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 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”
January 21, 2021 – Microfiber Cloths to Maid Service
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 15, 2021 – Awkward Family Photos
The anniversary of my oldest sister’s death was a couple of days ago, on the 13th of January. She died in a car accident at the age of 31. The whole thing just about finished off my mom. Her mother, my grandmother (and unhappy roommate) had died the year prior, and my mom was stillContinue reading “January 15, 2021 – Awkward Family Photos”
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”
