Today hasn’t been terribly productive. I didn’t do much aside from run to Wal-Mart for a grocery pickup and grab a pizza at Papa Murphy’s for dinner. Once I got home, I started cleaning all the glass and windows throughout the house. I did a bunch of research over the internet a few days agoContinue reading “January 21, 2021 – Microfiber Cloths to Maid Service”

January 17, 2021 – The gift that keeps on giving.
I woke up this morning anxiety-free. It was delightful! Do you know how rare that is?! And once I got out of bed (calm and at peace) and got cleaned up and dressed, I padded down the stairs and made my way to the kitchen, whereby I commenced preparing breakfast. It was the usual, scrambledContinue reading “January 17, 2021 – The gift that keeps on giving.”
January 16, 2021 – A party to end all parties!
There is nothing quite like a surprise party to really make an individual feel really special on his or her birthday. My husband threw one for me nearly 4 years ago, when I turned 50, and it was a showstopper. If you ever watch ‘The Great British Baking Show’, you’ll understand what I’m talking about.Continue reading “January 16, 2021 – A party to end all parties!”
January 13, 2021 – Goldilocks
Looks like today is going to be ‘all about Mom’. I spoke to her briefly this afternoon. She wasn’t happy but that’s nothing new. When I asked her what she’d been up to, she said, “Nothing much.” It’s hard to know what to say to her because she’s determined to be unhappy. She never wantedContinue reading “January 13, 2021 – Goldilocks”
January 11, 2021 – A Scot in the midst!
Genealogy? Not interested. We’re all basically mutts. That’s how I used to feel. But recently, I became a bit curious about it after my daughter decided to dip her big toe in the genealogy pool and got back some interesting results. What did she find out? In addition to discovering that she has a veryContinue reading “January 11, 2021 – A Scot in the midst!”
January 8, 2021 – Time to heal.
After a 2-month hiatus (waiting for my insurance matters to get worked out), I was finally able to meet with my therapist. It was a good session, but it left me with as many questions as answers. I was really candid with her about wanting to ‘throw in the towel’ last week. I told herContinue reading “January 8, 2021 – Time to heal.”
January 6, 2021 – Clothing Optional
Anytime I see a sign that says ‘clothing optional’, count me out. I like my clothes. They keep me warm and they cover a multitude of ‘sins’. I don’t want to go anywhere if I have to look at other people’s ‘parts’. Especially, if they’re jiggling about. What can I say? Nudity or nakedness makesContinue reading “January 6, 2021 – Clothing Optional”
January 5, 2021 – Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.
Hope is a funny thing. It can come rushing towards you, lift you up and carry you around as if you were weightless (kind of like what happens during a football game when a player scores a winning touchdown with only 2 seconds left on the clock and his teammates lift him up onto theirContinue reading “January 5, 2021 – Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.”
January 2, 2021 – Honesty is the ‘best’ policy.
Today blew (and not like the wind). I honestly didn’t think anything could top yesterday, but no! I was mistaken. Waking up with dread and knots in my stomach is not a good way to start the day, but that’s how it’s been for at least the last week to week-and-a-half. And what have IContinue reading “January 2, 2021 – Honesty is the ‘best’ policy.”
January 1, 2021 – New Beginnings and New Endings
Is it just me or does it seem to you (the rest of you that take ‘happy pills’ to get through each day) that you took a placebo instead of the real thing? I could swear someone switched mine out! It sure doesn’t feel like it’s working. I don’t know, despite the new year andContinue reading “January 1, 2021 – New Beginnings and New Endings”
