I just got home for the third time. It's another one of those days. The weather has been bitter and relentless. After getting my hair cut, I stopped for Chinese take out and drove slowly and carefully home in the snow. No real accumulation is expected but the temperatures are rising and the winds

I am a straight forward person. I pay my bills as soon as I receive them and I like to be billed promptly. I have found lately many service providers are adding "miscellaneous fees" onto their bills. When I inquire about these charges I am advised that they are for "rags and such". Excuse me? Isn

Life is not stagnant, it flows and changes and so do the circumstances. So when my boss called and advised that I had reached my hourly limit I wasn't surprised, but I was disappointed. I don't want to work full time. I do however want to be engaged and active in a place I like with people I resp

I had pizza, salad, soup and chocolate cake last night. It was perfect. I hadn't enjoyed pizza et al at my favorite local place since returning from Kenya, more than a month ago. It was so nice to leave my house and enjoy a basic for me. My friend drove and then...it was over. So glad to be in ag

Good morning. It is snowing lightly here in the Berkshires and I am in looking at it. I haven't felt well for about a week now but it is impossible not to be joyful watching the snow fall so beautifully. There are so many things about which we have no control and clearly the weather is one. For m

You know the feeling when you have been ill and then you shower and things are better if only for awhile. So that is where I am this morning. I am done with being ill. I will tolerate it for as long as it lasts but not be a slave to it any more. I think I turned a corner.

My cold is is full bloom and my cough is pretty bad too. Last night I took what I thought was a cough medicine I had left from a Dr.'s appointment last year. I had returned from Ecuador and Peru where I was sick. I'm pretty sure it was altitude related and while I needed a Dr. there in order to b

It has been a long day and I am very much looking forward to the evening. There may be some snow and I really enjoy that. I went out earlier and bought some soup so that should be very special too. I'm having a good day that I believe will turn into a good evening. I hope yours is good too.

I like to participate in challenges and do so when I can. This one is beyond my pay grade though. Without being political, and I could certainly go there, this is an absolute crap shoot. No one really knows what the impact of a new administration filled with unknowns or too knowns will be. I wish
