9 Weeks and Tiny Flora and Fauna #iPhonephotography #cats #nature
Getting close to that time when our cats will have to work for their food.
10 Weeks and Planning How to Drop the “R” Bomb
The “R” bomb meaning retirement, resignation. Gee, those words really sound kind of depressing, like I’m resigning myself to retiring into oblivion. But that’s not how I see it. I might retreat further into my bubble when I retire, but my bubble needs some serious attention. I read recently that […]
13 Weeks and Counting #hanginginthere #nature #vote
I love the number thirteen. That and the fact that I got an extra hour’s sleep this weekend made me feel quite chippy on Sunday. Monday (today) starts week #13 in my countdown, so for once I actually looked forward to Monday. To a point anyway. This will no doubt […]
15 Weeks and Counting #wfh #newchapter #nature
My husband and I used to walk the 12-mile loop, although for me anyway the last two miles were more hobbling than walking. These days neither of us can manage walking the 6-mile loop. Bad knees, bad back, less tolerance for heat and humidity. But we have bikes.
Work, Work, Work #MondayBlogs #WFH #writing
The choices we make and the importance of being mindful in those choices. Some might not seem like a good idea at first, but you can make it work.

The Joy of Aging … Not #MondayBlogs #bodyimage
I have an essay published in Crow’s Feet on Medium, where I write about my battle with my aging skin. No lotion, no potion can turn back time, it seems.

The Remote Life #COVID-19 #remotelife
The remote life is not so bad. Not as long as you have plenty of food, you’re not sick, none of your family are sick, your cats are healthy, and you’re able to work at home and maintain your income (alternatively, you could be retired like my husband in which […]
Stay At Home and Stay Away #personalspace #socialdistancing
Whenever in a crisis, I always want to pare down, live a simpler life, stop trying to be some kind of social (media) butterfly. It’s how I cope. Remember, I’m an introvert.
Down With COVID-19. Up With Nature and Cats. #MondayBlogs #Nature #Cats
My reprieve from the COVID-19 call center was only for a few days. (You can read about my stomach-churning anticipation here and actual experience here.) By Thursday, my division was being asked to ante up again. At one point, my boss wanted me to literally drop everything and high-tail it […]
