So it seems our old new house is haunted as I originally feared/expected. First of all, spider webs are EVERYWHERE. I dropped a cap from a juice bottle accidentally and it fell down the basement stairs. I groaned and walked ALL THE WAY AROUND the banister to go down the stairs to pick it up […]

Spring Fever!
Okay. So we are in World War III. That’s pretty surreal and yet… in a way, I can’t help but ask “What took us so long?” For people who argue we are not in World War III, more countries are presently engaged in the Russia vs Ukraine War than in any other war. Even little […]
Nuclear war?
We live in a globalized world. What’s happening to a country on the other side of the world affects the lives of those living in countries on the opposite side of the world. While bombs aren’t falling on my head, seeing them fall on civilians in Ukraine is nauseating and feels super close somehow. I […]
Music Is Medicine But Accessing It Has Been a Real Lifelong Trick
This week I’ve had to take a mental health break and employ my “music is medicine” mantra. At the same time, taking a break from job applications and money-scheming has caused me to reflect and marvel at the distance my same-age peers (the Oregon Trail generation) and I have traveled in regard to technology because […]
Dead On My Feet 🦇😺 and I Hear the Four Horses Are Warming Up… Just in Case (Election 2020)
If you follow this little blog, you’ll know I coped with rather terrible medical news a few weeks ago by focusing on how this year I’d be hosting a Vampire’s Dinner Party on Halloween night. IT HAPPENED! This orphan finally used my parents’ Noritaki China dishware, glassware and silverware which years ago I salvaged from […]
Brad, If You’re Out There, I Have Your Viper Disc
I’ve recently realized I’ve been holding on to a lot of pointless guilt and it has to do with a stranger named Brad whose name is scrawled on the back of the disc golf disc I use… Long ago, I met David who I eventually married and David played disc golf. I had never disc-golfed […]
Moving and the Struggle to Let Go/Avoid Having to Let Go
Aha! Book production is getting a bit more streamlined! My husband has taken over this end of the process as he doesn’t have epilepsy and his hands work better for him. I am secretly pleased that we use a typewriter as the binding weight. Yeah, we have a vintage typewriter which we haul around with […]
CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME
Have any of my ten readers ever been all “Oh wow. I just WISH I COULD BUY SOMETHING!”? No? Well, don’t worry. There are now things to buy. So I saved you some thinking! Since I went on a spastic manic blog writing spree a couple days ago (TWO POSTS IN LIKE SIXTEEN HOURS?!), this […]
“Is the American Health System That Bad?” Asked my Scottish/Not Scottish Friends. “Well, It Depends Who You Are.”
My husband David and I lived in Edinburgh, Scotland 2007-2010. Since his mom is 100% Scottish (though she resides in America but not in this photo because she came to visit us when we lived in Scotland), her family still lived there and we were therefore able to spend time with them. One time we […]
Tired (Wild Animals Screaming into an Invisible Mic)
I’ve been running in place for ten years. And I just realized it. In books, I sometimes see authors compare “a cake walk” to playing the old board game Candy Land. As in, both are smooth/easy/no problem. Well. Candy Land is in fact a brutal board game. Now that I think of it… cake walks […]
