Adding the New

I would apologize for neglecting this blog, but it was completely out of my control. Building a new website forced me to take a bit of a hiatus, but the time away gave me some great material. While I want to write about the turkey fiasco on Thanksgiving, I will save that for tomorrow’s entry.…

The Story

For those of you who have been following this blog like a bunch of stalkers, thank you! I am grateful for your presence and support. During this universal pause, I was fortunate enough to finish my book, Her Turn, and it will be released in January 2021. Originally, the date was nestled into this month,…

Unapologetic

This, my friends, is an unapologetic rant. So, if you aren’t in the mood, please know I won’t take offense. Maybe I will since EVERYONE is so easily offended these days. I digress. Today’s rant is brought to you by the letters, WTAF. You see, my disgust with people seems to be increasing and I…

The Choice

In the past, I have written blogs about getting through the holidays. You know, dealing with family members that you don’t see eye-to-eye on or those individuals that you only see on special occasions. Don’t have to worry about writing about gathering this year, since the holidays are basically cancelled. I think 2020 has provided…

Mid-Life

Two words…..French Vanilla. You are probably wondering what direction I am going with that and you would be right to question me. Let me tell you a story about how my spouse might be spending his mid-life crisis. During this unusual time, I have most of our food delivered. There are certain items that he…

Whatever

It’s been a while since I have penned my blog. It’s been a week that seems like a year. Physical therapy is on my list of things not to do, but unfortunately, it is helping the healing process. I just feel like my physical therapist is enjoying thinking of ways to torture me. I know…..it’s…

Bait and Switch

Distraction has been an excellent element to use with my spouse and oldest son. If you have been following my blog, you have been a witness to my struggles with air mattresses. You know, the three that have been purchased and then met untimely deaths. Not at my hands, but the carelessness of those two…

It’s The Same

This week has felt like a mixture of the movie Groundhog Day, where Maury Povich and Jerry Springer are in the supporting cast waiting for their entrance. It’s the season finale of 2020, and we are all holding our breath for the outcome. After the year we have had, how bad can this be? Wait…

Dialogue

Sometimes it takes a simply conversation. One where I am simply listening and on occasion, asking questions. Yesterday was one of those days. My mother’s caregiver is a young black woman whose spirit lights up the room. She is funny, spirited and my mother is in a very good place because of her. While my…

Never Imagined

This small getaway has refueled me. It’s like a rejuvenation of epic proportions. There were a few things that I couldn’t participate in, but one activity that I was very present for was skeet shooting. I joke about my “Pandemic Bucket List” that consists of things I would never consider doing and this is one…
