The Ladies of Hive have a question of the week each week for the last 173 weeks. That sentence is mind-boggling; they should be given a prize just for that! Each week, I read the question, and most weeks,

January 26 through February 6, 2024 Ten days is a long time to go anywhere. It is a long time to visit someone. As it turns out, it was the perfect amount of time. During the first few days at @Brisby's

My Roommate January 25, 2024 I got to go to @Brisby's house. I needed to get away; I needed some time to do nothing. I know we all need that time. We all pray that someday life will slow down enough that

Hive is my happy place. I come here to write the stories floating in my head. Some of those stories are happy. Some make you think. Where have the stories gone? One might be thinking. It's been quiet here

I informed God my last straw broke upon waking. My mind and body decided to have a breakdown today anyway. My dishwasher broke for the second time in a week. I am living on three hours of sleep. Don't

Another month goes by, and I have yet to write a post. Life has been a whirlwind, and I am exhausted beyond the pale. My mom made it to her new apartment, but her lack of excitement took me by surprise.

I am still alive if anyone is out there wondering. My Mother has been staying with me for the past six-plus weeks while waiting for her house to sell in Florida. God willing, if all goes as planned, a

It's the little things...

The beginning of this story I wrote five years ago. I have rewritten the story to make it easier to read. I will be working on the next part of the story. I am reposting the first part because five years

I have too many stories swirling in my head. Some of them will stay unpublished. Some are just depressing. While I do not find anything wrong with writing about how you feel, I know for me right now; I

There are days when you just need a friend to talk to. Someone that knows you well enough you can leave your guard down and just be yourself. I am very lucky. On Hive, I have a family I know I can call

Sometimes your fingers are swollen. Sometimes it hurts to move your hands. Sometimes you get angry. You use your hands for everything. You have much to say. You know how much each letter will cost. Sometimes

A few weeks ago, I was awake in the middle of the night. I found myself on YouTube looking for something to help me sleep. At times like this, the more dry a subject is, the better I will drift off to
