Willingness

I suppose that everyone would describe 2020 as a shit show. It’s like a reality show that we have come to expect the unexpected. In fact, we are no longer surprised at the insanity. My level of acceptance comes in a repetitive sentence that goes like this…”Oh, so this is what we are doing now”.…

A Thing

A couple of days ago, I did a thing. I signed a contract with a publishing company. (Exhaling deeply). I have to admit that the whole thing has made me a little anxious. There is this whole mixed bag of feelings. It’s excitement clouded with a bit of “what the fuck did I just do”.…

Hero-ish

We have all encountered those people that brag about their spouse constantly on social media. They are always posting photos of them telling all of their “friends” all the amazing things that they do. We all know it is a facade. No one is that perfect. But, these platforms are the ideal place to live…

Check It Off

Yesterday, I rid myself of the interpretive Civil War foot wrapping and replaced it with a chic, colorful cast. I have to be honest. I was a bit terrified as to what my foot would look like. I haven’t seen it for two whole weeks and he did A LOT of work to it. I…

The Conversation

Since 2020 has been so AMAZING, my spouse added his colonoscopy/endoscopy to the list of things to do while in a pandemic. I think I have shared that my spouse has a delightful genetic makeup, so unfortunately these two procedures are part of his health initiative. Since I was still recovering from my foot surgery,…

Scavenger Hunt

I am on the hunt for a little item called hope. Do you remember hope? That ignition of passion. The desire of something unfolding that blankets us with longing. I suppose 2020 hasn’t given us a lot of hope. It’s there, however, waiting to be uncovered. I have always heard that happiness is an inside…

Sightings

Way back in March, when everyone froze in place in an effort to wait out the bitch called COVID-19, I got into a routine of opening my front door. Now, in “normal” times, I would never have done that because it would give people the illusion they were welcome. I don’t really enjoy humans. In…

The Challenge

A little over a week into my 6-weeks of “if you put any weight on your left foot, you’re screwed” challenge, I am finding that my brain is reacting in a problem solving mode. I will admit, that in the beginning, I was less than confident. Every time, I had to go to the bathroom,…

It Takes Time

Here are a few things that are glaringly obvious as I heal from reconstructive foot surgery. The first is that I am growing extremely confident on my handy scooter. I wiz around the house as if I were on a skateboard. Backing up is a challenge, but I know I will eventually master it. Sure,…

On The Edge

I am still baffled as to what the hell is really happening. It’s confusing, right? I mean, we are in a pandemic, yet people are still vacationing. They are gathering in large groups, hugging each other, and well, it’s beyond bizarre. I haven’t hugged my friends since …..(pausing as I think)…..I can’t even remember. I…
