The Year in Review – Sort Of

I have been a horrible blogger this year.  So horrible that when I sat down to write about my goals and whatever, I went back to read my post on reflections from 2013 and found that I hadn’t written one. In a larger context,… Continue Reading “The Year in Review – Sort Of”

#YesAllWomen

Compared to most women over on Twitter right now, I have exceptionally little to complain about.   I have never been raped.  I don’t walk around with any serious fear for my physical safety.  I had kind of chalked it up to the fact… Continue Reading “#YesAllWomen”

At the Bar

To begin at the beginning my boss, G,  and I were at a conference in Boston last Spring.  One night, we went to dinner with some colleagues from our member companies and someone that was not me thought it would be cool to have… Continue Reading “At the Bar”

I’m Calling It

I think it is finally safe to say the Winter is over.   File under “Grateful”.  (Watch it start to snow now.) The residual trauma for me came out this weekend as I spent every free minute outside: Yesterday, I woke up early and… Continue Reading “I’m Calling It”

Part of my short term treatment is self-administered shots.  Not pleasant.  They are the same shots, actually, that I gave my mother a couple of years ago after she had surgery.  To prevent the condition that I have now, incidentally.  I remember having a… Continue Reading “Perspective”

Diagnosis

It started with a surgery that is a story for another day.  Sunday morning, six weeks post op, I went downstairs to let the dogs out and open the bird room as I do every morning.  Suddenly, I felt light-headed and went to sit… Continue Reading “Diagnosis”

Sorta Checking In

It seems I have been neglecting my blog. I have three books and two plays to write about.  There is the story of my dogs being sick that isn’t quite funny yet.  (They seem to be fine now.)  And there have been several parrot… Continue Reading “Sorta Checking In”
