How would we humans function if we didn’t have expectations? It seems the moment we take our first breath, we at least have a few. There may not be many but on the most basic level, I think we all expect to at least be fed and nurtured. And as we grow, the list ofContinue reading “February 3, 2021 – Expectations”

February 2, 2021 – Potluck Wedding
I’m going to take a stroll down memory lane today and share a bit about my wedding. It took place on a warm summer’s day in June (34 years ago) and came together on a shoestring budget. Many brides-to-be spare no expense for the big day but I’m a practical gal, so whenever there wasContinue reading “February 2, 2021 – Potluck Wedding”
February 1, 2021 – Scapegoat
Throw me under the bus, I don’t care. I’ve been blamed enough for stuff that I didn’t do throughout my life that when it happens now, I barely bat an eyelash. Now, that’s not to say I haven’t had a role in getting myself into predicaments (because of my big mouth) or that I haven’tContinue reading “February 1, 2021 – Scapegoat”
January 31, 2021 – The Middle Finger
I don’t know about you, but I’m about as comfortable using the middle finger as I am saying aloud the expression that it represents. You might find me using hand gestures, but they’re more along the lines of rabbit ears (when posing in a photo), the peace sign, making a circular motion next to myContinue reading “January 31, 2021 – The Middle Finger”
January 30, 2021 – Progress Report
Before I begin, I just have to ask a simple question. Did anyone else read the recent news report about China testing for Covid-19 using anal swabs? I actually read the article yesterday and then once I got done, I had to read it again. I was sure my eyes were playing tricks on me.Continue reading “January 30, 2021 – Progress Report”
January 29, 2021 – Bad Patient Syndrome
I hate to say it, but I’m a lousy patient. I’ve been in the hospital enough times to readily admit it. I just don’t like people poking around more than necessary or making promises they cannot keep. Whenever I’m admitted to the hospital, especially once a nurse has inserted an IV catheter into my armContinue reading “January 29, 2021 – Bad Patient Syndrome”
January 28, 2021 – Bladder Control
It’s no coincidence that there are so many advertisements for adult pads and diapers on TV and in magazines and pop-up ads on the computer. It seems to be one of the ‘joys’ of being female. We start out life ‘wetting ourselves’ and the closer we get to the end, we do more of theContinue reading “January 28, 2021 – Bladder Control”
January 26, 2021 – Learning from our mistakes.
The fact of the matter is that we all make mistakes. Even me; especially me. We wouldn’t be human if we didn’t make them. I have an ‘eye’ for catching mistakes, whether that’s a curse or a gift, I’m not sure. And in this instance, I’m referring to spelling errors or when people add apostrophesContinue reading “January 26, 2021 – Learning from our mistakes.”
January 24, 2021 – The Good Old Days
I have decided to take a break from talking about emotions and feelings and spend a little time talking about what ‘once was’, in other words, ‘the good old days’. In order to do so, I’m going to venture back in time, not as far back as when humans still hadn’t yet discovered the miracleContinue reading “January 24, 2021 – The Good Old Days”
January 22, 2021 – Change of Plans
I woke up this morning with every intention of packing my suitcase and heading over the pass to spend some time with my brother and mom and possibly my daughter. I was up half the night, fretting over all a ‘quick visit’ entails (because it’s a lot). I’m no longer a twenty year old thatContinue reading “January 22, 2021 – Change of Plans”
