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 was [...]

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 the [...]

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 is [...]

Both of my parents birthdays were in the last few days. They are both gone now, but I still remember them on their days, especially my dad who was born on April Fools Day, eighty eight years ago. I have written about them before. They were amazing together. I miss their energy in my life.
Around [...]

I just had a good few days off from work.
I went to a cute little zoo that’s 25 min from me that I’d never heard of before. I took my camera and tested out my new zoom lens and prime lens that I haven’t had a chance to break in yet. I have a lot [...]

This week was intense. For as much as I enjoy three day weekends, which I had last weekend. That combined with 2 days of training the days before the weekend, and then the extra day off, made this week hellish. We also lost a really good worker due to a bad corporate policy, so we [...]

It’s been an interesting day here at Casa Grania.
First, it’s Valentines Day. I used to hate it because it was more of an excuse for my ex’s idiocy than anything. He’d do all the stuff that you’re supposed to do on Valentines and then expect me to respond by doing something that I inevitably thought [...]

Am I the only one that remembers the kid show that “EARTHSHAKE!!!” is from? Minime loved the show.
So, I live in the midwest, and we had an earthquake this morning. I live very near the epicenter, and I felt it. Every once in a while, Mother Earth likes to remind us who’s really in charge. [...]
