2017-12-26 And the Winner Is…
My Christmas Day turned out to be far superior to Christmas Eve. I think that the “it” factor was all about obligation. Christmas Eve was all about me running myself crazy about both real and imagined expectations. And as I predicted, everything went just fine and the only real complaint I had was that I…

2017-12-17 Stellar Sunday Stats
I can hardly believe that two weeks have gone by again already. The closer we get to the end of the year, the faster time flies. This is the second to last status update for the year and I’m quite pleased that I’m holding steady on most things. Sleep.. I’m still getting just shy of…

2017-12-15 Lions and Tigers and Boys.. Oh My
Yesterday was quite a strange day and full of expected and unexpected events. Most of it had to do with other people and most of those other people were men. Spoiler.. this one is on the long-ish side but the last bit at the end is super relevant to the story. First, my ex-husband called…

Let’s start with really, really ugly.. This morning when I woke up the temperature outside was 21 degrees. Brrrrrr, what?! Sometimes I wonder why I even live here since I hate the cold so, so much. I think the answer is/was family way back when, but now it’s definitely the kids. When they are grown…

2017-11-09 How I Really Feel
The major disclaimer that I professed when I started this blog is that it would contain my raw, unedited feelings about everything that I have gone through and everything that I am going through. I do make an effort to keep things as transparent as possible and as “readable” as possible, but some days that’s…

2017-10-17 Giving Credit Where Credit is Due
A few days ago I wrote about finally doing something I have been afraid to do for years. Fear may or may not be the right word, but at the heart of it, there is always some reason and that is the closest I thing I can come to pinpointing the root of why I…
