  • Accidental Penpals?

    I frequently get emails that are not for me. Apparently my name is very common. Sometimes if I’m in a mood, I will hit Reply. While searching in my email for something else, I ran across this one from 10 years ago.This was one of the funnier ones. Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 8:27 AM,…

  • Slapping at Windmills

    My Quest for Sleep Last month my sleep issues decided to just lose their every loving mind and became unbearable. My ambien even stopped working. Then one night I slept. One glorious wonderful night. I was determined to repeat this magical event so I did everything the same the next day. Ate the same foods,…

  • Nightmares

    uhg I have been having so much trouble sleeping the last few months. I start waking up at 11:30 and then every 30 minutes or so after that. I do the start falling asleep and then startle awake all night. I do not seem to sleep really deeply until about 6am. Not really working with…

  • Can you my darlin’

    Can you picture this… I had an interesting (to me) realization about my brain at two this morning that I am hoping once I identified the problem I can work toward a solution. I am having trouble picturing things in my head. One of the ways I have always calmed my brain or problem solved…

  • Atychiphobia

    Fear of Painting your Bathroom My bathroom is very small. It will take me an hour to correctly tape & retape. It will take me two hours to paint if I am slow and careful. I have had paint colors in there for a week. I am procrastinating. I am anxious that it will not…

  • I Expressly forbid you to have Good Customer Service!

    I have in the past used social media to express dissatisfaction with companies. It is a very effective way to get your message across. Luckily I have not had too many bad experiences in the last few years. Now I am faced with a dilemma. Twitter is by far the most likely to garner a…

  • Blah Blah Blah

    I spent the overnight hours waking up every 90 minutes or so to my brain telling me all the ways that I am FAIL. I am a horrible person who fails at anything and everything. Yay Chemo drugs. NOT I assume that I am not the only one in the world that has this side…

  • A Mystery (maybe)

    This is a view of my neighbors house (sort of) from my back deck. As you can see the are very close. 40 feet? There is a stockade fence between us. The have lived there about 2 years? Maybe less. It’s a man and a woman. I have spoken to them a couple of times…

  • You’re all wrong!!!

    I’ve had thoughts about this before but I don’t think I’ve ever tried to put it in print. Sometimes I think about common ideas and what would happen if they were suddenly proven wrong or an idea that just no one had thought of before. For instance – what if it was suddenly and unexpectedly…

  • Last Night

    I had an amazing idea for a story and for a post. Sadly it was stolen by the sandman. The nice thing about condo life is when you have a package with a signature required being delivered and you won’t be home but your neighbor will. A quick note on the door tomorrow should solve…
