I have really struggled with what to write about today. I’ve been feeling really down which frustrates me to no end. Sometimes, despite the medicine and exercise and eating right, my arch nemesis ‘depression’ returns on occasion. And fortunately today, even though I’ve managed to fall into the well, I was able to grab ontoContinue reading “December 1, 2020 – Life Themes (Depression)”

November 30, 2020 – Matters of Convenience
I just returned from Wal-Mart. It’s not a store I enjoy spending a lot of time in. It is massive and it’s easy to get swallowed up in the place. If you go, you can expect to spend a fair amount of time retrieving the items on your list. Would you like a gallon ofContinue reading “November 30, 2020 – Matters of Convenience”
November 29, 2020 – Facing the Consequences
My mom is a big fan of all-things-holiday and other celebratory events. She used to host all of the traditional family meals, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas. In addition, she never failed to bake a pie or a cake for each of her children on their birthdays, along with treating them to a meal at the restaurantContinue reading “November 29, 2020 – Facing the Consequences”
November 28, 2020 – Not such a ‘dead end’ after all (PART THREE).
Here we are again. Good to see you back! Sorry I’m taking so long to ‘wrap this up’ but I promise, I will finish today. There will be no part four. I promise! I pinky promised so now I have no choice in the matter. Where were we? That’s right! I had talked about theContinue reading “November 28, 2020 – Not such a ‘dead end’ after all (PART THREE).”
November 27, 2020 – Not such a ‘dead end’ after all (PART TWO).
Hello again! I’m back to finish off my story about all of the adventures we have living on a dead end street. Of course, things wouldn’t be quite as interesting if a canal wasn’t directly beside it, but that’s what gives the story that extra ‘kick’, that little nugget that changes the story from ‘meh’Continue reading “November 27, 2020 – Not such a ‘dead end’ after all (PART TWO).”
November 26, 2020 – Not such a ‘dead end’ after all (PART ONE).
We live on a ‘dead end’. It sounds like such a morbid term but all it really means is that there is no way out. Hang on. I don’t think that description was very helpful at all. That still leaves a lot to the imagination. I probably should clarify that we live on a ‘deadContinue reading “November 26, 2020 – Not such a ‘dead end’ after all (PART ONE).”
November 25, 2020 – Hip hip hooray, the hoarder’s moved away!
Have you ever lived near a hoarder? It seems like they’re everywhere. On just my block, there are at least three. Well, there were three until one miraculously moved away recently. I honestly never thought it would happen. I thought he’d outlast me easily. But I think he got tired of all the visits andContinue reading “November 25, 2020 – Hip hip hooray, the hoarder’s moved away!”
November 24, 2020 – Much ado about cold sores.
I woke up this morning to discover an ‘uninvited guest’ clinging firmly to my lower lip. I was pretty certain I knew what it was, my lip hurt a bit and was slightly bumpy, but the room was dark so I went into the bathroom to confirm my suspicions. After checking in the mirror, thereContinue reading “November 24, 2020 – Much ado about cold sores.”
November 23, 2020 – Hair Loss
In my wildest dreams, I never imagined I would be so fearful of doing something that most people do without a moment’s hesitation, washing my hair. Yet here I am, it’s been four days and I still haven’t done it. Why haven’t I washed my hair? It’s simple. I’m trying to hang onto whatever’s left.Continue reading “November 23, 2020 – Hair Loss”
November 22, 2020 – The pitfalls of being a perfectionist.
I wish I was someone that could just do something mediocre and be ok with it. But I wasn’t born that way. It doesn’t matter what the task, how large or how small, I have to work at it until I achieve perfection. My husband reminded me today that ‘I have a problem’, which IContinue reading “November 22, 2020 – The pitfalls of being a perfectionist.”
