  • How my day went (8/25)

    Last night wasn’t any different than the night before. I was awake about every two to two and a half hours.  I roamed the house sans glasses but with Croc sandals. I ate right around 6am. –   One Light and Fit Strawberry Cheesecake yogurt and a couple of non-fat Eggo waffles. It’s not exactly the Read more

  • What I did today (8/24)

    Well, I got up around 6 am after a fairly restless night. I’m not sure why I couldn’t sleep.    I was fairly exhausted when I got out of the shower. The day before was kind of irritable. I hadn’t made some progress on this game despite my brother’s and mine best efforts. My brother has also Read more

  • Fall of Winter

    It isn’t time yet. Look, I know we’re at the end of August. September is just around the corner.  The kids started school last week. The swimming pools are closing down for the season after Labor Day — in just about a week and a half. But, it’s to early. The trees are losing their Read more

  • Checking In

    Well, hello. I know I’ve had a prolong absence from posting until a couple of days ago. –  Life was just a little crazy between Jason’s visit and that clingy creepy class. It’s over.   It’s both over.   Jason has safely returned to Florida.  The class ended last Wednesday. Life is starting to return to normal. Read more

  • +++++++   Possibly spoilers. I won’t know until after I write it.  ++++++++++ Yesterday, my sister wanted to watch a movie. It was a toss up between “The Spy who Dumped Me” and “Crazy Rich Asians.” Ultimately, she decided on “Crazy Rich.”     I was A-OK with that.  It got better Tomato reviews that “Spy.” Also, with the gym Read more

  • Reflections of Gencon

    Gencon….  the reputed “four best days of gaming.” Okay, I haven’t been to a lot of other fan conventions to really test that slogan, but I still look forward to it every year….  although I would still like to go to Dragon Con, Comic Con, the Anime Expo, E3, PAX, the San Diego con,…  you Read more

  • Robbed

    When I was little, I used to love the holidays. Well, most of the holidays. Halloween, hands down, was my favorite. No… nonononono, it wasn’t because of the candy, but because I felt that I could actually be myself.  I was always the oddball, of course.  Never fit in.   Halloween was empowering. My second favorite Read more

    Well, the next term starts tomorrow. I’ll be instructing a 102 class (basic writing) and a 202 class, which is a little more advanced but not much.   It’s a far cry from Literary Theory, but I’ll take it. I’ll have an assistant with 102 – Shelly.    Don’t know much about him or her, except that she Read more

  • 23 Band-Aids

    I am a white woman of German/Irish/Dutch/Scottish/English/Native American descent. Yes. I’m an American mutt. In the current cultural climate, because I’m white, I owe some kind of debt to African Americans.   No, no.   My family wasn’t involved in slave trade and didn’t own any plantations that I know of, but I’m guilty by association.   Right?

  • Was ready to go

    It’s no secret that I was in sorry shape before going to the House. My weight had dipped below 80 pounds, some of that didn’t count because my legs below my knees where so bloated, not to mention how much the steel in my back weighs.  My hair, which I think is one of my Read more
