    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

    I’m exhausted. What’s with the pink? There were pink walls, pink robes (the ones that tie in the front), and pink plastic bags. There was pink wrapped candy if I cared to pick any up. The pictures where ugly pink flowers. Pink. Pink. Pink. Pink. I get it.   Breast cancer awareness is a pink ribbon,… 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

    Cold. There’s really not much else to say about today. Well, there’s always something, but that’s the main thing.    It’s cold. It’s like in the upper 20s. It’s the first day the snow is sticking. That beautiful white fluffy stuff that inspires Christmas carols, serial killers, and snow days.    It’s a pretty versatile… 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

    The last two days have been kind of odd. On Tuesday, the little sister and I went to Bloomington for the sole purpose of checking out Culvers.  This store was offered to her, but she didn’t want to have to travel that far every day.  So, she ended up training the management team. It was… 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

  • 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

  • Waiting

    I think I have a natural allergy to waiting. Right now, I’m waiting for my sister to wake up so we can go to the gym and she spoils me with lunch at Chilis (or Applebees or Montana Mikes or Texas Roadhouse) and Starbucks. But, she worked late last night and have never exactly been… Read more
