    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…

    Yesterday I felt funny. I kept thinking I had a sore throat but I didn’t. It wasn’t until last night that I figured out that I had swollen glands in my neck and it hurts when I swallow but not in my throat, only out of my throat. Last night I had multiple dreams about…

    A few weeks ago I played the Mega Millions lottery for the first time. The next day I discovered I had some of the numbers and I thought that was pretty nice! I didn’t think it was as nice when I discovered that I had won $12.00 not the $100,000 that I thought would be…

    So this is what happened…. I went to Costco with Mr. Murray and we were looking at dog beds. He may, or may not, have a strange obsession with buying dog beds. I’m more of a throw a blanket down there. So he finds a nice dog bed for big dog. Even cooler they are…
