There seems to be a good amount of free time floating around us. Sure, there are those that are working from home, but you will still relate to my keen observations. My home is taunting me and, frankly, it is ridiculous. I am hanging around minding my own business,...

You all are aware of the struggle that I have had trying to maintain my Basset's toenails. Come to think of it, I can't remember if I shared that issue or not. Like the days of the week, my blogs are all running together. Anyway, the vet can't do it because they are...

After my enlightening conversation with my mother yesterday, I was excited to see a special delivery had arrived. (If you wonder what the conversation was with my mother, please refer to my blog, "Two Words". You will understand why this delivery was so vital.) You...

I feel like I have gone with the flow. Being adaptable to this new reality. However, in the last few days, I am getting a little annoyed. Tomorrow is Bailey's 25th birthday. Before the shit hit the fan, I had a plan. Well, many plans of making his day special, but the...

Yesterday, I shared that I was pitching my manuscript to three literary agents during a virtual writing workshop. Let me just say, if technical issues were a drinking game, I would have been drunk. Christ. On. A. Ritz. Cracker. My first pitch was at 9:15. I logged on...
