue reading “February 22, 2021 – Budget Travel Tips”
