Figuring things out, just like everyone else.
I endured another Super Bowl last night. When I say endured, I mean I did not watch a single commercial or any of the endless pre-and-post-game nonsense. I glanced up occasionally at the muted TV to see if, by any chance, football was taking place, and that
Gray. Dreary. Raining. These three words describe the day here. I feel OK physically, aside from congested sinuses and the resulting headache. Somehow, I feel different today. I can't quite understand why, but I decided to stay home, which was OK with Hal. I resisted the urge to
Sometimes, nothing is better than relaxing in bed on a Saturday morning for an hour or four. When it is raining or snowing outside, it feels even more incredible. Today was one of those days for me. We had no plans for the day, so it was an excellent, peaceful
Super Bowl Sunday is nearly here. An American tradition that transfixes the nation every year. While there is a small minority like me who watch the game, it seems like everyone else wants to watch the commercials. Personally, I couldn’t care less about the commercials. I mute the TV
The latest health update is that I caught up on sleep last night. My blood sugar seems stable, but my head feels congested, like someone is inflating a balloon inside my skull. There wasn't much happening around here today. I finally picked out a mini fridge from Amazon
I didn't sleep well last night. I felt uneasy, but there was so much on my mind that I couldn't blame any one thing for how I felt. I was awake until 0600 this morning. I didn't feel tired until 0530 or so. I
Today was my monthly visit to the nail spa for a pedicure. As a diabetic, foot care is critical to delay the onset of neuropathy. Because I have numbness in my toes and it isn't easy to bend over, a pedicure is an excellent way to take care
Yoda was right. In life, we make choices all the time. We attempt new things, but we fail to learn a lesson that Yoda taught. Life is tough, but we carry on. We fail at things until we succeed. Failure is the stepping stone to success. Let's help
Negativity is a sneaky thing. I nearly succumbed to it earlier when I started a story. As I hammered away at the keyboard, I thought I was the crusading journalist type of writer, but that wasn't the case. I was writing from anger, jealousy, and darkness, which is
Time is a funny thing, “timey-wimey,” as The Doctor once said. Never argue about time with The Doctor. Today is Mom's birthday, or it would have been. I remember her every year at this time, and I always use this picture to remember her. Mom was orphaned
Today was tax day for both Hal and myself. I’m happy that things turned out better than they did last year. After we left H&R Block, we went to check out eyeglass frames since I have an exam next month that might change my prescription. When we
We enjoyed our Sunday here. Sleeping late is always a nice treat. We only made one trip to BJ’s for necessities like tissues and toilet paper. Tomorrow promises to be another beautiful day, and since it is Monday, most people will be at work or in school. If we
