The Chronicles: Thanksgiving Edition
The desire to write again is creeping back slowly. I was, as so many were, so deeply affected by the outcome of the election. Many people are talking about it, still talking about it, posting about it …. and I don’t want to. I have no desire to write about it. But what worried me … Continue reading The Chronicles: Thanksgiving Edition
Diabetes, and Emails, and Mice
I’m working though my emails this morning and there was one from Kohl’s. It’s their “best Black Friday deals early” email. Um, WHAT? We barely have one foot in the door of November. My God, I haven’t even begun to think about Thanksgiving. There were also several “store” emails taunting with coupons to save money … Continue reading Diabetes, and Emails, and Mice
The Missing
What is it with things going missing? I just found a pair of scissors in the pocket on the back of the passenger seat in my car that I’ve been looking for, for nearly 3 months. Nobody knows how they got there. I always find a sock or two wrapped up in the fitted sheets … Continue reading The Missing
I Think I’m High Again
My gynecologist offers Botox now. Because everyone knows that vaginal exams and Botox injections go hand-in-hand. I’m assuming they mean Botox for foreheads, not Botox for vaginas. They don’t give Botox in vaginas. Do they? Because who would want that? Still, I’m wondering where along the way in gynecology some doctor said, you know – … Continue reading I Think I’m High Again
Three Years Later
It happened again. Another anniversary crept up on me before I even realized it was happening. It turns out today is the 3rd anniversary of our move to Maryland. If this is news to you, and you really want the back story, there are links at the end of this post. For the purposes of … Continue reading Three Years Later
It’s Not You, It’s Me
I’ve been so caught up in obligations and commitments and the busy-ness of a new school year – not to mention a perpetually sour mood – I’ve barely spoken to anyone. My dad called me this morning with a great big “well” – since we haven’t had a decent conversation in 2 weeks. I haven’t … Continue reading It’s Not You, It’s Me
Meanwhile, Back in My Uterus
I’ve been trying to write something worthwhile for days. I’ve been caught up in circles… confusion is nothing new. Since Pi died, we’ve… I’ve… been wandering aimlessly around trying to find motivation to do anything. I managed to clean most of the main house earlier this week…. Vacuuming and washing floors, dusting off surfaces, putting … Continue reading Meanwhile, Back in My Uterus
Postscript
The day after I first published this post, Pi took her last car ride. It is with a terribly aching heart that I announce her passing. The first time I came to this house, Todd brought me here. He had wanted me to see the work he had done, his beautiful handmade kitchen cabinets, and … Continue reading Postscript
Revelations – the Detox Story Continues
My journey toward writing my New York stories – whether by book or by blog – took me to this particular page where I was surprised to read what I had written over 25 years ago. I’m inspired to share the chronicles of New York and NYU, in my usual style of humor and a bit … Continue reading Revelations – the Detox Story Continues
