It’s funny how fast time passes. I keep thinking that I should write this or that, and by the time I sit down to write, I have no idea what all of those ideas were.
In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been to a birthday party, and a renaissance faire both in Wisconsin, a college trip [...]

I was reading last week and I came across a couple of profound thoughts. This one stuck with me though.
Home isn’t a place, it’s a time.
We all have a time when we felt at home. For me it was as a young child at my parents house. As I grew up, that would change, but around age [...]

The summer is always a bit of a ride, this one is no different. Except for this weekend, I can’t say that I’ve been exceptionally busy, but I’ve been on a bit of an internal trip that I needed to take a break and listen to.
It’s 8 weeks now since the surgery. I’m about 90% [...]

I’ve had a pretty laid back day. My best friend came over for our Sunday morning walk, which today was around the block, and not 2 miles at the arboretum. She’s going through a really hard time right now, so we talked a lot, and played some video games. I don’t know if it helped, [...]

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 [...]

It’s 2am on Father’s Day. I woke up in an/anesthesia induced sweat bath. I had a lot of it in 7 hours of surgery 11 days ago. I’ll be sweating it out for a couple more weeks if history repeats itself. They say it takes a full year for the liver to process all of the [...]

My surgery is in 3 days. I’ve spent the weekend resting, recharging, and getting the last minute details taken care of. I still have some things to do but while laundry is going I thought I’d check in here.
My knee is much better. We went hiking this morning and I went shopping after that. 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 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 [...]

When I was a little girl, I used to dream about my dream house. Turns out I was living in it when I was growing up, with a couple of exceptions/additions. I didn’t know that then though. We had 1/2 acre (double lot) in the city, and not the country setting that I imagined. The [...]
