My dad, my home, my life
Hi all - it has been so long since I posted anything I am not sure if you are even still here. That’s okay, I haven’t really held up my end of the bargain for the past few months.
I did want to give a (probably) final update on this blog. On June 8, our “senior [...]
I feel like crap and look even worse - or - which part of “Walking is good for you” do I not understand?
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. This winter, we were finally going to make use of the treadmill we’ve owned for the past 10 years. Coming off a summer and fall where we regularly walked 1-3 miles a day, we thought we were motivated. And, I’m sure “ye olde mill” was looking forward to [...]
So many (business) ideas, so little cash
When I had been working as a corporate hack for about ten years, I came to a point where I desperately wanted to own my own business. So in the mid-90’s when I was downsized out of hackdom, I took the opportunity to do just that - I did freelance business communications and marketing work [...]
My green EnV - here today, gone tomorrow
To whoever found my phone, probably in the Dahl’s or Walgreen’s parking lot on East Euclid on Christmas Eve, I’m sorry you didn’t have the character to turn it in to the store’s lost-and-found or even answer it when I was frantically calling its number to try to locate it. I hope you enjoy the [...]
Christmas was perfect!
I am finally breathing a sigh of relief. My dad’s immediate health issues have been resolved and he is doing much better at home while we look for an assisted living arrangement that meets his long-term needs.
And, while I missed the build-up to Christmas entirely this year due to work and personal chaos, I finally [...]
Quick update on… me!
It’s Sunday night, and I’m finally able to take a breath. When I said a couple weeks ago that it had been a difficult week, I really didn’t know how much more was in store. Dad came home from the hospital, did not seem to me to be doing all that well, and had a [...]
My brain is turning to mush… the t.v. must be on!
I’ve spent a fair amount of time this week in front of the television. I don’t do that often, but I’ve been craving mindless down-time for the past week or so and have been watching more. Here are a few notes from this week’s watching:
I seem to discover a lot of programs in re-runs that are [...]
A little weekend report
Wow, it has been a tough week. Short version: my dad is in the hospital and I’m sure he will be much better very soon, but I am exhausted! A few observations/questions:
Why does it ALWAYS take six (yes, SIX) hours for an emergency room visit? Six hours from moment of entry to being admitted/settled into [...]
I sang (if you can call it that) in front of actual people!
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin’ new.
Ohh, but it doesn’t matter,
’cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
One of the neat things we did while out with friends for our anniversary [...]
Sixteen good ones I wouldn’t trade for anything
Last Friday was our 16th wedding anniversary. We celebrated with a nice dinner out at The Big Steer in Altoona and then drinks with friends.
Our wedding in 1991 was a very casual event - we were married and had our reception in the clubhouse of a local apartment complex, with music by a local DJ [...]
