It's been a rough and long week. I'm glad it's about over. But despite everything, we're all doing ok. Mike and I still have feline sentinels and haven't really been left alone all week. Rosie is constantly on my lap, and Newton marks Mike through the house. Darwin seems to be keeping watch over everything,… Continue reading We’re all doing ok

Goodbye, sweet one
I didn't have it in me to post on Monday. We woke up that morning and Watson was almost gone. We called the vet and went that morning to help him pass. It was heart wrenching. Only one of us could go into the vet (thanks, COVID), and Mike immediately told me to go -… Continue reading Goodbye, sweet one
Time to start thinking about the garden
Before I know it it's going to be time to start my seedlings for the garden this year. I started them way too early last year, so I'm shooting for maybe late February-early March to start them. But in the meantime I have to figure out what to plant. I've got a number of seeds… Continue reading Time to start thinking about the garden
Intuitive eating
So I mentioned that I'm trying this new thing - intuitive eating - rather than traditional dieting or even calorie counting. The first couple of days were rough - I ate everything in sight. I had been depriving myself of food and calories for so long that when I gave myself free reign to eat,… Continue reading Intuitive eating
The happenings in DC
I was going to let this pass without saying anything; my voice doesn't need to be added to the cacophony of others already out there. But I'm sitting here listening to my husband watch the coverage in the other room, and I just have to say that I'm sickened by what's happened. I remember seeing… Continue reading The happenings in DC
Apparently I might change my mind about having kids
When I was a young kid, I already knew that I didn't want kids. But I thought it was something that you had to do - grow up, get married, have kids. It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I realize that you really didn't have to have kids, and thus born my… Continue reading Apparently I might change my mind about having kids
Goals for 2021
About a month ago I posted about my goals for 2020 and how I fared. Not too badly. I definitely set myself up for failure on a few of them, and on others I sold myself short and was able to accomplish so much more. So now it's time for the 2021 set. I don't… Continue reading Goals for 2021
Happy Christmas!
Red Christmas Ornaments on Wood Background and defocused lights. Spruce Tree branch on the left and right. To all of those that celebrate, I hope that you have the happiest Christmas. I'm well aware of how hard that may be right now - COVID, shutdowns, job loss, don't get to see family, etc. This Christmas… Continue reading Happy Christmas!
Christmas has never been my favorite time of the year
When I was growing up, the house we lived in was always host to the whole extended family for Christmas. This meant that for at least the week, if not two weeks, everyone was constantly cleaning, baking, wrapping, decorating, and generally whatever-ing getting ready for the hoard of people that were going to descend on… Continue reading Christmas has never been my favorite time of the year
Better get that toilet paper and bread
Well, we're on the cusp of the first major snowfall of the year (arguably the first major snowstorm of the last two years as we're supposed to get more over the next 24 hours than we did in one shot last year), and work was CRAZY busy yesterday. I'm assuming it's going to be nuts… Continue reading Better get that toilet paper and bread
