Not Just a Scrap of Paper!
During a fit of note-passing in my sixth grade English class, I asked my friend, Maureen C LaPerriere , to write something with meaning. She had quite a way with words, this one, and she wrote, ...
Up the Rabbit Hole
It wasn't as cold as I'd expected, yesterday, nor was it windy as it had been last week, so a walk with Beth naturally morphed into several hours of yard work. I say this every Spring: THIS is m...
Tippy-toed Flat-foot!
First: I AM SORRY for not having been able to note anyone. Reading has also been sporadic, lately. I'm getting used to this new 50 hr week. I now have two weeks under my belt as this Concier...
New Life
I am LOVING this new job. Of course, there is much to learn, still - but I have the basics down pat. I have been assigned to two buildings. 'A' building is relatively quiet, and 'B' building i...
Work and FLARZENSHET
Last day at Dianne's was Friday. Gave a crash course on stoma care, and changing out a catheter. Also provided instructions on how to get a clean urine sample. That's when her husband says, 't...
Shower Buddies
This is the scenario. I bring in towels from the laundry to protect my floor and use to dry off Beth. I mix her shampoo with conditioner and a little Ivory......set it up in shower. I bring Be...
20 in 70.
The boat is going much slower than I would like - then again, it's faster than swimming, and definitely more so than drowning. Can't lose 60 lbs in a couple of months, kwim? I am back into my v...
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!
In the aftermath of my spiritual introspection, things in my life began to change. I do not credit the new clarity on my spirituality, but the courage it took to admit and embrace what feels tru...
Change is on it's Way
News has come that my application has made it to Corporate in record time. Doesn't take much to qualify for a job at a security firm. With 20-somethings applying, one of the things they crave i...
I think I hear.......
...crickets in my last entry.
Price Gouging Thin Mints
Because fixing the job situation is not something politicians seem to be interested in doing, let's spend our time, instead, on the ingenuity (which is exactly what Conservatives believe we shoul...
Using Protection
Put a stranger on our path, and Beth will not only stand between me and him/her, she will pull out every physical promise of their near-future dismemberment. Let me take out the vacuum cleaner,...
Coming out
Spiritually speaking, of course. The following is not an invitation to try and convert or save me, nor is it up for debate. For all intents and purposes, I share it here as my new, first step o...
So, I'm a smart ass!
Let me preface this by apologizing to my nurse friends or any nurse who is respectful and can make inquiries without condescension. The following nurse is a very poor example, IMO, of those such...
Possibility
A supervisor was fired, yesterday, at this security firm. He worked the night shift. The rumor is that the previous supervisor might want the position back, but he also has a history of frequen...

Watch what you say, say what you mean!!!
Just read a great article. Intelligent, well written, insightful, except for one tiny thing I noted in the very first paragraph: I could care less. Folks, when you determine the subject at hand...
Movement
The shot wasn't pleasant by any stretch of the imagination - and I was surprised that an injection behind my shoulder could be felt all the way to the front of my shoulder. Pain yesterday aftern...
No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!
Shoulder Update, but first - let me just say how VERY much I love PPO insurance and specialists who are willing to see you without a referral. Like I need a GP to say, 'yup - you should probably ...
Going to the Joint Place
Facing this shoulder thing head on, tomorrow. Insurance through union runs out end of this month, so here's to quick answers. Cortisone shot, maybe. Those are SO much fun! Slinking off to ...
Her Name Shall Be Tootie!
My sister is dilated to a 6, is fully effaced, has had her bloody show, but now...NOW...the contractions are irregular, though strong. This little fart is toying with us. I fixed her, though. ...
Limiting God in Kansas
From MSNBCAnti-evolution activists have pushed a variety of measures over the last several decades, hoping to either eliminate or water down science-class curricula, though nearly all of the effo...
Shoulders and puppies!
No way! Tried to make an appointment with my GP because this shoulder thing is still being a bitch. Can't see ANY doctor in the practice until MAYBE the second week of March. Mind you, the GP ...
Brag book
This is my daughter. She is FOURTEEN. Only fourteen! When she was hatched, we could hold her in one hand, she was so tiny. I can't believe she just up and grew like this. I look at hubby a...
Dr. Who
I am a newbie to the World of Time Lords, and started with season Five...because that's as far back as I could go with Netflix DVDs. Last night, I learned something about River Song and Amelia Po...
