After 500 days in quarantine, I have something scheduled to do today. I was supposed to attend a writer's conference, but since COVID-19 is on spring break in our area, it is now a virtual event. Last year when I attended, my manuscript was only a fourth of the way...

Many blogs ago, I shared that math isn't my friend. Apparently counting isn't either. I guess that goes with math, right? Do you see my issue? So, I ordered some more of my favorite Perrier. I might be a tad obsessed. It is flavored with orange and lemon. So...

I ventured out yesterday playing the role of the delivery service for my mother. You know, since she had an emergency where she required orange juice, vodka and cream of wheat. Of course, because I don't want to go out for a while, I got additional items since I know...

Apparently, Amazon, somehow, came to understand the gravity of my coffee situation because my new Keurig arrived a day early. I didn't have to go spread my ray of sunshine to another barista this morning. Maybe the universe was sending me a subtle message. On this...

People, it felt amazing for me to vent yesterday. (For those of you who haven't read it yet, please feel free to peruse my blog entry, It's You.) It was such a release. So freeing. And the response was unbelievable. We are all in this together, well, except for the...

Yesterday, my husband braved the belly of the beast AKA Costco, and experienced empty shelves where toilet paper used to reside, and an extensive line to simply enter the building. Here I go on a rather elaborate rant. Friends, hold my coffee. You. Yes, I am talking...

During this difficult, the government wants us to participate in the Census. Kind of coincidental that our esteemed officials send this out when we are looking for things to do. I would have preferred my stimulus check or adult coloring books. Both would be delightful...

How are you all doing? I know this spending time cooped up in our homes can be daunting. Some of you are working from home while others are trying to figure out how this new reality is suppose to work. In a recent blog, I shared that each day I strive to write down...
