Merry Christmas everyone!

As end of the years go, this one was pretty good. In some ways, I did get over the malaise that was hounding me this summer. One way was by starting on a course of anti-anxiety and anti-depressant meds. They’ve helped, though most of my anxiety ( Read more... )

Up in the dark early of the morning, worrying about budgetary concerns. In the midst of that, reading the coverage of the executive that was recently ousted from Apple.

His last name is Papermaster, and the only thing registering in my brain is now that he doesn’t work ( Read more... )

Once again, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. I think I’ve started to realize why. This week is has been a very hard one - very traumatic, dealing with some people that might be called friends, but probably shouldn’t be. And my weight stayed the same instead ( Read more... )

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, and my last posted was redacted because I felt it was so negative. That being said, my motivation to continue this site has been tested. As it is right now, I think the podcast is dead, and will only be revived by some sort of ( Read more... )

The sun came out today. It was out yesterday too. This has been very important, because I’ve been in a fit of the blues lately. I think it may have had to do with the cold, and the dark. I’m hoping with slightly warmer weather, my mood will lift - as will my willingness ( Read more... )

I love comfort food, and it’s been especially appropriate these last two weeks. Two blizzards in one week made me decide that I had a distinct craving for stew. Not just any stew. Beef stew. Good beef stew. So I yielded to the craving, and this time I outdid myself. Better ( Read more... )

It occurs to me, as I contemplate my dinner options for tonight, that I really play fast and loose with recipes. Tonight was going to be macaroni and cheese and ham. This recipe has morphed considerably from the time it came into ours family. Twenty-eight years ago, when my ( Read more... )

I’m an early riser. I get up earlier than anyone else in my family. It’s actually helpful on weekends, I’m most productive in the morning, so if I get up, I can get all sorts of stuff done before the rest of the family rises.

This morning, I had every intention of getting ( Read more... )
