I’m feeling some pressure to post something here, even though I have virtually nothing of value or interest to share. This has probly happened only a couple of times since I started blogging. That’s frightening to me. What if I wake up some day and REALLY don’t have ANYTHING to say???!!!
Speaking of [...]

(CAUTION: Major Venting Ahead)
I have been so ridiculously busy, preoccupied and stressed lately and I’m feeling that I’ve neglected my poor blog. I’ve had so much to write and it’s all been swirling around in my head and, much to my chagrin, lots of it has either gotten forgotten or grown into something that now [...]

Sometimes life has a way of gettin’ ahead of you and the best you can do is just hold on tight and go with it. Things happen that you have no control over. Other things pop up that you’re just not emotionally equipped to deal with, no matter how hard you try.
I’m, at [...]

So how am I liking this new work schedule?
Here’s my take… Sit on your ass for 10 hours working, surrounded by a bunch of tense, overly-tired people sitting on their asses for 10 hours surrounded by a bunch of tense, overly-tired people. Drag your sore butt home and try to stay awake until bedtime, which [...]

I’m trying to take it kind of easy this weekend, dreading gearing up for working 4 ten-hour days this week. You might not see that as a major feat yourself, but for moi, getting up at 4:30 in the morning is something akin to having major dental work or trying to get a trial [...]

I’m so excited. Last night was the first time this year that I was able to go to sleep with the windows open and oh my goodness, I love that so much! I woke up with the early morning sun shining in my face, the birds singing and the sweet smells of freshly [...]

Each weekday I awaken at (somewhere between 5:15 and) 5:30 am. I spend approximately one hour making myself presentable to leave the house and spend 8 hours at my job and then drive home for 15 minutes. So essentially, from the time I go to bed each night… which fluctuates between 10 and [...]

Today was not such a good day. My workday consisted of performing an 8-hour series of mindless tasks. Which afforded me 8 hours of thinking time. Ordinarily I might welcome that kind of day but today, not so much. I’m not sure whether to blame it on the cold meds I’m [...]

I’m not finding much time to write here or do much visiting with you. We’re trying to get the kitchen presentable for Christmas, shoveling snow, that kind of stuff. I’m not getting much crossed of the To Do list, so why am I falling into bed at night and out by the time [...]

I wasn’t sure if I would get time to post this or not tonight but I figured tomorrow’s kind of like a Friday at work, so I can be up later than usual…
My mom had surgery this morning and is doing fine. I had told some of you ahead of time and want to [...]

I did it. I survived, but barely. Working four 10-hour days is definitely not my bottle of beer. cup of tea. I couldn’t get to sleep at night and couldn’t wake up in the morning. Driving to work in the dark with pea-soup fog is for the birds. My body hurts. And I now have [...]

It’s a pretty morning, not yet unbearably hot. Had the required coffee on the porch with the birds and my out-of-control wild flowers. Happy to find some quiet Think Time. Sorted out some issues; what I do and don’t have control over. What I can change and what I can’t. Sadly found that the list [...]
