    A few minutes ago I was talking about music with a friend and sent her a link to Sogno by Bocelli and then I of course had to play it. This song just touches something in me. (I won’t tell the story again about the first time I head it because it’s been told before…

  • Brits VS Americans Round 1

    I have been watching a lot of BritBox shows and suddenly I am inundated with detectives and police types. One of things I noticed this week after gorging myself visually for a couple of months is the difference in the female leads on American shows versus Brit shows. The American women are almost always fully…

    My keyboard is very dirty and many keys are sticking. I am typing very solidly to help with this issue. It is not helping, it has taken me so many tries to type those first two sentences! I almost sent an email that started with “God Mooing,”. A few months ago one of my domain…

    I really like my daughters hair cut. I’ve been thinking about asking her to cut my hair to match but that seems a little, mmmm, fountain of youth chasey. But to be fair I think I might have had that haircut first. My daughter and I both wear a lot of flannel in the cold…

    I have not been sleeping well for the last week.* I’ve always had a certain sleep pattern. Fall asleep in seconds then wake up between 2 and 3am, stay awake for 30 minutes then out. But on the bad weeks my 2am wake up includes 3 hours of restless annoyance before I fall asleep for…

    I have this little yarn bowl. It holds everything but yarn. It can’t hold yarn because #1 I rarely use balls of yarn and #2 it’s full of other stuff. The other day after much effort and water and slippery lotion I took of my wedding ring. My arthritis in that particular finger had caused…

    Anti-Semitism I’ve been hearing so much about anti-semitism the last few months I wanted to say something. I’ve always been conscious of my ability to put myself in another persons mind and understand their feelings. It took me a long time to realize that understanding is not the same as sympathizing. But I 100% do…

    A couple of weeks ago I went through and unsubscribed from a bunch of social media feeds. Mostly FB groups that didn’t serve me anymore. I kept the ones that give me good ideas or just have pretty pictures. There are a couple of pretty strong themes in my interests, mostly food. One of the…

    Have you ever heard of binaural beats? I used them for many years for pain and found them very helpful. Also helpful for sleep. I’ve been angry at the world for the last week or so because of a puppy, the news, and court TV. We took in a very neglected puppy for a night…

    I have been on antibiotics for 9 days. Relatively speaking these have been pretty gentle antibiotics to my sad digestive system. I had chemo on Tuesday. I would NOT suggest doing both at the same time. I am the official cat caretaker for out of town family. I made a pronouncement after the last one…
