  • I am definitely not the woman your mother hoped you'd marry. I'm not perpetually cheerful. My baking and home cooked meals are sporadic. My world is not centered around you or your every breath. I'm not the woman y…

  • I'm home. The trip was long- I'll never voluntarily sign up for a four hour lay-over in Washington again if my fellow traveller is unwilling to take an excursion out to see the sights. Or any other city, for that matte…

  • I'm leavin' on a jet plane.......Pretty sure I know when I'll be back again! Blessings Abound

  • I'm restless. The house is quiet, sunshine streaming dust motes in the lazy hours of early afternoon. The Chief lies down for a nap. I try to persuade him it would be more fun to play. He declines as he reclines. I …

  • The sun streams through the windows of the rental car. The glass is clear, free of streaks. I'm warmed through the cold glass of reality. In the back seat are two lanky, tall individuals whom I love more than anyone e…

  • Dr. K. called. He wants to offer me a job. With my hourly wage request. So:On to the next phase. I'm excited and nervous and feeling strangely alert. The alert that means I'm engaged in a way I haven't felt with wo…

  • You Are Green Bean Casserole Soda Vegetarians taste better! What Jones Holiday Soda Are You? Thank you, Scriveling. This will have to do for now. The house is a bit crazed. Too much testosterone in th…

  • My life is a cruise, Itinerary unknown Falklands? Bermuda? Blessings Abound

  • Happy Thanksgiving! We're stuffed and cozy. Husband and his bro and wife have gone in search of a laundromat. I declined. Both boys made it in safely. BF arrived first- one hour and four minutes off schedule. BW ar…

  • If the computer is to be believed, Boy Wonder is on his way to Pittsburgh. Beloved Firstborn doesn't leave Dayton until 12:15, so his flight status, though marked on time, remains to be determined. At this time they sa…

  • Update: I called the possible employer to "check in" as requested. He's spoken with one of my references. The other mailed the letter last night Even though we'd spoken of it Friday. Sigh. It's not good when people…

  • Why? are some people aware of the beauty around them, while others see only discontent and the malevolence of nature? Why? Do people mix with others whose perspective is not of theirs, but glide in to share while oth…

  • It's always interesting being with my sister-in-law, G. She's from Queens originally. Her name means "Queen" in Italian. She is the glue of the family. Definitely the matriarch. There is no one remaining in the next…

  • You are a Maine Coon! You are larger than life, agentle giant. You are independent, but veryaffectionate with your friends and family. Hey, cool! I'm originally from Maine, so this makes me chuckle. Thanks, DaeshiiWha…

  • This may be long and random. Bear with me. I haven't posted in a few days and there's a lot for me to process, let alone share. I was delightfully surprised shortly after midnight Saturday morning when Boy Wonder wal…

  • Off To Atlanta. Will post from there if able. Blessings abound.

  • I don't think it's going to happen. At least that's the word from my gut. The interview/dinner went well. The meal was great. However, I'm not sure if we're a match. The questions were good. A few took me off guard…

  • I have a job interview tomorrow night. If it goes well, I'm closing my office. I know what I need to make it work financially. If I get it, I'm going back to the world of allopathy. I can't take the quarterly tax pay…

  • Well, I thought I was going to bed. I looked at what needs to be done before we leave here at seven a.m. Saturday morning and the time in which I can do it and there is clearly a defieciency of time should I decide that…

  • One of the more interesting aspects of living with depression is the forgetful haze I live in when I am in a "down" period. Life becomes even more interesting when I am wading out of the abyss and I still can't remember…

  • Today is my one year anniversary for blogging at Xanga. What three things have I learned in this past year that I will take forward with me? 1. There are a wealth of amazing people who write. Eloquently. With a sens…

  • It is sunrise on the bay. Mangrove swamp and North Captiva rest behind me. Pine Island across the bay if I squint very hard. Even if I don't squint at all, Pine Island is still across the bay. I am restless. The hou…

  • I've visited and been in many bodies of water in my life time. I've been in The Gulf of Mexico, of Maine. Many lakes, rivers, small brooks. The Pacific on the West Coast and the shores of the Hawaiian Islands. I've b…

  • Old Orchard is a ghost town. Only it's skeleton crew of year round residents is present, the population starved of dollar toting tourists. I avoid the boardwalk with it's shops and carnival feeling. That area is hung …

  • Off to Maine! Have a glorious weekend. Blessings abound

  • When I was five, we moved to Hawaii. A driving tour to family and places throughout the US was capped with the Pan Am flight over more water than I had ever seen. The stewardess gave me a pair of Pan Am wings. I looke…

  • Here's where resolve-or a lack thereof- makes the commitment to lose weight interesting. Interesting- what a good word when the one word wanted won't come. I've made it through two days now of eating sanely. It's qu…

  • Another day, another dollar. Another group of people shedding skin cells on my table. Then tomorrow it's off to Portland, Maine to meet my sister and her friends for their shopping extravaganza. I think I'll go up …

  • SIGNS THE ANTI-DEPRESSANT THERAPY IS WORKING 1. I'm not crying when someone looks at me cross-eyed. 2. Checkbook Roulette does not seem as easy an option as it otherwise might. 3. I can see the beauty in the first fl…

  • Doing the dishes, hot soapy water washes the plates and glassware clean. I gaze out the window and remember the energy crisis of the seventies. No heat to the upstairs, sleeping in mittens and long-johns, many layers a…

  • The snow last night was beautiful. I took the dogs out to romp in the scant three fluffy inches we received. I wasn't going to turn on the spotlight, but then decided it would be safer, given the velvety blackness enco…

  • GRATITUDE LIST My sons are happy, healthy and pursuing the course of study they want. My dog loves me. I love my dog. The Chief made it through surgery with so far, good results. I have an amicable relationship with…

  • Here I sit in my quiet, still home, the only sound the tap-tap-tapping of the keyboard responding to my fingers. There are so many thoughts passing through. Why are people seemingly more cruel when anonymous? What hap…

  • Procrastination is a beautiful thing.

  • People who do not value the contribution of a soldier have probably never been in a military family or known a soldier. Not everyone wants to be in the military. That's fine, too. Some support the troops with ribbons …

  • My last blog provoked two inquiries about the efficacy of acupuncture. I'll share my experiences with it over the last ten years. I've had clients who have used it, and I can share some of what they've shared with me, …

  • For some reason, tonight I can read other sites but not comment. And what a pity-there's some juicy bits out there on my SIR. Yet another interesting think to make the time pass. I had acupuncture today which has mell…

  • She saunters out to the living room, her light foot treads betraying not her grumpy mood. She hasn't deigned to leave her room for two days now. Her appearance at supper time should make the family smile with glee and …

  • The Chief had his most recent eye check yesterday. The red blood cells are clearing and the interior of the eye looks good. Peripheral vision is returning as is some detail in his forward vision. He can return to work…

  • Everybody has been fed their morning meals except for me and The Chief. He's working on his breakfast and I am drinking coffee, trying to drain the anger out of my sould before I continue the remainder of this day. It'…

  • FOLLOW THE DICTATES OF YOUR CONSCIENCE BLESSINGS ABOUND

  • Wound up in the doc's office for a med check. I couldn't get any Ambien for sleep. Instead we're increasing the dose on one of the anti-depressants, which will, on it's own, induce sleep once the level is high enough. …
