Yes, yes, I miss you terribly. The old folks are fine, in their way, and many are even interesting in that they’ve found real meaning in their crone-ness, but THIS old one seems to still gravitate towards the energetic and young of the species, so here I am - still can’t post a bloody picture [...]

Allergies are kicking my butt, however. Always happens when the seasons change. Nothing, prescription or non-prescription helps. It’s not constantly a problem, but several times over the course of a day - maybe five or six - I have a really violent sneezing fit. Really cute when I’m in a business meeting. I should retire. [...]

I’ve gotta tell you - I HATE-HATE-HATE this new blog format, and still can’t even begin to figure out that whole complicated process for inserting a picture! Whatever made them change over to this, anyway? Is it supposed to be BETTER? Well, maybe it’s better if you’re computer savvy and all that, but I’m afraid [...]

Okay. At first I wrote this in a PAGE. What’s the difference between a PAGE and a POST, I ask you? The PAGE didn’t publish even though I clicked the “publish” button. We’ll see what this does (or doesn’t do). Well, I have a few pictures to post, but don’t understand how to do it, [...]

at work, and then off to Sis’s for a week or so. We’re driving, as you know, so we might opt to stay a few extra days. We’ll see. It seems important to have a few days to wind down on the other side of the trip before going back to work, so we may [...]

My kids are growing up. Well, they’re all grown up, if I have to be completely and painfully accurate. And, any of you who have even a passing familiarity with this here blog know that I love my darling offspring very, very much. BUT, I am just now realizing - perhaps not exactly in epiphanic [...]

Kinda, sorta. I AM in a slightly better frame of mind than I was yesterday; it was hot and humid during the morning and early afternoon hours, but a late afternoon thunder storm seems to have cleared things away, and tonight it’s actually rather pleasant - even without the AC on, miracle of miracles! I [...]

Yeah. That’s me on the far left, alright. This is the reson why I could never, ever, EVER live in Florida, y’know? I am sooo intolerant of humidity, and it seems like so far this summer, we’ve either had rain and gray skies or sun, but with about 95% humidity to go along with it. [...]

REALLY! And yesterday, too! And Monday too! I am no longer depressed. DH & I did a lot of housecleaning chores Monday morning and then went to Regatta Point on Lake Quinsigamond (only a stone’s throw from our house) and did a brisk hour’s walk followed by an hour on our beach chairs, reading and [...]
