Pink slips and Covid

What’s that one saying? You know, the one that sums everything up. Oh yeah that’s right, “some days all you can do is laugh.” Where do I start? Let’s see, after 43 years I finally got fired from a job. I’ve quit a few, but can honestly say I’ve never walked in and had my... Continue Reading →

Ankle Weights And Mood Swings

Yesterday, oh yesterday. The kids are off school Friday and Monday for the holiday weekend. Now I’m not one of those awesome moms that gets excited when the kids are home on Fridays. Fridays are my day. They cramp my style, and I swear purposely try to piss me off. Yesterday is a great example.... Continue Reading →

Mammograms And Close Calls

Worst part of the mammogram is no deodorant and the maneuvering of arm fat. In July of 2020 I finally had my overdue mammogram. My doctor did his due diligence, and reminded me at every appointment. I wasn’t putting it off for any particular reason. I was 42, healthy, and saw it as an inconvenience.... Continue Reading →

Food prep and ex’s

I swear it had to be 100 degrees. That is not football weather. I’m not a fan of sweating uncontrollably. I went to the... Continue Reading →

Physical touch

Some people are touchers, and some aren’t. I definitely fall straight into the toucher category. I’m a hugger, a hand holder, and a back scratcher. In return, I require touch, and an over abundance of it. Borderline code clingy for sure. Code clingy Touch to me, is reassurance. It’s calming when my anxiety is high,... Continue Reading →

Nothing ruff, 10-4

I had my 6 week post hysterectomy appointment today. My surgeon is still out on medical leave, so I got to see one of her partners. I wasn't sure if today’s appointment was for an exam, but I sure hoped so. I just needed some verification that all was well down there. Same routine as... Continue Reading →
