Happy Thanksgiving! Embracing the change that has become the norm in my life, there is no turkey on our table today. I’m surprisingly OK with it. I thought a couple of months ago, when I started down this vegetarian road, that missing The Turkey would make me bitter and resentful. Here’s the thing though. Every [...]

Wow, time flies. In the last couple of weeks I’ve gone from the standard meat/junk/dairy/American diet, to being about 95% vegan. The funny thing is I don’t really miss meat. Two things happen when you give up meat/dairy. Roomie and I have both noticed how much more energy we have. Along with that, I’m sleeping [...]

The other day I went for some blood tests. Nothing major, just my annual physical tests. My doctor’s office has it’s own lab. In that lab there is the sweetest little, bald, fat, Indian man. I’ve gone to this doctor for five years now. I’ve been seeing this same lab guy for that whole time. [...]

Hi Y’all, In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m kind of taking a break from writing. There are some things going on around me that need some TLC and not to be written about, so I’m taking a break. Life is good at Casa Grania, no worries here. The holidays were excellent too. Thanks for askin’. [...]

This week at work, my department is changing locations within the building. I’m one of three people on the team that are not tied to the phones so I moved my stuff today. They are moving the phone jockeys in shifts so that the phones are covered. I’m thankful that I’m already moved but it was [...]

1. I’m officially stir crazy. Today is day 17 that I’ve been off of work, recovering from surgery. Daytime TV, even on narcotics, is ridiculous. I used to like Oprah, but after how many years she’s been on, there’s not a lot of new content, just rehashed stuff with different people. I’m completely not into [...]

…just not moving so fast right now. The surgery was successful. My kidney will no longer kill me. YAY! The hernia repairs are pretty harsh. They’ll heal eventually though. I’ve been home for 2 days now. The pain that I expected is about 1/4 of what I have. It hurts a lot more than I [...]

I’ve been a little scarce around here lately. I’m gearing up for major surgery in less than 2 weeks. Going through all of the pre-surgical appointments, getting all the forms filled out, planning what needs to be done to get the house ready, the roommate ready, the bills paid, the important paperwork updated, and keeping [...]

I got my bonus at work yesterday. YAY! In this economy, even though we’re supposedly recovering, my company has tightened up on a few things in order to keep us going, so we weren’t really sure we were going to get our bonuses. Last time around we got half of a bonus. It was better than [...]

I haven’t been writing much anywhere lately. Sorry about the lapse. It’s spring and I’ve been enjoying it. My best friend and I have been spending Sunday mornings at the arboretum. They have miles of trails there to explore. Last weekend the bluebells were blooming, and the plum trees, and lots of other things. It [...]
