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. [...]

Today is Saturday. I got up early, had an awesome, healthy breakfast with a dear friend. She is an employee of a national tax prep place, so she also does my taxes, at a greatly reduced rate, for which I’m extremely blessed. They were done and filed before 8:30 this morning. I owe a few [...]

I haven’t been around much. I’m going through kind of a writing hiatus as much by choice as out of necessity. Don’t worry though, there are good things going on.
I’ve been working hard at losing weight, and also working at trying not to get discouraged at the lack of speed that I’m used to for [...]

Sometimes life happens and I don’t have enough energy at the end of the day to write anything but a recap, but I don’t really feel the need to recap everything, so here’s the short list and a new-ish musician that i’ve just discovered:
Barfy cat is barfy again. She’s not as bad as before, but [...]

I’ve been a little busy so here are some random things that have gone through my head in the last few days.
Meip Geis died yesterday. Anyone who knows the story of who Anne Frank was knows who Mrs Geis was. She was 100. This is from an interview that she did with a group of [...]

We were very blessed at Christmas. I got all the usual perks from the guys that I work with, and my family seems to have caught the gift card bug. One of the gifts that Minime bought Roomie was a gift card to Amazon. He looked around on the site and didn’t really find anything [...]

When I was little, nearly 40 years ago, there was this god awful nutrition drink called Tigers Milk. It was horrible. It’s the source for my absolute gag reflex on anything that’s liquid and/or gritty, and/or malt flavored. The can looked like this but bigger. Mom bought the 5 lb can. The can sat on [...]

Wednesday’s blood test results are in:
Total Cholesterol 183 – anything under 200 is excellent
Triglycerides 88 anything under 150 is excellent
My HDL is 38. LDL is 120. It needs to be closer to 50 and 100 respectively, so the ratio is a little weak but Doc’s not worried about it. Overall numbers are low enough that [...]

Whew, time’s flying. Im in the midst of a very busy couple of weeks. Next week coming up is our national training meeting at work, then the next weekend is prep and the trip out to see minime and HeWhoIsYetToBeBlogNamed again. Then the weekend after that is the family party where part of the celebration [...]

Really, but I haven’t had much time/energy to write lately, so here’s a few random thoughts:
I feel good. I started treadmilling on Sunday. Two days on, one day off. One mile a day to start with. I’ll up that as I feel ready to do more. For now a mile is enough. It doesn’t kill [...]
