For my 4 readers, I’ve long discussed the dangers of driving in Milwaukee. Last Friday, I was hit so hard my car was deemed totaled on the scene. It took insurance days and days and drama and stress but eventually they said the same. A driver had hit my car so hard in my passenger […]

Turning Over a New Page and Of Course There Is Maybe a Ghost On It 😂👻
Well well well… what has seemed impossible for perhaps five years total has amazingly happened! I’ve been offered a “real job” where I’ll be paid to do what I feel I was put on this planet to do: HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP. I’ll soon start my new job as Care Manager for a small […]
The Darkness
There are some nights – tonight and last night – where I think “I’m just going to bed. This day has felt too terrible too long and it simply needs to end. Here’s to tomorrow.” But then tomorrow comes. And it feels the same. My fucking IUD removal (or Mirena crash which many doctors deny) […]
Happy New Year! 🏴☠️🏳
For us, it’s still 2020. Feeling a bit bored and also somewhat doom and gloom However, we have a plan. 🎃 As it’s a pandemic and also because we are old, my husband and I decided that we are going to get dressed 😬 and drive to the grocery store (we have a gift card […]
It’s Happening! It’s the END!!!!!
Wellity, wellity. 2020 is coming to an end. Hypothetically. There is still time for the world to end before 2021. But hopefully that won’t happen. After all, we each likely have hard-wired high, misguided hopes for the new year. Because we have to. Survival requires a little hope, sporadically and strategically spread out over our […]
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 […]
Moving Out and We Took the Haunted Mirror With Us (To Goodwill)
Right. So, we started to pack up to ship out. The haunted house had won. Well, it wasn’t as much the weird happenings as much as the whole thing about my mom living her last days and dying in our house. The latter factor was a big one as we didn’t want to continue to […]
What the Others Saw
As time went on, more souls were to experience the unexplained, creepy and unusual happenings which took place in our Madison, Wisconsin house. But these experiences were secondary as these additional house visitors were there to assist me with the care of my rapidly declining, terminally-ill mom. Due to her lengthy battle with frontotemporal degeneration […]
The Crash
My mom was given six months to live in January, 2012, diagnosed with moderate brain atrophy and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). In September 2017, since she was still trucking but she could no longer speak, walk or perform tasks independently ALL WHILE BEING FULLY AWARE OF ALL THIS #mostcruelillness, she required very individualized care which facilities […]
Someone Never Stopped Coming Home
While it was still just David, Hemi Monster and I, our house, the first and only house for which we made mortgage payments, still felt busy. Even when any of us were by ourselves, we were never truly alone. That can be comforting and it can also be terrifying. On one afternoon, it was more […]
What David Saw
So we bought a haunted house in Madison, Wisconsin. A wise financial decision. Yet, throughout the four and a half years we lived there, I never saw anything. I heard things and I felt things but I never saw anything. At the same time, around the time we bought the house, my dad was about […]
Don’t Move Into a Haunted House
I’ve been told that epileptics are prone to paranormal activity but I’d say most people are fair game if you move into a place with black handprints up and down the basement wall a la Blair Witch. My husband, our mastiff rescue Hemingway and I moved to Pittsburgh last year to fail at starting a […]
