While I sit here trying to process the news of Betty the White’s death, I thought maybe I should just try to sum up the year while I’m at it. We lost Betty White today. She was an absolute legend in entertainment. She was hilarious, groundbreaking, and all in unassuming sweet packaging. That was partContinue reading “2021 is OVER”

The Pandemic Diaries: This Was Not How This Week Was Supposed to Go………..
Living with my mother is usually fine, but it’s often also very frustrating. The transition from senior citizen to senior citizen who is unable to take care of herself is slow and painful and this week, whether it is actually the beginnings of that transition or if it’s something else, has been jarring, triggering andContinue reading “The Pandemic Diaries: This Was Not How This Week Was Supposed to Go………..”
The Pandemic Diaries: Normalcy
Hey, it’s been awhile. There’s been a lot of good news. Since Joe Biden took over the presidency we’ve seen progress and haven’t had to spend so much of our lives glued to the news wondering how low we can go as Americans. Not saying Biden is perfect and we should DEFINITELY hold all ofContinue reading “The Pandemic Diaries: Normalcy”
The Pandemic Diaries: The Wall
I think the idea of the emotional wall has been going around recently, especially now that we are coming up on a full year of dealing with the COVID pandemic. A lot of people have hit this wall. We are all going through different aspects of this and we are all dealing with it differently,Continue reading “The Pandemic Diaries: The Wall”
The Pandemic Diaries: Milestones
As I sit here with a heavy sadness on my heart, I guess I just have to write it out. And ride it out. I woke up today, forced myself to sleep in (I even turned my alarm off and *still* woke up at 6:59 am) and my day started like any of my daysContinue reading “The Pandemic Diaries: Milestones”
The Pandemic Diaries: The Week Before XMas
Ready for some brutal honesty? I am having a hard time. I am at the lowest point I have felt in a really long time. I don’t even want to talk about COVID because we all know. At this point we can all be sure that any of us who work with the general publicContinue reading “The Pandemic Diaries: The Week Before XMas”
The Pandemic Diaries Volume IX
*sigh* Dude. There are a lot of people who are feeling relief, hope, joy, I don’t even know, right now in this moment. When the election was called for Joe Biden last Saturday, I cried for a moment, woke my mom up with the good news, then sighed and went back to the feeling ofContinue reading “The Pandemic Diaries Volume IX”
The Pandemic Diaries VIII: The Election
Hey, it’s been a week. Or a year. I don’t know. September felt like the longest month. October was also really long. This last week has been forever. All I know is that none of us have slept well, our bodies are aching from all the stress we are holding onto, and we don’t dareContinue reading “The Pandemic Diaries VIII: The Election”
The Pandemic Diaries VI
As of this post, the world has surpassed 1 million dead from COVID-19. The United States leads with 205,000 deaths. We all know that both of those numbers are underrepresented. Mr. Trump’s tax returns were leaked by the New York Times showing us what we already know. He’s a fraud and he paid less taxesContinue reading “The Pandemic Diaries VI”
