I hate making decisions. Ask my dear husband and he’ll readily confirm. All those pros and cons to be weighed … and the constant anxiety of whether or not you made the right choice. So this weekend the auditions for Oklahoma are being held at Bay City Players. To audition or not audition? Shit. I’ve…
Okay. Happy Valentine’s Day and I love you guys, all that shit. This isn’t exactly the post I imagined writing for Valentine’s Day, but here we are. I have a lot of recipes on my computer. I lovingly typed each one in. Some are from family recipe cards, some are from cookbooks, but most are…
I did it! I made it a year without falling on my fat old lady ass (or onto any other part of my fat old lady self, for that matter). I don’t know when it starts (because I’m old and can’t remember), but at some point, every year the doctor’s office starts out your appointment…

3-D as in all three parts of my right knee are fucked up. Shit. Plenty of blame to go around. Going up and down those fucking stairs at Pit and Balcony when I did the Wedding Singer. Being on high dose of prednisone which masked the symptoms of the damage I was doing. Being a…
Went to visit my sister at the nursing home today. They have a fairly advanced system for tagging visitors. You stand in front of a machine that takes your temperature, your photo, asks who you are visiting (unless you’ve been there before, in which case, it uses facial recognition to match you to the patient…
You know what I made for Thanksgiving? Reservations. My sister Linda is in a wheelchair. My sister Linda recently had her hip replacement replaced. For some time, the prosthesis in her hip was shedding bits of metal and her body had an immune response and all hell broke loose in her body – it’s called…
Lest you think the Halloween spirit is not alive and well with me!
Remember when I used to love Prednisone? Well, that was before I found out what big doses over a couple of months can do to you. Let’s see, side effects include: Blurry and double vision, sores in mouth and sore tongue, huge blood glucose swings (350+ to 40 DAILY!!!). runny nose (after eating and any…
