Just when life starts to make sense, it throws me for a loop. The latest predicament I find myself in is my own fault though. A couple of weeks ago, I thought my unemployment was ending and then I realized that it wasn’t necessarily ending, the rules were simply changing. For the last sixteen months,Continue reading “July 16, 2021 – Predicament”

July 14, 2021 – Evolution
It seems like life is ever-changing. People and what they stand for can drastically change in a matter of days or weeks or months or years. This appears to be the case now more than ever. Even I find that I’m constantly changing; whether it’s for the better or the worse, I cannot be certain.Continue reading “July 14, 2021 – Evolution”
July 12, 2021 – The events of the day.
After sitting down in front of my computer for the last 30 minutes, I still haven’t figured out what I want to talk about. Today was filled with so many activities and I have yet to whittle them down to just one. The only expectation I had for this afternoon was an open house andContinue reading “July 12, 2021 – The events of the day.”
July 10, 2021 – In a funk.
I’ll be honest, I don’t feel much like writing today. If I had my druthers, I’d rather post a picture. But I cannot do that because when I initially started this blog, I made a promise to write every day for a year, a promise I’ve already managed to break. I then made a modifiedContinue reading “July 10, 2021 – In a funk.”
July 8, 2021 – Everything happens for a reason.
It is funny what people say in an attempt to provide comfort or reassurance. There are certain ‘favorites’ that I’ve heard more than a time or two, “I’ll pray for you”, “This too shall pass,” “It’ll all work out in the end,” “Don’t sweat the small stuff,” and then there’s my all-time favorite, “Everything happensContinue reading “July 8, 2021 – Everything happens for a reason.”
July 6, 2021 – Keeping up Appearances
An old British TV show came to mind today when I was sprucing up the front yard. My realtor requested ‘more color’, so my husband built a planter box from some old scrap cedar and rebar, and I filled it with a bunch of clearance plants that I purchased at Lowe’s (see photo). The purposeContinue reading “July 6, 2021 – Keeping up Appearances”
July 4, 2021 – Uncertainty
What an unusual week it’s been! Between the historic heatwave in the Northwest, the tragic condo collapse in Miami, the fire in the Gulf of Mexico, and numerous other newsworthy events, I am beginning to wonder if a state of ‘normal’ will ever return. Where we live, I’ve never experienced ongoing hot weather like I’mContinue reading “July 4, 2021 – Uncertainty”
July 2, 2021 – Wishy washy.
Our realtor is going to kill us! My husband and I have been going back-and-forth about whether or not to sell our house. Yesterday, he told me to pull the listing. “Why don’t we give it a month and then if it doesn’t sell, we can pull it,” I suggested, “It’s only been six days.”Continue reading “July 2, 2021 – Wishy washy.”
June 30, 2021 – The not-so-little black stove.
I have a story to tell about a ‘not-so-little black stove’ that has resided in our home nearly as long as we have. This is not a tall tale, to be sure; however, it’s a rather long tale, as that stove has been in our lives for nearly 7 years without ever reaching its fullContinue reading “June 30, 2021 – The not-so-little black stove.”
June 28, 2021 – Reasonable Doubt
Boy, I’m not sure what’s going on with my husband but his enthusiasm to move seems to be waning rapidly. We were so gung ho at first, running around like maniacs, trying to complete a bunch of stalled projects from the past several years. And now that nearly everything is done, we are sitting inContinue reading “June 28, 2021 – Reasonable Doubt”
