The Irony of Apple’s Genius Bar (and the insanity of the line at the mall)

Maybe it’s just me. I don’t consider myself technically savvy nor especially ignorant, though when it came to choosing a smartphone, I went with Apple because of it’s user friendliness. At one point, several years ago, in a moment of weakness, I had a momentary lapse in judgement and fell for a Samson Galaxy. ItContinue reading “The Irony of Apple’s Genius Bar (and the insanity of the line at the mall)”

Six Feet Under & Still Over My Head

I was a late bloomer. A couple of months ago, I started and binged the HBO TV series Six Feet Under. It was created and produced by Alan Ball who was inspired to write the show after the loss of his sister. Six Feet Under centers on the Fisher family and their privately owned andContinue reading “Six Feet Under & Still Over My Head”

Unsolved Mystery * Update * My Medical Condition

Some of you know that in August of 2019 I lost some vision in my left eye. It was like a sheer, black veil just lowered and I was looking through a dark screen, seeing only bits and pieces of what was around me. I waited a few days to see if it would getContinue reading “Unsolved Mystery * Update * My Medical Condition”

Before I Forget…

I am grateful. For many things and right now, it’s important for me to remember them. A couple of weeks ago I played with my dog, Marah. I play with her on a daily basis but this day was exceptional. I adopted her 12/5/20. She is two years old and has been given up twice.Continue reading “Before I Forget…”

Again?

Do we have to do this again? I mean, “we get to do this again!” That’s my pseudo adult “change is inevitable, growth is optional” part of my personality is telling me. At the soft, squishy core of me though is dread. Another 9/11. Another birthday without Natalie. Another milestone passing by the sides ofContinue reading “Again?”

I Guess I’ll Go Worship Satan

I mean, being a good human isn’t good enough? I’ve got people with no eyes telling me I’m blind. I’m done. There is no reasoning with people when it comes to politics anymore. It’s no secret, in fact, it’s a source of morality that I DO NOT SUPPORT trump. When I see political memes, stories,Continue reading “I Guess I’ll Go Worship Satan”

Breathe

Yes, breathe I tell myself even now as I write this. There are so many hot button issues right now and one in particular is burning my ass. Lately I’ve seen a ton of posts about people not wearing masks, their right to do what they want etc. “My opinion is valid!” They all scream.Continue reading “Breathe”

Trust

If anyone is wondering why I have trust issues, here’s an example. My daughter’s second birthday is coming up and she is very into two things: baby dolls and shoes. I’m with her 100% on dolls but shoes, I don’t cate for. I prefer to feet the grass under my feet, thank you. So, I’mContinue reading “Trust”

I Won, I Think.

In my last blog post, I talked about a Christian whom I didn’t agree with and my childish struggle to unfriend him as opposed to wanting him to unfriend me as he was the one so offended by me and my lifestyle, beliefs, everything. Every time he posted, I seethed, silently. I could feel itContinue reading “I Won, I Think.”

The Tale of Two Wolves (and which one is winning)…

All of us have our good qualities and um, qualities we’d rather we didn’t have. I am a very kind, compassionate, loving person. Not just to friends and family, to strangers as well. There is a person I used to be friends with. He and I are on the complete opposites of the political spectrum.Continue reading “The Tale of Two Wolves (and which one is winning)…”
