If we had talked on Saturday, I would have told you that my mother wasn't going to be on this earth much longer. She slept all day. She drank less than 10 ounces of liquid and her urine output was minimal. I was prepared for the next stage or at least as much as I...

Do you know what is frustrating? It is the lack of listening and compassion from an individual who took an oath to help care for the sick. If you read my blog on Wednesday, I shared that my mother was in the hospital and we hoped that she would be sprung. She's still...

If you have been following my blog you are aware of that my life is a three-ring circus and I am a horrible juggler. The good news is that my mom is being released from the hospital today but that entails us making a lot of adjustments and planning long term. While I...

My mother's rapid shift came to a head this weekend when she was transported to the ER where she was diagnosed with a raging UTI along some neurological issues that require an MRI that is being done today. It has been a very long 36 hours as her mental capacity...

I am becoming more aware that some of the words that flow out of my mouth should be kept in a vault. It is possible that I am going to be one of those old women who will say just about anything. Let me back up a bit. Yesterday, I dropped Luna off to "school". One of...

We have had many dogs over the years, but none as challenging as our Luna. Sure, the others had their own issues, but Luna requires a little more from us since we are her third home in less than a year. I don't know their reasons, but I can probably guess they just...

Let me paint you a picture. There once was a man who was very handy and competent in every household task that could ever arise. This same man was set to replace a dryer that decided to simply give up because, in his wife's opinion, it was lazy. Anyway, ordering an...

I love when I have an epiphany. The type of awareness that connects the pieces of the puzzle that have been missing. My epiphanies usually happen while I am exercising. It is as if the universe decides that my mind is more at peace leaving room for those "ah-ha"...
