    Back in Florida. This is my third whole day. Saturday was my first, which we ran around going places and to a park. On Sunday, we went to Wagon Wheel, visited the Awesome Jean, and went to another park. I’m going to go to a lot of parks while I’m here and I’m a-okay with Read more

    Well, today has been pretty much a bust. It hasn’t rained or snowed, although I’m sure it’s freezing out there. I’m half packed and spent most of the day napping. While lounging around the house is some people’s picture of a perfect day, I find it fairly madding.  I feel like I have to be Read more

    Wednesday –  Cold – like the high of the mid to low 30s.  That’s about zero degrees in Celsius.  Good times. I think I drove the truck for the last time today.  Well, the last time for a couple of months.   It’s supposed to snow and rain tomorrow.   I don’t really have a viable reason Read more

    Admittedly, I’ve made the past couple of days harder on myself than I needed to be. The Wednesday routine mammogram turned up something.  This something was so something that they called me back on Thursday for additional pictures. Neither I nor my doctors are sure what it is yet, but I have two theories. A:  Read more

    Saw Doc S this morning. No change in the anti-depressants. She warded me from anti-schizophrenia meds.    Doc S said that, with my history, the side effects could be worse than any potential help.    If the voices persist, we may have to resort to that, but so far, so good. Despite the cold and Read more

    It didn’t really dawn on me until today how much I should actually be grateful and thankful for what I have. First, I have a family who loves me and I love in return. Sure, we have our ups and downs, but when the crap hits the fan, they are there waiting.   No questions asked Read more

  • When we left Ralph in the first movie, he had grown from being a scared and overly self-conscious bad guy with a good heart to a good-hearted bad guy. He wasn’t really bad.  Rather, he was just played that way. The movie ended on a good note.  Ralph stopped obsessing about what people thought about Read more

    For some reason, I decided to stay home today. No gym, no silly game – nothing. My decision might possibly be based on the ice coating the quickly bare tree limbs.  The power was out from about one am going forward till about ten.  I really, really, really dislike the cold and the aching bones Read more

    Okay, so I went to the doctor today — my primary care physician, Dr P. I talked to a nurse for about five minutes while she took my vitals.   Dr. P made an appearance and I talked to her for about five minutes and then in comes the nurse to tap me for four vials Read more

  • Waiting.. again. Pt 2

    PSA – Daylight Savings starts tomorrow. (11/4) So, as stated last blog, I went out with my sister. We hit the gym.   I got two solid hours of the elliptical and an hour of the stair step in.   I finished watching Bates Motel on Netflix and started in on Sabrina.    I think I’m two Read more
