Angelica has started school, so I am settling in to long days at home alone. There's plenty to do, but time to rest too. Being at home when your kids go to school is a nice break. I miss homeschooling and having her with me all day, but this is a lot less stress. Yesterday … Continue reading Long Days Alone
Weight Loss Goals
I normally hate to put out any weight loss goals because it feels like if you put your goals out there you're more likely to fail, and then of course everyone knows you tried to lose weight and failed. But what I've come to realize is that maybe it could work the other way. It … Continue reading Weight Loss Goals
Riding the Rollercoaster
If I could show you my mood graph, you would see few jagged peaks interspersed with long valleys lately. Functioning has been difficult. However, over the weekend having my husband here has been a balm to my soul. We've gotten important shopping done, watched the new Jurassic World, and worked on the house. He went … Continue reading Riding the Rollercoaster
Now We Both Have Covid
I was sick all last week with Covid. I am feeling a lot better, but I still have a cough and feel achey and tired. Craig has it too now unfortunately.

Celebrating the end of Roe V Wade
It's been shocking to me to see the furious reactions of the pro baby killing crowd. The way they're carrying on you would think we were going to kill their 1st child. Instead we're just telling them that they can't. I have dreamt of this day since I was 12 years old and found out … Continue reading Celebrating the end of Roe V Wade
Fruit and Spice Garden
We went to Homestead, FL to the Fruit and Spice garden. It was beautiful, though we got eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Tonight, on Father's Day, I find myself counting my blessings. 1. We are going to Key West! I am so excited for the trip. 2. My friend J is coming to visit this Fall! 3. I'm going to Peru! 4. My husband is setting up a beautiful library and art room for me. You can … Continue reading Counting My Blessings
A Poem in Progress
As you can see from the title of this site, I'm a writer. Usually I write poetry, but I sometimes dabble in non fiction or science fiction or a little bit of speculative fiction. Here is a poem I have been working on. Thunder is hard To sleep on as I drift in the breeze. … Continue reading A Poem in Progress
We Took An Evening Stroll on the Beach
After a stressful week it felt good to take a night time stroll on the beach by our house. I haven’t been doing well.
