I don't know if the impending snowstorm and Polar Vortex that is expected this week, the lack of sunlight or what, but I've been stuck in the overwhelm for a while now. I know I am not the only one who feels this way. I know most people are experiencing some level of this, I can see it on social media and on the faces
Yes, I am still here! It's been two months since I wrote anything, I think that's the longest I've gone without writing on this blog. Of course I've been writing a ton for my other work, which coincidentally is sort of why we're here today, I was recently terminated from it. Unceremoniously, and without cause, and without compensation for some time. It's ok, I hated
Finally!! After months and months of thinking about doing this, I finally made a video for my cat to watch! It seems like a small enough thing - making a video of birds eating bird seed, but it was actually a really big thing to do. We got Navi, the Bombay cat last December a few months after Dini died. Navi is a 3 to
One of my goals this year was to eat healthier and to cook more often. That's hard to do with a picky eater and opposing dietary concerns. Between my daughter's allergies and my low carb lifestyle I was falling into a rut of menus so I decided to try Hello Fresh. Is Hello Fresh worth it? I wondered that too. Their ads fill my social
It's getting to the point where I really wish I'd seen Star Wars back in 1977 instead of, or maybe in addition to, You Light Up My Life, For the Love of Benji or The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training. If I had, this review of Solo: A Star Wars Story, might have more context. On the other hand, it turns out it doesn't
Dementia is a soul sucking fiend, there is just no way around that fact. My mother had dementia and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Which is of course what it would do. Dementia doesn't get better. It just keeps getting worse. My mother suffered brain damage from anoxia back in 1970, she was 29, (you can read more about her demetia here and
Once again I am thankful for this little blog because I get to see movies like Avengers: Infinity War before anyone else. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to be invited to see the latest Marvel movie, this is my review of Avengers: Infinity War. Full disclosure, like the recent Star Wars movies I reviewed, I have not seen most of the movies that preceded this
Around these parts we play fast and loose with "use by" dates and expiration dates. I've got a roast in the freezer from 2003. It was my fathers and when he died in 2006 there didn't seem to be any reason to throw it away, I just haven't had an opportunity to cook it yet. It's wrapped well and I suspect when I do get
If you think the Facebook data breach doesn't affect you, think again. Today I got an email solicitation from a company that from the looks of it is like a payday loan service for companies. I get solicitations all the time, but this one was different. This one mentioned the name of a client for whom I provide services. I provide blogging, social media, marketing
This is my Love, Simon review. Last weekend my daughter and I went to see Love, Simon, it's a coming of age movie, almost John Hughes- esq, based on the book Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. In fact, I suspect, Love, Simon will be one of the movies that defines this current teen generation. Love, Simon might very well be The Breakfast Club of Generation
