Side Effects I Could Live With
It was refill time, refilling my two prescriptions that I swear I don’t need. They are both at the very lowest doses available and I feel confident that my doc ordered them so that I would return...
Jabbering
Some days blog topics tumble out of my brain and into my coffee cup, often resembling mountains of thoughts, but today I don’t have one blog topic in my brain or in my coffee cup, or anywhere...
Cookies and Java
Tom and I spent a couple months in Mexico in 1993 because we both needed to learn Spanish and the evening classes at CSI in Twin Falls weren’t quite doing their job. I taught ESL and Tom, as a...
Much Ado About Nothing
This week I had a conversation with JA Jance, a lovely author, who writes terrific mysteries set in Arizona. She’s like royalty in the book world and if you haven’t read some of her novels, try one...
Where Is It?
I’ve complained before that I seem to lose everything: my wallet, my glasses, my car keys. I even lose track of the last part of my thoughts as soon as the first half exits my mouth. My poor...
Breaking News
I have a mantra that I recite every morning as I look in the mirror, wondering who that old person is who is staring back at me. Gray hair and wrinkles and the hardware that sits on my nose and in...
Watching Jethro Gibbs
I don’t watch much TV, but I do watch NCIS every week, (my eyes never get tired of watching Mark Harmon, AKA Jethro Gibbs, as he is one fine-looking man). I opened my notebook because I never know...
Feeling Fine
I knew I had been missing something and couldn’t figure out what it was. Whatever it was that I was missing always made me feel good and I hadn’t done it in a long time, well, in fact, two years...
Postcards
I looked out my front window this week and shook my head. I am not much of a window washer, but decided I was going to have to do something. I could hardly see anything. Between the rain and the...
Picking on Prostates
My computer must be an advertisement magnet because I am getting more and more ads and they are getting weird. I don’t mind the ads about going to Hawaii for Christmas or buying cheap gas, but this...
I Can Hear It Now
I was wandering around the grocery store the other day and must have looked totally impressive in my worn-out jeans and holey sweatshirt with coffee drools running down the front because a man with...
My Biological Clock Is on the Fritz
Have you ever gotten out of bed and realized nothing was working right? That was this morning. I went to bed at the same time as always last night and felt terrific and this morning I didn’t....
Laughing at Rutabagas
I’m in a quandary. For many, their life’s work is filled with important things like the human condition, life after death, to wall or not to wall, and whether it is safe to eat processed food, like...
Calls, Texts, and Surveys, Oh, My!
Since I returned from Florida, I seem to be getting more phone calls. I’ve figured out how to handle the robo calls, I just don’t answer and that works fairly well except that I have to delete and...
One of Those Days
Yesterday was one of those days, busy from dawn to dusk, working on this and that and last night I was down-right tired. If I could get a little more organized maybe it would be easier, like Marie...
My Lemur Menagerie
Easter is always a fun time to share, and this year was no different. I love to make pies and pride myself in being able to throw together a fruit pie in nothing flat. I spend more time trying to...
New and Adventurous Things
Cool beans and hot horseradish! My long-awaited publishing gig has finally arrived! Wrinkly Bits Cruise Time is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Indiebound. I started my...
But, MY Grandchild Is the Best
Boy, am I one lucky duck! I’m not sure how it happened, but my children gave me four grandchildren (I know how thathappened) who are the smartest, most athletic, best looking, most personable,...
Meeting My New Friends
2020 had a lot of challenges for everyone, and I was afraid I would become a shopaholic or wine-aholic or wear the soles of my shoes out while on my five walks a day and I searched for something...
New Ways to Pay
At the grocery store this morning, I noticed a brightly colored, metal kiosk offering bit coins. It was right next to the lottery ticket kiosk. I buy a lottery ticket once in a while but have never...
My Curious Friends
I have some new friends with the oddest names, but they must really like me because they call often. Their names are Maybe Junk and Potential Spam. They call several times a day, and have begun...
Root of the Problem
Good news today! The dentist saved my tooth! I am one happy camper because I was not looking forward to living out the rest of my life with a tooth gap the size of Delaware, which, coincidently,...
