Sunday I had the bright idea to try and sort all of my neglected flower beds out in the space of a single day. (Note to self: Plant something that doesn’t require weeding.) And so, for the first time in several months, I am having back spasms. I almost forgot how much those suck.
Luckily, I [...]

My dad just called to let me know my Great-Grandma Dora passed away. While I’m sad for our family I am glad she’s at peace now and not trapped in her body anymore. Last week I stopped by to visit her and she smiled at me and I couldn’t help but exclaim “There’s Grandma!”. She [...]

I think I may apply for the nursing program at school. Actually at the two schools in my area that offer an RN program… since both have a pretty packed waiting list and determine placement based on grades, test scores and random luck, I figured I should apply to both and get into whichever lets [...]

Saturday morning I was puttering around in the garden when I heard a terrible hissing noise and found one of my cats engaged in mortal combat with, of all things, a hamster. A hamster who had obviously seen better days, as one eye was swollen shut and half of an ear was torn off. I [...]

The past few days have been crazy busy and I’ve found myself needing a bit of an energy boost to power through and get everything I need to get done handled. I’ve never been a big coffee drinker (total Tea Addict though!) or Gatorade, sports drinks, anything like that really. It’s the same reason I [...]

Is it possible to have roid rage from a little bit of prednisone? Cuz uh, I sorta feel like I want to kill everyone in my path. And then lock myself in my room. And then scream. And then eat a cream puff.
(It sort of started yesterday when one of the nurses told me that [...]

I try to avoid the doctors as much as possible. Not because he’s not a great guy (I mean, he never fails to convince my children that they have birds living in thier ears and that is funny) but because no matter how pleasant the visit, my wallet always comes away much, much lighter. But [...]

Maybe Catwoman. Or She-Hulk.
I have a bruised rib. (This is actually much more painful and dramatic than it sounds. Just ask my husband, as I’ve been growling at him roughly every fifteen minutes to remind him how much pain I am in. MUST. GET. HEALTH. INSURANCE. Painkillers would be lovely.) I had a disagreement with [...]

Well folks, through a twisty turny set of recent events I find myself the new owner of a job. Yep, a J.O.B. And even better? I like it! Of course, I may have to change my name to Mavis and grow a shemullet, but that is all in good time. I’ll try to keep my [...]
