  • Where I’ve Been

    Where I’ve Been

    Well, after I typed that title I wandered into the kitchen and made Potato/Leek soup and a pot roast with winter vegetables. I also marveled at how big the grapes are this year. Grapes Make Deal With Satan. Speaking of that, I’ve been watching the baseball Cardinals. (That shows my age – St. Louis hasn’t…

  • What I’ve Been Considering

    I’ve been planning a staycation for early November. Not a budget staycation, a Living Beyond Our Means for a week staycation. Do you know there are all kinds sof absurd things you can do in Saint Louis if you wanted to spend the money AND had not already missed the events? You can fly a…

  • Evidently I Am Weird

    An odd thing happened in Physical Therapy today. I was negotiating with the PT, because now that I’m on my third physical therapist I’ve found out what works for me. I like the numbers. How many of these stretches will you be doing? Five sets of three? Fine. Will you give me a three second…

  • New People / Old People

    I was so looking forward to the baseball game today. The Cards have been following the playbook that brought them success last year: laze about all season until the end, then pour it on until you win the World Series. And now here they are in the one game that will determine who goes to…

  • Scariest News I’ve Heard Today

    I know my life is settling down because I am out trolling for drama. For example, I heard the word “meningitis” on the news last night. I went from DEFCON 1 to 2 when I heard it was traveling westward, from the east coast to Tennessee. Then I thought, meningitis nearby and me with no…

  • Looks Like I Picked the Wrong Week to …

    Early last week, I decided to cut my Celexa in half yet again. Last Wednesday I came home and cranked it back to where it had been. This Tuesday I took an extra pill. And now they’re saying Obama lost the debate? Looks like I picked the wrong week to cut back on my Celexa.
