    I’m going a little crazy today. Because of the rain, I didn’t leave the property yesterday.   Today, the cold front is passing by.   There’s still a chance of rain, but I’m going to head out here in a little bit.  I just can’t help it. I need a project to work on. Writing, what I… Read more

    Got the first quote for a new roof. I think it sounds great. They’re going to add ventilation to the roof so the heater (northern term) or air handler) to you southerners) will get some air so it won’t sweat so much. In this house, sweaty air handler = air conditioner doesn’t work. That could… Read more

  • Environmental hypocrites

    I’m just going to do some venting. I fully confess that I don’t know all of the facts and am just jumping to conclusions and connections without much research.   But, I think if someone really cares, it’s worth looking into. A lot of BS has been getting under my nails a little so, in no… Read more

  • Returning to Florida – yet again

    Next Sunday, November 10th, I will be returning to Florida yet again for three months.   Well, four months.   I won’t be back on home soil until the last day of March.  Instead, I’ll have sand underneath my feet that don’t grow vegetables. But, at the same time, I’m certainly dodging the snow and temperatures dropping… Read more

    The unexpected term from Hades ended yesterday. Thank goodness. I felt the students were trying to drain my very soul. There were just so many students at need.  By need, I mean “I’m special.”  “I can’t do this.” “I suck.” “Why can’t I do this my way.” Apparently, there was at least two pregnant, one… Read more

  • quick update

    Life has been a bit more crazy than usual for the past couple of months. There’s been a time where I’ve just wanted to curl up and not move for days, but I press on. Kid sister has moved to Avon.    That’s about an hour plus away. Her new and first, as far as… Read more

    …   I just want to say wow. My last post got hits from Australia, India, and the U.S. That is just awesome. You like me.   You really really like me. —  Cliche, yeah, but it helps bring some sort of validation to my life.   Thanks. Okay, moving on… I’ve had this mantra running through my… Read more

  • 9/4

    Well…   I’m really not too sure how to feel right now. This morning, little sister told me around 6am  (the time is worthy of note because she is – not – a morning person) that she going to move to a place that’s just a little over an hour away. Her job offered her a… Read more

  • 9/3 – Cancer doc

    It’s amazing how I can label my entire day — a span of my life — by a thirty-minute appointment.  It’s really kind of pathetic, isn’t it? Well, I think it’s pathetic.  Time has to stop for me. But…. that’s one of the reasons why I strive for morning appointments.  The less brooding the better. … Read more

  • Inside an anorexic mind – part 1

    I’ve been out of the House for about three years now. I think it’s for three years.    It’s however long Jason has been employed at the Revenue. Despite the years, the fact that I’m self-consciously overweight, and am on medication, I don’t consider myself ‘cured.’  I probably never will — as evidenced by the… Read more
