I blinked and it's Thanksgiving week. How the hell did that happen?! The past two years have truly been a blur, and I definitely wasn't having any fun. Yesterday was the most Friday-feeling a Monday could be. I spent the entire afternoon confused about what day it was and what the damn time was. Genuinely … Continue reading Out of Time Blues

Yes, I still feel the way I did yesterday. Have a good one, folks! 🙂

Hello, everyone. It's been a minute, and the reality is, I've been sick for over a month. 😦 I haven't had any real energy, and I've struggled with not getting enough sleep and then getting too much sleep, if too much sleep is actually a real thing. <Sigh> According to my body, it isn't. Fighting … Continue reading Pre-Thanksgiving Jitters

Wishing every one of you the start of a lovely holiday season. 😁 Thanksgiving is EXTREMELY controversial, for obvious reasons, but I remember family gatherings and I'm missing a LOT of people today. Thankfully, I woke up to messages from my brother and my best friend, who is the sister I always asked for. … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving 2019

This pretty much sums up every day, at least for me. I have amazing friends, which is an incredible blessing (I'm not too shabby, either. 😉 Some of you are extremely lucky to have me.). I have a handful of family members who value me. I've got people on my side who respect me, care … Continue reading Let Us Be Grateful To The People…

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is having a lovely day. So far I've made probably the best stuffing, EVER. I also roasted peppers for a salad I will be making while the stuffing bakes in a little while. Sounds like "no big deal", but I've been working on all of this since yesterday when I chopped up … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the United States. There is much history behind this holiday (I currently live in Massachusetts and you can't escape people talking about spending the holiday in Plymouth. I've never spent Thanksgiving at a restaurant; I've always participated among family, cooked it myself, etc.), but for me, especially this year, this … Continue reading Thankful, Grateful, Yet Pissed Off

It is the early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day here in the States. After spending hours preparing stuffing yesterday (which I highly suspect might suck today), I ended up with a highly stressful day which resulted in a migraine. That then turned into insomnia, which is the only reason I am awake at such an … Continue reading Struggling

Hi everyone! I know this isn't a typical visiting experience at the moment, but I assure you I am doing my best. When you're caring for a post-op heart patient, every single day blends into the one before. I likely wouldn't know it was Monday if I hadn't intentionally bypassed Friday and Saturday's normal routine … Continue reading My Apologies

I decided a few weeks ago to forgo all the "traditional" Thanksgiving Day fare. I did not relish the idea of dealing with a turkey when a good half of it would end up in the garbage or making stuffing because I made it last year and there is simply NEVER enough stuffing one can … Continue reading Overreaching
