Has anyone ever confused you with somebody else? Let me explain. That was a tad vague. Has someone ever looked at you (that was not experiencing psychosis or hallucinations) and was so convinced that you were someone else, that they were willing to bet money on it? When you think about it, with a worldContinue reading “December 21, 2020 – Doppelganger”

December 20, 2020 – The mystery of J. Denaro.
Have you ever come across a piece of art with an unknown signature? I am sure you have. You can walk into practically any thrift store and there are usually countless paintings available for purchase, signed by countless ‘unknowns’. When my oldest sister passed away over three decades ago, she had in her possession nearlyContinue reading “December 20, 2020 – The mystery of J. Denaro.”
December 18, 2020 – Getting Things Done
Today began as it usually does. I got out of bed, used the ‘facilities’, washed my face, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, threw on a robe, and headed downstairs. Breakfast was the first item on the agenda. After I prepared it and placed it on the kitchen table, I took a seat and beganContinue reading “December 18, 2020 – Getting Things Done”
December 17, 2020 – Why don’t they like me?
When I awoke this morning, I immediately started to think about one of my neighbors. Instead of how I wanted to spend my day or what to cook for breakfast or if I needed to run to the store for last minute Christmas shopping, my thoughts immediately honed in on the crusty guy who lives on the adjoining property. Think that’s a bit strange? I do, too. Why would I think about that guy? He’s really the last person on earth that I’d like to spend any time thinking about. Who is he, anyway? He’s a guy that shares a fence with us. What’s his name? No idea. Why am I wasting precious brain cells thinking about him first thing in the morning? He doesn’t like me. How do I know this? Every single time I walk my dog past his home and he’s standing outside, he stares at me and scowls. That’s his response if I walk by and wave or walk by and say ‘hello’ or walk by and smile. He looks at me with utter disgust. I just don’t understand it. What did I do? I must have done something to elicit that kind of response. People you don’t even know cannot simply dislike you for no reason whatsoever, can they?
December 16, 2020 – Things People Recommend
Need to get a solid night’s sleep for once? Would you like my recommendation? Two capsules of Melatonin, my friends. Two capsules and you’ll sleep like a spanked baby! Yes! I finally slept for a decent amount of time, 9 hours to be precise. It was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!! I’ve got a little more pep in myContinue reading “December 16, 2020 – Things People Recommend”
December 8, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART TWO).
Hello again! Back for more? You must be a glutton for punishment!! Anyway, where did I leave off? I think I was almost to the part where I was going to ask everyone to join hands and sing “Kumbaya” but I didn’t quite make it. No, I would never ask you to do that. That’sContinue reading “December 8, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART TWO).”
December 6, 2020 – Struggling with low self-esteem.
My husband looked at me quizzically the other day and gently asked, “What’s with all of the ‘dumb’ and ‘stupid’?” I hadn’t realized I was using those words so frequently but apparently I had. Usually I keep them locked away in my brain and they tumble around like rocks in a clothes dryer but IContinue reading “December 6, 2020 – Struggling with low self-esteem.”
December 5, 2020 – The advantages to growing up ‘poor’.
I’ve talked a bit about growing up ‘poor’ and how that experience left me with a certain ‘mindset’. I have a hard time trusting ‘good fortune’ when it knocks at my door because it seems to have such a short lifespan. And growing up ‘poor’ has also made me think a great deal about theContinue reading “December 5, 2020 – The advantages to growing up ‘poor’.”
December 4, 2020 – Cherry season is the ‘pits’!
There’s a part of me that’s actually grateful I was laid off because there were certain aspects to the job that I had that were particularly unappetizing. I worked in a facility that provided activities for seniors. They had exercise programs and games as well as knitting and crafts and such. They also served lunchContinue reading “December 4, 2020 – Cherry season is the ‘pits’!”
December 3, 2020 – Rebel Without a Cause
I got yelled at today. I hate getting yelled at. It makes me feel like a child. But I brought it on myself. I insisted on walking down a trail with my dog even though it said the trail was closed. It actually said ‘Road Closed’ but that’s beside the point. I saw the signContinue reading “December 3, 2020 – Rebel Without a Cause”
