Stop the Clock

More and more these days, I feel as if I’m living in fast forward most of the time. I resent the time I have to spend resting, but know I’m dysfunctional without that refreshment. I drag my body to the pool because it has to have exercise to keep it moving. True, when I get there, I enjoy moving… click here to continue

Crickets are Calling

A few nights ago when I opened the bedroom window, I heard what sounded like crickets. I’d never heard them here before, so thought I must be mistaken. But the next morning when I closed the window, a cricket was clinging to the outside of a screen. I don’t know how many crickets it takes to make up a chorus… click here to continue

Brain Maintenance

Today I’m speculating about the apparent correlation between physical deterioration and stimulation of the brain. My mind seems to constantly be working on how to save steps when my arthritic foot pain is at its worst.

Weighty Matters

It’s possible there is nothing more boring than blow-by-blow descriptions of weight loss programs—diets, exercise, etc. (Yawn).

Hit Me Again

I got my morning chuckle early today. When I opened my email, the top two headlines (both SPAM) read, “Your Bill is $700,000,000,000” and, “Having Trouble Sleeping?”

Is it Possible

The problems I’ve had in recent years with screw-ups such as this most recent one described in my previous blog have made me wonder how many drug-damaged people are out there holding down jobs.

I know of one professional person whose brain was so affected by drugs he took in college that his partner had to carry… click here to continue

Part Two - I’m Mad as Hell

This is a rerun with the addition of my latest adventure with careless merchants. Three weeks ago we purchased a sofa bed for the guest room, then began trying to find a home for the queen bed that was in there. It took about three weeks, so the bed will be picked up tomorrow morning and I began to unpack… click here to continue
