I am going to be honest here. I mean, I really try to be transparent when I share in this blog, which hopefully makes me relatable. Today, it is beyond important that I open the vault. In the thirty-five years that I have been of age to vote, I have never watched an entire Presidential… Continue reading So….That Happened

Never-ending Saga
I realize that our country is imploding. I am aware that there are an abundance of other issues to consider, and that my corner of the world is pretty stable, but I have to be real with you all. I am suffering. I am suffering from the insanity that involves air mattresses. For those of… Continue reading Never-ending Saga
A Different Picture
Friends, I have really neglected my blog this week. Not on purpose, mind you, but there have been a lot of balls to juggle and I am simply a terrible juggler. My mother has been a petulant child with her demands of me canceling caregivers. I am forever using the “mom” voice with her. My… Continue reading A Different Picture
What The Hell?
Yesterday, I was giddy sprinkled with nerves. This was the day that I would be released from my hostage situation AKA my red cast. I would be walking again like those miracles in the bible. The angels would be singing and all would be right in my world. Reality check. That shit did not happen.… Continue reading What The Hell?
Giddy Girl
Today is the day. Four weeks of a colorful cast whose luster wore off about 15 minutes into wearing it. Six weeks of non-weight bearing. Six weeks of being less than proficient in driving a scooter. Ladies, you know the feeling you get when you take your bra after a full day? This is the… Continue reading Giddy Girl
Another Day
I haven’t really been out and socializing on a grand scale since February, so heading out to a college football game is a big deal. Add a cute mask along with a non-weight bearing woman riding a scooter, and you have a recipe for humor. I had gotten some information from the ticket office regarding… Continue reading Another Day
Tough Choices
If you have ever had to care for an elderly family member, one who tests your patience and makes you want to go into the witness protection program, raise your hand. Yep. I knew there would be a lot of you. Here’s the deal, I just made a tough choice that was not popular with… Continue reading Tough Choices
Almost There
The countdown has begun. One more week until I get my cast off and take a spin in my walking boot. You know, the same boot that has been my appendage since the beginning of the 2020 – the year of the spawn of Satan. Anyway, I have been impressed with my creativity during my… Continue reading Almost There
What a Surprise
Football. The word alone gets me a little giddy. It gives me a touch of hope. I know I sound certifiable, and after six months of dealing with 2020 along with being held hostage by a cast on my left leg, I am not surprised that I have officially lost my marbles. Just humor me.… Continue reading What a Surprise
I Remember
I remember September 11, 2001 like it happened yesterday. I remember watching in disbelief as the plane made contact with the first tower. I remember wanting to pickup my boys and bring them home instead of letting them finish out their school day. I remember going to a Weight Watchers meeting later that day where… Continue reading I Remember
