Daily writing promptWhat’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done when no one was watching?View all responses I have a life-long, deep-rooted Arachnphobia that started when I was a little girl. It is Xanax-worthy, and even to this day, not even my pest control people say the "S" word in my presence - if they happen... Continue Reading →
The Hazards of Looking Up – The Saga Continues
Ever notice how many times a day you look up? You might go to the cabinet to get a cup or glass, the ingredients for a meal, lift your head to drink that last sip of soda from a can, glance up at a traffic light, or check the time on a wall clock. And... Continue Reading →
If You Had Only One Day Left…
Yesterday's appointment with my heart doctor left me with only a few questions. I feel this guy is totally competent and answered every question I threw at him about my condition, but I reserved a few of them for pondering over with my coffee this morning. They are ones I don't think he'd have the... Continue Reading →
Extra Energy, What To Do, What To Do?
I've mentioned before that I'm homebound for a bit, until we (Hubbin, me, and the various docs I'm seeing) figure out what's causing my severe vertigo and how to fix it. Having said that, I have brief moments when it's not so bad, and instead of using those moments of respite to enjoy the normalcy,... Continue Reading →
Baker, Cook, or Mad Scientist?
I'm homebound due to an inconvenient medical condition, so I'm trying to find ways to get around the cabin fever I'm experiencing. My efforts temporarily exclude anything strenuous or that may require stooping, reaching overhead, or being upright without support, so activities are limited. Hubbin is literally my go-to person now, shopping, lifting, weeding, cleaning,... Continue Reading →
Puke Is Puke, In Any Language!
You know the sound. Sorry if that makes you dump out your morning coffee and put away the cup, but I needed to write about this particular topic this morning. You see, my puppy ate parts of one of his fluffy toys yesterday morning and then came to over to me and started making THAT... Continue Reading →
Does My Daily Agenda Sabotage My Writing Time? Focus, Girl!
I have several stories I have been working on, and they are in various stages of finish-ness (yes, I make up words to suit my purpose). Having said that, I noticed a trend in my writing. On the days I have, with all good intentions, set aside time to write, my brain creates an agenda... Continue Reading →
Technology – Friend or Foe?
I went to a grocery store self-checkout register for groceries. When I sighed (rather loudly, I'm afraid) about having to do this myself, a wonderful store clerk came to my assistance. She scanned everything after I had told her that 99.9% of the time self-checkout does not work for me, and that I'd need assistance... Continue Reading →
Been a Hot Minute – A Coffee Moment
As is usual, this morning I am pondering randomness over my first cup of coffee, like where did the expression "A Hot Minute" come from? However I look at that randomness, it's still been a few since I've blogged. Today's agenda will include a video call for a project I may be a part of... Continue Reading →
Experiments With Rebel Canning
Yes, I said it, I pressure-canned several gallons of 1% milk this past week. The people who swear by federal guidelines say this is a no-no, but I used old-school methods to do it, and it worked out well. I had one quart jar that didn't seal, so that got made into pudding last night,... Continue Reading →
