Meandering Monday about What It All Means

I’m not very good at life – or being human. I often joke that I’m not human – the joke goes one of two directions, either my being an Immortal (due to my damnably undeserved good health), or as an offshoot of a StrengthsFinder survey, which showed me to have the following five skills – … Continue reading →

Fluky Friday: Fortune Forgotten?

So – this week (the week that was supposed to be full of new hope – well, at least relief – because I was NOT one of the unfortunates who were laid off), we are greeted with: The reemergence of the dishwasher leak (actually, they didn’t repair it properly.)

Faltering, Festive Friday: In My Prime

I grew up in New England, and I’m not into sudden change – I prefer gradual changes, and being able to count on … Continue reading →

Fidgety, Festive Friday: Feeling Frightened?

So, here we are in the HOLIDAY SEASON, and Kim Jung Sequel continues firing missiles and making threats. Hasn’t he heard about PEACE ON EARTH, and all the other SEASON’s GREETINGS? We could ask the same about the Iranian Mullahs, the Isis remnants still struggling to be relevant, and a host of other ne’er-do-wells. No … Continue reading →
