About Me

I'm kind of old,but I usually don't feel that way. I'm a fairly recently displaced wife and mother who had to step-up and "go with the flow". (That's one of the few good things about being kind of old though; it gets easier to go with the flow...) Anyway, when the time came to go back into the job market,I packed up and moved out west, where I could make higher wages working as a nurse and send $ home to the mid-west. I had the pleasure of sharing an apartment with one daughter ( Emily) and when she went to live in San Francisco I had the pleasure of sharing a house with my other daughter ( Audrey)after she graduated from culinary school. I had a great job that I loved working with a Persian population at a senior health care facility in Sunnyvale Ca. It was nice living close to my girls as well as my pseudo-son Ferras who's down in LA, but it came time to come back home to Il. and spend this year with my darling baby boy (Jess) who's graduating from high school in December. And oh yeah, I'm going back to school! It's all part of the ever changing nature of things and I was ready for a change. It's going to be a great year...

And I lived to tell the story...

Yay, I'm ALIVE! That's the refrain that repeatedly drifts into my head as I go about my days lately. I recently had a close call. Here's the ugly story; I finally had my surgery for the hideous sinus ...

Blaahhg

It's Monday night and I've got the blahs...don't know why exactly, it could be a number of things. I should be happy and contented sitting here in front of the crackling fire, but no, I'm just blah. M...

A perfectly good pair of shoes

So...It was Saturday, and we'd been trying to get to a movie for weeks. After the big moves things were finally starting to settle down. Sometimes a movie can be the perfect place to just unwind. It's...

Bye-Bye Crate...

I've moved out of the crate. I'm writing from my FABULOUS new rental home that echoes when I speak. I knew I would be moving, but didn't expect to have such a grand abode. Here's the story; Baby Boy c...

It's another evening in the crate for me I guess. I'm feeling guilty at the moment because I didn't swim today...but my sinuses are SCREAMING. (No prednisone = no sense of taste or smell and screaming...

Self indulgent blather

Maybe if I write, I won't eat. I'm just coming off of a giant round of prednisone and I've suddenly turned into Elvis. 16#s in 2 months have somehow found their way onto my already somewhat over-endo...
