Bringing out the big guns; or, my dog’s REALLY gonna hate me in the morning…

Leave a comment

I've talked about my "escape artist retriever mix" before. He's broken his collar three times in the past year and I finally buckled down after the last time and got him fitted for a harness. He's gotten used to it, but I can tell lately he's gotten more annoyed and perturbed. Mostly because he can't … Continue reading Bringing out the big guns; or, my dog’s REALLY gonna hate me in the morning…

One thing I realized I’m thankful for during this virus-time: I live alone.

Considering how easily I get mind-numbingly bored (and you, dear readers, have bumped into a few of those posts), that might seem surprising. My kids, so to speak, are feathered, finned, or have paws and floppy ears. It hit me today, while people are so worried about their families and I'm doing all I can … Continue reading One thing I realized I’m thankful for during this virus-time: I live alone.

Q#127: How can you effectively create calluses for guitar practice when you constantly have to wash your hands?

The one thing I heard when I first started guitar practice was the need to … Continue reading Q#127: How can you effectively create calluses for guitar practice when you constantly have to wash your hands?

Q#123: Why do many Democratic voters (seem to) think that only an “old white guy” can beat D.T.?

Yes, I admit I'm a little bitter about the results. I wanted Warren to come out ahead of everyone. I've mentioned it several times online since voting for her before I went to work. But more than that, I'm waiting for the jokes about Democratic hypocrisy to start: the party that keeps going on about … Continue reading Q#123: Why do many Democratic voters (seem to) think that only an “old white guy” can beat D.T.?

Playing with New Years Resolutions. Learning how to prioritize me.

1 Comment

Naturally, health is going to be on the list. The difficulty is this week especially, I have to focus on finances and getting things corrected before all the tax season stuff gets really going. That's what I hate the most, but today and tomorrow I'm dedicating myself to getting it all cleared up as best … Continue reading Playing with New Years Resolutions. Learning how to prioritize me.

My Copy: 9781496199836 (image from bn.com) To save time and headaches, there's nothing I can't say that I didn't already say in my Goodreads review, so I just pasted it here: Just so you know, the book's written by someone who puts M.D. after her name (it's on the cover, too). The first half of … Continue reading The Sugar Habit: How it starts, what keeps it going, & how to break it naturally, by Christine Adams, M.D.
