Not much and yet maybe too much. A couple of months ago I signed up for SmokeLong Fitness Community Workshop. It's all flash, all the time. I've since learned that I can write to prompts quite happily if I'm given an example of a response. My creative battery is apparently sparked by other people's creativity. We're… Continue reading What’s Going On?

Raji and Wendy’s Great Adventure
An alternative title to this post would be The Great Escape. Be assured this story has a happy ending, although the experience probably shaved a few years off my life. Last Sunday I was minding my own business, sitting in front of my computer checking email, when I heard my husband calling for Raji and… Continue reading Raji and Wendy’s Great Adventure
A Tale of Two Bike Rides Among Other Things
Hello, everyone. Gee, I feel like I should re-introduce myself since my blogging has been on the down-low lately. But, yeah, I don't really want to do that. While my blog is about me, it's not entirely about me. Take from it what you will. Firstly, there is better living through drugs. The Gabapentin I… Continue reading A Tale of Two Bike Rides Among Other Things
Life in Non Sequiturs and Another Bike Ride
Yes, indeed, last week we ventured out to our favorite place: St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. It was a beautiful day, and the moon again made an appearance. You might have to squint to see it in the below photo, but it's there. While out and about, we met an interesting guy who was hiking… Continue reading Life in Non Sequiturs and Another Bike Ride
I Had an MRI and Lived to Tell About It
Yes, indeed, I had the dreaded MRI. Events happened so fast, I barely had time to be afraid. Here's what happened. On a Wednesday morning, I saw my chiropractor. I had already decided to request an MRI. A "new" pain was affecting the right side of my neck so I was done playing the game… Continue reading I Had an MRI and Lived to Tell About It
When the Going Gets Tough (redux) …
I go for a bike ride at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. But, first, an update. Many thanks to everyone who offered kind, loving words to my last post. I'm doing well because of you. I'm doing well because the cold/heat therapy has really helped my arm/shoulder/neck (I guess the problem originates in my… Continue reading When the Going Gets Tough (redux) …
When the Going Gets Tough …
I usually go walking and that helps to a point. I am still grieving for Maxine. I guess that's no surprise, but I didn't expect to fall into a depression, one that I'm still trying to climb my way out of. Although it's not fair to use my husband as a therapist, I've been doing… Continue reading When the Going Gets Tough …
Happy New Year and All That Jazz
Another year begins and not a moment too soon. I say "Good Riddance" to 2021. Yet another year of angst amongst preventable and unpreventable tragedy. I don't have great hope for 2022 being a better year. I'm just hoping it won't be worse. I'll be doing my part to stay positive, to live in the… Continue reading Happy New Year and All That Jazz
Done With Writing Thanks to NaNoWriMo 2021
No, I'm not done with all writing, just writing my perpetual WIP. After wallowing in one extreme for awhile (no writing), I went the other extreme in November and completed 50,977 words toward my novel. These were all new words (although the majority can be found in the dictionary). I know some people would say… Continue reading Done With Writing Thanks to NaNoWriMo 2021
Groovin’ On a Thursday Afternoon
The Rascals beat out the Beatles as my favorite music group when I was growing. I had a major crush on Felix. Many thanks to everyone who commented on my Monday post and provided me with sage advice. Ironically (maybe?), on Wednesday, before I got around to responding to comments, I made myself work on… Continue reading Groovin’ On a Thursday Afternoon
