During this time of Covid-19 – aka novel Corona Virus – people seem to be experiencing difficulty with the isolation part of the equation to minimise the spread of the disease. We can only “flatten the curve” (As I have read all over the place – it seems to be the latest buzz phrase) to […]

I have been intermittent fasting for a few years now, off and on. I would fall off the wagon, gain weight, and get back on for a while. I tried, with reasonable success, to be strict, but I have to admit I would slack off a bit – I blame my husband! – and when […]

Georgia I’m finally settled in one place long enough to get an update in, with chores and errands and repairs done. I’ll catch you up on the day we left Georgia, and the travel and driving and the places we’ve seen since then. I decided to break it up into sections as one post on the […]

Well, I’m in the mix of it again! Learning medical terms, diseases, processes, pathology, anatomy, all the systems (nervous, skeletal, endocrine and all the others) and parts that make our bodies so amazing. I find it FASCINATING! I truly do! I have to say that this course is far more interesting, and easier to grasp, […]

Here’s a quick update: Sorry for the lack of posts, but due to a family emergency our little family has been unavailable for the last week or so. But I’m back and I’ve got beautiful photos to share and stories to tell and I’ll get back on track with my Blunt Talk posts as well […]

I have decided to create a new category/post type/segment/blog series called ‘Blunt Talk.” I’m going to talk honestly (thus the “blunt talk”) about the things that people want answers for, but are too scared/ashamed/embarrassed to ask. The weird things, the gross things, the interesting but slightly scary things. You know what I mean, good reader. […]

Here’s a little update on my Capsule Wardrobe experience so far! My capsule wardrobe, it works! It’s made my life a lot easier. I know exactly what I have to wear and I waste no time choosing it in the morning. Even when I include my workout and dog walking clothes, my capsule item count […]

Capsule wardrobe fiddling   I did it! I overcame my natural instincts to cling to everything, to hang on to everything “just in case” and to keep things that are sentimental or that someone gave me and I felt bad giving away. I did another mighty clothing purge a week ago and got rid of ANOTHER […]

And in this adventure story, there will be hurricanes, DNA results, surgeries, Lyme disease, new old cars, a road trip to the rural South of Georgia, new opportunities, broken things, fixed things and lots and lots of boxes. First – the hurricane. If you are even vaguely aware of the weather around the world, you […]

Saw this article on reddit and thought I would share it. Alzheimer’s is a nasty disease/condition. It would terrify me if I was diagnosed with it, or if someone I loved was. I don’t _think_ anyone in my extended family has ever been diagnosed, but you never know – it could go undiagnosed or simply […]
