I'm writing this from Casco Viejo in Panama. I am doing badly. Leaving the hotel room is a struggle. Twice I have had panic attacks in public. Mental illness is very real. This week my husband has work to do. Our romantic vacation ends tomorrow and we go to a different hotel in another part … Continue reading Sometimes Things Don’t Work Out

Books, Studying, Panama
I have so many new books. I have one in depth book about the octopus. I have another with gorgeous up close photographs of plankton. Additionally, I have a book coming in the Victorian language of flowers. I would consider myself a Victorian housewife more than a 50s housewife, and I am always interested in … Continue reading Books, Studying, Panama
2 Acceptable Reasons For Divorce
The only two acceptable reasons. Infidelity and abuse are the only valid reasons to divorce. There is nothing else. Marriage is an important issue to me because I believe that marriage is the bedrock of the family, and the family is what keeps society together. I have been in a lot of mom groups in … Continue reading 2 Acceptable Reasons For Divorce
In Praise of my Husband
I got sick over the weekend, and I'm still sick today. My husband is so kind. He helps out so much around the house. He gets the errands done so I don't have to go in stores. I am thankful for him. My husband is a gift from God that I do not deserve. He … Continue reading In Praise of my Husband
Bring Back Patriarchy
Despite what angry feminists will tell you, women in the West do not live in a patriarchal society. We should be. Women should not be drafted (something Congress recently considered) and so they should not have the right to vote. When you vote, you vote for or against wars. People who don't fight shouldn't get … Continue reading Bring Back Patriarchy

Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Having some sort of schedule can help boost your productivity. One of the things I love about this life is that I don't have a boss, and only answer to my husband. I guess you could say my husband is my boss, but he loves me so that's different. But when your whole day is … Continue reading Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting
I spent some time listening to lectures today. I listened to an introduction to Kierkegaard that I found interesting. His notion that ethics and religion do not go hand in hand, but are opposed to each other is a captivating idea. I also completed a documentary series on the early queens of England. This morning … Continue reading Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting
