The one thing I did do was what I chose not to do. I took a social media break. To me, that meant no FB, no Instagram, No X… you get the picture. So from June 1 to September 1, I was free! Free from the negativity, propaganda, influencers, advertisements, and fictional stories. I was on a SM BREAK! I highly recommend it for your mental health, just not now.

COVID SURVIVOR (Part 1)
COVID SURVIVOR (Part 1) Sharp knives of light and energy penetrate every pore on my scalp. Underneath the daggers plays a constant hum. It does not pulsate. It does not waiver. It is a steady overall explosion of my brain in technicolor.
COVID – THE FLOOD (Part 2)
COVID – THE FLOOD (Part 2) I wash my hands, COVID precaution, even though I already have it. Have to be responsible. I step out of the bathroom on to my squishy carpet. Funny I didn’t notice that when I waddled in here. I walk upstairs and walk on water toward the kitchen. I find water cascading out from under our kitchen sink. I am so confused.
Covid Survivor – The Hospital (Part 3)
Continued from Part 2 Our appointment is at 6 pm. We are early. Old people are like that. I am not sure when I got old, but there you have it. We snake around the empty hospital parking lot, questioning where to go. “Are we suppose to go to the emergency room?” I weakly ask, …
COVID SURVIVOR – MY HAPPY PLACE (Part 4)
Continued from COVID SURVIVOR (part 3) When I was a child, my parents, two sisters, and I built a cabin in the California redwoods. Mostly it was my father and his best friend, Al Guerin. It is on a 1/4 acre hill lot. The cabin sits high, so you feel like you are in a …
COVID SURVIVOR – GOING HOME (part 5)
Continued from part 4 I’ve been home for over a week now. Every day I try to do something to get my strength back. It is difficult. Chris is slowly recovering as well. One day I changed the sheets. I yelled a lot at Chris. He looked scared.The next day I cleaned the bathroom.The next …
Health Care Reform
I do not even try to pretend to understand the political issues being bantered back and forth between parties, families and friends. Everyone is so heated and convinced that the “other side” means harm to our freedoms and country. With all the noise and rhetoric, I feel I am not getting an objective point of …
I’m Sorry…
I realize I’m a little slow on the uptake. I actually believe what everyone says to me. It is later, as I begin to dissect the conversation that I realize something does not ring true. Or sometimes you have to hit me over the head. Take for instance, apologies. It took me years to realize …
Know Better to Do Better
Today I went to lunch with my son. We met in a crowded place. Along the back wall was a long table with 4 tall chairs. Two friends choose to sit in the middle two chairs. I pulled out one of the end chairs and sat down. They saw us, but did not offer to …
HOUSE WINS
Last week on a business trip I read the magazine on the plane. (another small pj issue) It enlightened me on the future, our future. Imagine making arrangements to meet a friend or spouse at a restaurant for a 6 p.m. dinner appointment. You are driving toward the restaurant when you get a text message …
