2022-05-21 Sharing the Wheel with the Universe
Lately when I mount my elliptical machine I’ve also got my fingers poised to press play on my new, totally binge-worthy show, A million little things. However, most days are a struggle to get it to play. Blame the cloud, the internet speed, my outdated iPad, or the mesh wifi I paid a pretty penny…

2022-05-08 A Million Little Things…
Lately I’ve been wasting time watching more shows than I normally do. When I say “normally” I mean that normally I don’t watch shows at all unless Jim and I are sitting down for a chill hour of TV in the evening. And when I say “lately” I suppose I mean for the past nine…

2022-04-13 Who Cares?
Today I’m raging about my missing iris plants and asking myself who the fuck in my life will actually care about how I feel about this or anything else. Really. I’m upset that I haven’t written anything decent in months and who cares. I’m angry that I’m the only one in my household that pays…

2022-02-13 The One About Memory and Time. And Rocks… 🪨
I think about time quite a bit, and about memory too. I think about an hourglass glued to the table; the lyric of a song stuck in my mind for a lifetime. I can’t escape the curve of it, the gravity, the sensation of something you can’t really hold on to that’s slipping away. I’ve…

A week ago my uncle was taken by ambulance to a hospital in CB. Same day he was transferred to a hospital in Omaha and prepped for surgery for a subdural hematoma—bleeding around his brain. Now it’s a week later and he’s awake but has been unresponsive. Still intubated, as I understand it and my…

2022-01-10 Another Year in the Rearview
And what a year it was! Am I right??!! Sometimes when I’m on vacation and I have extra time, I elect to write about how it’s going. If I have a lot of extra time, there are pictures. That’s lovely to revisit later, but who has that kind of time? I’m usually more about the…

2022-01-05 Decisions Can Be Difficult but Sometimes the Path is Clear
I fielded an email yesterday that I initiated with the counselors at my son’s school. I had asked about the possibility of him dropping Algebra 3 for the second semester. He’s a senior and has one semester left before graduation. Their response asked if we’d considered the consequences. He’d no longer be eligible for most…

2021-12-29 In What Universe is it OK…
… that the answer to the question “Do you like pizza?” is different than the answer to the question “Do you eat pizza?”?! The answer to the question is that in no Universe is it OK (unless you have some health reason not to). I am surrounded by people who can’t eat things. Gluten intolerance,…
