I belong to a lot of groups, pages and lists on Facebook. One of the groups recently had a 26-day long gratitude posting – each day members were to post what they were grateful for, corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. I only found out about this challenge when it was more than half …

Ancient Chinese Secret…
By using that title, I truly am dating and aging myself. For those of you who are young, that was a line from a famous commercial for a detergent in the 1970s. But I digress. Lately my coworker and I have had a fairly regular routine of ordering Chinese takeout – we have it delivered …
Frustration – in every way!
We are living in frustrating and annoying times. Recently, at work we had one of the most frustrating days EVER. I won’t get into too many of the details, but let’s just say we had a patient who had requested to make many phone calls. And when I say many, that is exactly what …
Help, I need somebody…
…help, not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone…help!” Anyone who knows me knows that I really am not a Beatles fan (sorry to those who are) but I couldn’t help but think of this song when I decided to write this post. I need some help. I need help from you, my small …

“…tryin’ to make a living and doing the best I can…” These are crazy times, for sure. What is going on right now is something we’ve never seen before, nor did we ever think we would see. Normally, I am a fairly positive person, and I try to see the good in people, things, in …
Easy Peasy Snack Time
I am a snacker. I always have been and I always will be. I have had a bedtime snack each night for as long as I can remember, and I don’t see that ending anytime soon. Besides night time, I snack all day – I pretty much graze. Like a cow. I like snacks to …
20 Questions…or thereabouts
The other night, I was struggling to stay awake – because I was filling out one of those Facebook quizzes. Why I felt it was so important to give my answers instead of getting sleep, I don’t know. The post said something about posting this stuff so people can get to know little things …
Time for a health check up…
I had been thinking of reassessing my health for a while now. Three weeks ago, I had to go to the ER. I was having chest pains. Thankfully, it turned out to not be anything serious. But that, combined with a good friend checking into the ER today has convinced me that now is the …
