I'm Not Whining
Every "win" for me may seem trivial to you, but for me, they mean I have conquered battles that others don't see. The fights I have with fibromyalgia, grief, fixed income, and old age are all too real in my world. And I'm not special at all because I know others have unseen battles, as well. So, this is for you, too!

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's difficult to know how to start this. I've suggested that it's been a tough one from my title and in many ways, it has; however, there is an argument that it's not been that extraordinary at all, merely this wonderful thing we call "life" with all its climaxes and pitfalls.

Beating the booze
'Beating the booze' may be an exaggeration. All I have done is to come up with a new approach to cutting down my alcohol intake. Why? Am I a drunk, an alcoholic, a problem drinker? No, to at least two of these questions and 'not really' to the other. I will admit that I drink more than is strictly healthy so that, from time to time, I make attempts at cutting down my alcohol intake. Some are quite successful... for a while at any rate.

A Moment of Calm at the Farm with a drowning wasp !
A pig slept on warm hay, as if the world stood no chance against its slumber. Its back was turned towards me. His safety was never questioned. But who am I, and should I ever be trusted? It doesn’t matter because that pig had a safe home and would never be evicted. Eaten, but never evicted.

The Outlier
The smallest victory I ever saw in a university happened on a Thursday. If that sounds like I am making a shrine of it after the fact, that is exactly the sort of dishonest inflation professors are good at when we want our own memories to come out looking wiser than they were.

Clean, Not Always Tidy
There was a time when housework was simple. You saw something that needed doing, and you did it. Cleaning was a task. Tidying was a habit. Order was something you could create and maintain without thinking too much about the cost.

Stranger Unaware
It was a lovely Spring morning, and the manager of the Waffle House was there early, cooking breakfast, in Camden Delaware. It was his job, along with other things, that comes with managing a restuarant like this. Many people think, a manager of a restuarant does paperwork and sits in his office just handling customer complaints and managing the employees. However, not at the Waffle House, they are expected to cook, and manage the employees, and do the other managerial duties of a manager. It was an ordinary morning, and he was pouring waffle batter, putting sausage and bacon on the grill, and the aroma filled the air, with the appetizing odors that draw customers in off the highway.
