If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I’ve been having these little anxiety attacks for two days. They started yesterday, the official day that Sky turned 18. I know that it is most likely related in some way, although how, I’m not quite sure.
I operate […]

I stopped thinking about politics.
I started thinking about ways to earn money instead. I found myself abandoning sites like TruthOut and reading Dosh Dosh as an unlikely alternative.
This all sounds very selfish and all, but it has worked out for me rather well. I’ve made several thousand more dollars than I would have […]

Such serious things my kiddos contemplate.
Sage got home from day camp and watched a Scooby Doo movie. After the movie, he turns to me and says, “Life is going by really fast. Soon I’ll be grown up. Then I’ll be a grandpa and then I’ll die. And I know what it feels like when […]

Really, if I had wanted stunning before and after pictures, I should have taken pictures of the apartment before and after cleaning it. I thought about it, but decided not to, because after all, you all don’t really have to know what a disgusting piglet I can be when it comes to housecleaning, right?

Oh God.
You carry a child in your body, birth it, and you are so happy if the child is healthy. The thing is, it’s too soon to sigh with relief and relax.
Your child could go on to develop schizophrenia. Perhaps your child triggered it himself, through the use of various and sundry hallucinagins, […]

There’s certainly been a lot going on lately. The moving, the painting, installing, etc. is definitely keeping me busy. And, I am still blogging. I just sold Bloggrrl, bringing the total I’ve made off of that blog to about 4K. I’ve made an additional three thousand or so more doing paid posts on my […]

AFTER
This may not seem like a big deal, but I am so proud because I installed the air conditioner by myself! Well, Sky helped me lift it into the window, but I took out the old one and got this one set up. I decided not to install central heat and air because 1) […]

We’ve made things too complicated in this country. At least, it is for those of us who like the “natural look.”
The first challenge was finding a house that was made out of things like real wood and glass. Done. It has hardwood floors. Kinda.
Most of the floors are beautiful. However, there is carpet […]

Margaret was talking the other day about how sad it is when blog friends drop out of our lives. I’ve certainly experienced the same. But a few of you are still here, and right now in particular, that means the world to me.
You see, there really isn’t anyone I can talk to about what […]

Oh man.
I called up Sky to see if he was ready to go out to eat, and he asked me if he could come over instead. He sounded bad on the phone, and I got really worried. When I got there to pick him up, he was a mess. Turns out he took 6 […]
