This week has been a rough one, but there's still signs of the impending season change all around! In fact, as today was the first day I felt like I was somewhat sentient, I had to tend to some very overdue

Okay, I don't know why Tears For Fears songs are present in my brain band frequently, but they really are easy to do a bit of wordsmithing with! Anyway, I have somehow lost a week of my life, I can't believe

Near the end of winter, I get all sorts of flighty. Well, maybe flighty isn't the right descriptor. Antsy might be better. There's always work to do around here, but the desire to get cracking peaks right

And through the woods, and across the lake, and into the snow, and under the rain... Let me tell ya, the last forty-eight hours have been a journey! Friday the hubs had an appointment at the VA in the

To be honest, as I was discussing with my Ma the other day, I have never known what it is like to feel good. A common phrase I uttered in my childhood was, I don't feel good. Not that I let that slow me

Okay, aside from Monarda, AKA Bee Balm, AKA Wild Bergamot, I have had a ton of other stuff on my mind too. That's just a normal day for me. Recovery is progressing around here. The hubs and I are just

A cold snap is nigh, preparations are engaged!

This week has pushed me to my limit. I'm not going to wax in a whiny tone about it all, as I believe that will do no good and deflate my already low mood, but let's just say I have experienced more death,

Today, I started back to classes for the spring semester. I did so after having my life turned absolutely upside down this past week. I also just did seven hours of coursework while caring for an ill family
