I think there are too many distractions going on for our own good. Look over there — it’s a murderous AI chatbot who wants to kill us all and fell in love with a random person. But, wait! We wasted nearly half a million dollar missile to pop a $12 balloon. No…. Don’t look at… Read more

Well… This has been another odd week. Jason ** did ** start work. Actually, he’s been hosted in Indianapolis for the past couple of days for opening documents and information. Although he’s been gone for just a few days (returning this evening), I’ve taken the opportunity to do a couple of things that I wouldn’t… Read more

By all accounts, or most of them, I should be satisfied. Mom is healthy and sassy. Baby brother is doing well. Little sister has all but moved home. It * does * actually seem Jason will start his new job on Monday. As an added bonus, he’ll be staying in Indy for three days of… Read more

I should be happy. If not happy, at least moving towards satisfied. Jason has * finally * procured a job. It’s with the government and starts on the 23rd. The little sister is moving form Indy back home. Mom is happy. As far as I know, baby brother is happy and healthy. Yes, the weather… Read more

I’m… um… I’m feeling fairly exhausted right now and it’s just a minute over 8 am. This is not new. Unfortunately, it has become very typical and expected. What’s different is that I’m not out for a walk in the near-freezing cold. … just stuck my head out the door. Actually, it’s not that bad… Read more

Random update: This morning, I’m back on the exercise bike. This isn’t bad but a little different. I started the bike in the mornings to help stretch out my hip while looking at classes. Since the term is over, I’ve been trying to take morning walks instead. I find this immensely more helpful as it… Read more

Every day brings its own brand of crazy. Today should have been simple enough. It should have been pleasurable. It should have been stress-relieving. How many people can talk to their sister as a friend? But, no. Rather, in my poor attempt to explain my situation, I just became more aware of how desperate and… Read more

Thank goodness that there’s just one more holiday left – New Year’s.   Mom and Jason decided to have dinner.  But that’s our typical Sunday.   I guess that’s to be expected although I don’t know who is going to cook. I put in a request for miso soup.    I like it, haven’t had it for a… Read more

Yesterday was… challenging.   It started off at 8:30 with an appointment with Dr. S.   I was weighed in and lost a couple of pounds from when I saw her three weeks ago.  (A couple of pounds isn’t a big deal.   That could just be clothing or water weight.  It wasn’t like I dropped ten pounds or even… Read more

I feel like I’m spoiling myself a little today. Instead of jumping up early, often right when or before the cat starts to wail, I hid under the nice warm covers and slept a bit more. For me, this means I snuggled up until around 7 or 7:30 instead of 5am despite hearing the cat.… Read more
