Fat Cat came into our lives on October 30, 2021. Her people were no longer able to keep her due to medical matters, and nobody had responded to requests to foster or adopt, so Alan and I drove to meet her. We knew we weren’t her ideal people, but she … Continue reading →
I was traveling at the four-month mark. Then I had some tasks to complete. So here we are. I’m attempting to slow my sprint while not coming to a complete halt. I FEEL as if I’m not getting enough done. I FEEL as if I’m falling behind and will not … Continue reading →
It’s been three months since your soul departed. I wasn’t going to do this thing where I mark anniversaries, but it’s challenging not to, so I’m not going to fight it. As part of the Transitions process, I’ll provide an update. Last night I firmly reminded myself this is a … Continue reading →
Alan passed a little over two months ago. We always expected he would go before me, and we planned accordingly. While he had every intention of living until 100, we always talked about what to do when he wasn’t here anymore. While his passing on April 22 was a surprise, … Continue reading →

It’s been way too quiet here. It’s not because nothing has been happening, and it’s not because I don’t have anything to say about what has been happening. I have fairly strong opinions and thoughts, but at least half my readers probably have strong opposing thoughts and opinions, so I’ve … Continue reading →
I guess you found nothing beneficial about all the crud that’s been going on since we shut down for “2 weeks to flatten the curve” ten months ago. I could say that, too, but I’d be lying. If I’m honest with myself, it’s been a good year. Mr. L has … Continue reading →
Most of us have made significant changes to our lifestyles over the last month. We’ve seen reports of reduced pollution of all kinds. We’ve seen wonderful ingenuity on the part of small businesses (survival instincts are strong), and we’ve seen signs of people in communities pulling together to help the … Continue reading →
