Yesterday was a busy day. It started early with a trip to the veterinarian with one of our kitties, Eli. About a week ago I noticed a scab on his belly. It seemed like overnight it was swelled up with infection. Eli was uncharacteristically grumpy about being touched; he expressed his feelings about being handled…
DetailsWell, this last week certainly has been challenging. I knew I would be needing a new cell phone in the near future. Mine is 4 years old, and has been getting slower and slower over the last year. A couple of weeks ago, it started freezing up. The screen would just lock and I couldn’t…
DetailsI don’t pay much attention to politics. When I do, I just end up getting frustrated and stressed. My tolerance for chaos has always been quite low. I’m not sure why. Maybe it has to do with being raised by older parents. My mother was 40 when I was born, and my father was 53.…
DetailsA few weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me my opinion about CBD Hemp oil. I had to admit that I really didn’t know anything about medical marijuana or its constituents. I told her that I would look into it, and if I found it to be an interesting topic that I would write…

DetailsLast year finished up very nicely. Everything was pretty laid back, both at work and at home. I decided to jump fully into selling Essante Organics, which means that I created a Facebook page to talk about all the wonderful products they are making; my page is called Quintessential Organic Living. They are a small…
DetailsThis week has really been a test of my resolve to take things in stride. My workweek was so incredibly busy that I was exhausted at the end of every day. Normally, I would try to do some small things at home after work, but it was not possible this week; and being tired…
DetailsSometimes, when heading towards something new life seems to speed up; not always, but sometimes. It sure has for me, but I got to share in more than my own new chapter starting. In the last couple of weeks, not only did I start a new chapter but my daughter and my stepson have both…
DetailsChristmas has always been my favorite time of the year. There are so many great things about it like all the pretty lights that take away the sometimes dreary feeling that the lifeless looking trees, lawns, and fields can cause. And the sentiments of goodwill people share with others. I especially enjoy boughs of evergreen…
