Working from home saves some people from near death experiences.  And by some people, I mean attorneys. Okay, attorney. One attorney … for now. We have a case getting ready for trial.  You’d be surprised how seldom this actually happens.  It takes literally years for the most straightforward cases to get to trial; and cases that…

When I was in high school.  I wrote a “play”.  It was about people I was going to school with – a day in the life – and I basically took the characteristics of these people and exaggerated them to the point of ridicule.  (And I didn’t spare myself either.)  I even put it on…

Help. I’m baking and I can’t stop. Okay. That’s a lie.  I can stop and I’m probably about to – at least for a while, because we are up to our respective tits (mine set a much lower bar than my husband’s) in left over baked goods.  We have a part of a poor man’s…

I am so happy that when I open a new tab on Google, one of the 8 “frequent” sites offered is no longer my HMO!  That means I’ve been healthy enough, long enough that I’m not having to use that site often enough for it to show as a “favorite” – (something, I assure you,…

I had an appointment with my gynecologist today. (If that hasn’t scared you off, feel free to keep reading.  Otherwise, I totally understand.) I have a bump.  The bump is on the inside of the left labium majus (I was this many days old when I learned the singular for labia majora – live and…

Let’s hear it for happy endings! I finally finished all 15 seasons of Supernatural.  Whew. The ending was perfection, wrapping it all up with so much goodness.  Going to miss those Winchester boys. And then I binged Squid Game, which has no happy endings for anyone. Whew. I didn’t like it much; but it grew…

I haven’t baked since Thanksgiving – and that was just box-mix brownies. I have been meaning to bake practically every day since, but simply didn’t. But this weekend, the need to bake, the guilt about not baking (take your pick) finally got to be too much. I made peanut butter blossom cookies. Why peanut butter…

My Mom passed away quite a while ago.  I just found out that my brother Chick has her ashes.  And Chick recently contacted me and my sister Linda about what to do with Mom’s ashes. I thought she wanted them scattered at Sleeping Bear Dunes.  Chick mentioned that he thought Mom wanted her ashes scattered…

Monday. I did the weekly grocery shopping.  I choose the recipes I plan on making this week.  I make a list of ingredients I need and I add the items written on the list on the refrigerator to the list Tuesday. First thing when I get up (well, not first thing –  because first thing,…

The first lead in a musical I ever did was playing Vera Charles in the Caseville (Michigan) Summer Enrichment Program, the summer of 1970.  I had also found the world of plays – books you could read that had actual plays in them.  I was in heaven. I was reading a play during a rehearsal. …
