What is it about the number three? Nearly every night/morning, before I’m able to completely relax, close my eyes, and go to sleep, I gaze over at the digital clock on my nightstand, dismayed to see the number ‘three’ once again staring back at me. “Again?!” I think to myself. Why not 12 or 1Continue reading “May 25, 2021 – The Number Three”

May 23, 2021 – Self Improvement
If I’m being totally honest, I’d much rather discuss home improvement. That’s one topic I feel pretty confident about. Need to know how to lay tile? Check! What’s the best wood to use for fencing? Check! Is natural gas preferable for heating, or is electricity better? Check! Are solar panels worth the investment? Check! WhichContinue reading “May 23, 2021 – Self Improvement”
May 21, 2021 – Unclean Hands
Before I begin, I wanted to share that I received my 3rd Covid-19 vaccination yesterday. Yes, you read that right. It’s my third time around the block. I’ve been staying up on the research for immunosuppressed individuals (such as myself) and how many are achieving the desired results (antibodies) after receiving an additional dose/vaccine byContinue reading “May 21, 2021 – Unclean Hands”
May 19, 2021 – At a Crossroads
As my mother often says (or used to say before dementia entered the picture), “I don’t know up from sic ’em.” Seriously. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going these days. It isn’t just me, however. My husband seems to be suffering from the same affliction. We had a long heart-to-heart this evening aboutContinue reading “May 19, 2021 – At a Crossroads”
May 17, 2021 – Trouble in Paradise
What is it about beautiful places that brings out the worst in people? More times than I’d care to admit to, I’ve witnessed people coming unglued and acting like animals while spending time in exotic locations (or places intended for rest and relaxation). Sometimes couples leave for destinations like Mexico or the Bahamas and onlyContinue reading “May 17, 2021 – Trouble in Paradise”
May 15, 2021 – Revenge is a dish best served cold.
When I was around the age of 10, I got an opportunity to ride on a horse for the first time in my life. We lived in a residential neighborhood but the covenants and/or the city allowed people to keep a horse (or two) on their property. My family didn’t have the means to ownContinue reading “May 15, 2021 – Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
May 13, 2021 – Being Human
Have any of you been watching the most recent season of American Idol? Spoiler alert, I just found out that Caleb Kennedy left the show. Caleb is 16 years old and hails from a small town in South Carolina. Just a few days ago, he was voted into the Top 5. I asked my husbandContinue reading “May 13, 2021 – Being Human”
May 11, 2021 – When it sounds too good to be true.
My poor husband. Last week, I was the one in turmoil. This week, it’s his turn. As part of his routine, he gets on the computer and checks Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and the local classifieds (on average) 2-6 times each and every day. He is on the search for the ‘perfect boat’. Immediately after weContinue reading “May 11, 2021 – When it sounds too good to be true.”
May 7, 2021 – On the outside looking in.
I don’t know what it is about me but I feel like for the better part of my life, I’ve been ‘on the outside looking in’. It’s almost as if the world is a swimming pool filled with people (splashing about and laughing) and they’re all calling out to me, “Come on in, the water’sContinue reading “May 7, 2021 – On the outside looking in.”
May 5, 2021 – Travel Planning for Dummies
Just to see the shocked expression on your face, I am tempted to show you a screenshot of my email inbox. Seriously, there have to be dozens of emails relating to reservations (made, modified, and cancelled). I think I’ve got a screw loose! I have never vacillated this much between dates and whether to flyContinue reading “May 5, 2021 – Travel Planning for Dummies”
