During the final days at the House, Kadie (or is it Katie?) pulled me in for an exit interview. She wanted to know how I felt the programming, staff, and activities where helpful – what I thought was so ‘great’ about the House. Really, it was just a self-serving BS interview. One of those “tell me what Read more

Phone conversations are not my favorite. Texting, writing, e-mails – sure. I can write thoughts and feelings down, edit for clarity, and feel completely embarrassed that there are words I still cannot spell – but Spell Check can. Speaking is an uncouth cousin by comparison. Once a word is said, it’s cannot be undone. It Read more

Yesterday, which was some 2.5 hours ago, was really kind of difficult… but it started surprising well. I had three (yes three) doctor appointments. I did it this way intentionally – best to knock how several in a single day then spread it out over a week. I simply detest having one — appointment per Read more

Some fruit of my not-so-polite college inquiries has yielded fruit. I will be an online .. still adunct of course… of a Comp II course. Positives: – Money – Something to do – Keeps the resume free of half a year work absences – I don’t have to drive in the snow, since it’s an online Read more

It’s actually raining right now – 2:48am (of course). The window is open. The wetted fresh air is just every so barely moving the curtain- which is a good thing. If it being rambunctious, I’d have to close the window to save the laptop. I also like the quote – thought it was fitting. I’ve Read more

I would have never picked “Here comes the sun” from the 1969 Beatles album – which is what played during my roughly three week old House commencement. Trina, my illness absent primary therapist, chose it for me. Kadie had to guide the ceremony – but there really wasn’t any need to – the elder clients were well-skilled Read more

According to the sign – I hope it’s readable. It was when I took the picture. – a Village Ordinary was a place for horse-n-buggy travelers to find a fixed price bed and meal. They were located at a convenient 15 mile intervals (remember, we’re talking Mr. Ed as the main means to move), provided Read more

If you’re around me long enough, you’ll figure out that I pin a lot of stuff on culture – particularly how men and women are treated, raised, and referred to. I know society isn’t to blame for all of our ills, it is a significant contributing factor that’s slow to change. Let’s start with some Read more

Of course, Ed probably will never just walk into a bar. He’s (She? Why be sexist?) is invited, welcomed, and is probably considered a relief. It’s something that, theoretically, understands, supports, and is always present. Still, just like a bad boyfriend or girlfriend, Ed is patient, controlling, and selfish. The disease likes to prey on Read more

I’ve learned something today – Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte is not my cup of latte. Nor, to add salted caramel to the wound, Salted Caramel is not my cup of frappuccino either. I’m highly disappointed. At the House, Starbucks seems to be a ruling favorite. It was an extra special treat that was coveted by Read more
