Day 47 – Broken Shoulder Update

I've not bothered with daily updates on my shoulder because the improvement is so incremental, sometimes not at all noticeable, other times it is as if I have gone backwards with recuperation of this blasted broken shoulder. Today is Day 47 so time for a broken shoulder update! I just returned from Orlando, FL last night. I spent the day traveling and am surprised my

I’d Like Some Cheese with this Whine

I'm so sick of this broken shoulder - and yes, I would like some cheese with this whine, and you might too - it's been over a month and while it is a whole lot better than it was, it still hurts (like a mofo today) and is still pretty useless. This past Monday I was cleared by my doctor to start physical therapy. I

Covid-19 Fatigue

Day 3975 or 32, possibly Tuesday, I have no fucking idea anymore.  I've got a horrible case of Covid-19 Fatigue, and I'm sure you do too. I'm tired of being cooped up inside. When this whole thing started we were just coming out of winter which in Minnesota is about 6-8 months. It was fine at first because I could go outside and walk the

It’s All Fun and Games and then You’re Wearing the Cone of Shame

This summer has been a shitshow. Busy as ever, hot as a fuck and I swear to God I am losing my mind. The new puppy is awesome, she's super smart (can already sit, shake and lie down on command) and such a sweetie pie. She also has tons of energy and sharp little puppy teeth. Ruby has been wonderfully patient with all the puppy

I Used 439 Words to Say “Fuck You”, and Now I’m Going to Use Even More

This post is going to live up to the blog title - you've been warned. I just used 439 words to say "fuck you", but in a nice way. I posted that little status update last night. I vague booked, though I am sure everyone knew I was talking about my ex husband. Many people praised me for being pedantic and asked what I said.

The Text that Broke the Camel’s Back

I started writing this post 4 hours ago and then got an email from a client, and phone call from a client and then realized I hadn't created a newsletter for a client and remembered I had to schedule an appointment for my daughter and reschedule several other things that need to be changed due to a new appointment.... And now I have to pick

Donny and Marie at the Flamingo!!!!

OMG I got to see Donny and Marie at the Flamingo in Las Vegas!!! This was one of those bucket list items that I never thought would happen. And truth be told, I hadn't considered seeing Donny & Marie (but mostly Donny), since I was probably 12 - which makes it even that much better!! I've been attending the International Builder's Show this past week.

Stuck in the Overwhelm

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

Out of Mental Bandwidth

I'm completely out of mental bandwidth. I simply don't have the mental capacity to make one more decision - because if I have to it will be a bad one. I am sure I am not alone in this feeling of being at my wit's end, I'm sure every other person has felt this way at one time or another. However, as a single parent
