Meal Schedules
One of the hardest things of adult life is deciding what to cook for meals. When I was younger, I had a whole bunch to things to cook for the family. Even though we had the same four or five meals fairly often, it was always interspersed with other things. Our menu was varied. Some […]
Seasonal Affective Disorder
If you’ve experienced depression and lethargy in the fall and winter seasons, you may be suffering from seasonal affective disorder. I know I have it. For me, it’s tied to sunlight, yet that bit of knowledge eluded me this fall when I was feeling unsettled and dreary. But no more. When we first came to […]
The Joy(?) of Being Sick
Last week, I mentioned Hubby and I had been sick. Me with the flu and Hubby with a terrible coughing cold. This week, Hubby is still sick, I’m better but feeling like I’m getting what Hubby has. Oh joy. Someone told me rest is healing. Resting is one of my best things. I like to […]
A Week of Frustration

Planning Isn’t My Forte
Some people cannot function without planning all their time. I’m the opposite. I make plans, then whatever comes along, I follow that. I admit I’m easily distracted. I generally go with the flow. Now football season is beginning and I’m a big football fan. That takes up my weekends for a while. At several writing […]
Financial Literacy
Last night, Hubby and I were laughing about my first forays into adulthood: getting a loan. My dad gave me the loan papers to fill out, and I dutifully wrote in all I knew about myself and offered my 6-year-old junky car as collateral. It’s all I had to my name. When I got to […]
