I just had my annual physical exam, I’m actually still at the doctor’s office waiting to be called for the blood work. I don’t feel like any of my concerns were addressed today. No medication for my chronic back pain, no test for my hormone levels, nothing to help with the hot flashes. I wonder…

Temporary insomnia
Temporary insomnia or so I hope! It’s 4 o’clock in the morning and I’m still up. Ugh, Not this insomnia s*** again Sleep, please come ASAP!
A crumb of hope
It’s funny how we forget one basic rule of life: The only constant is change. That whatever we are going through: sadness, loss, happiness, joy, whatever, it is bound to change. That is a fact of life. This is especially hard to remember during sad or low times, times of misfortune and so on. Lately,…

Instead the lyrics below kept going through my mind. 🎵”Let’s synchronize our..”🎵 I couldn’t quite remember the last word but could hear the song. I was…
The Introvert’s Dilemma
Many introverts, myself included, greatly enjoy solitary activities. I mean what’s not to enjoy: time to unwind and re-charge, solitude, a good book or walk, a cup of tea, a favorite program, a cozy nook, a comfortable bed..the list is long. All this is much appreciated especially at the end of a work week. What…
Impromptu
So usually I have very elaborate travel plans for my birthday which falls on August 19. I have often been able to take a week or more off from work and spend 3 or 4 nights away. I’ve traveled to the Ozarks, Colorado, Arizona, Nairobi, Oklahoma, Utah and New Mexico for my birthday in past…
