Modern medicine is amazing, but no zippers
My husband had a nerve stimulator placed in his back about six years ago. The battery in the stimulator he chose is not rechargeable, so the battery died. Today, he had surgery to replace the battery pack over the back side of his hip. The hope was that the doctor could just disconnect the battery…

Personal Struggles
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? It is not easy to find much positive in my life this past year. My dad died in January. He was the glue that held our family together. In March, my husband had his 8th knee surgery and spent two months in…

November Craziness
I love November! Halloween, probably my least favorite holiday, is over. It is a beautiful time of year with the lovely colors of the changed leaves against the background of an often bubblegum pink and blue sky as the sun sets in the west. It is a wonderful time of year to reflect on all…

Back in 1990
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). Our first desktop home computer that my husband built was the first most expensive item we ever purchased together. I was so impressed by his ability to “build” a computer. And I was equally impressed by the cost. *GULP* Over $5000…

Blessed!
Describe a family member. This beautiful Sunday morning, as I look out the back door at this corner of our yard, my thoughts are drawn to the beauty of change, the clouds in the sky, the mostly empty flower pots, and the raised garden box, which contains one last 2-inch long zucchini that I was…

Me and Olive
My daughter is the one who started naming her cars and encouraged us to name ours. My first named car was a pearly white Infiniti. We named her Pearl. It was a perfect fit. After Pearl there was our Red Chrysler 300 named Ruby. She was my favorite car. What a beauty! I guess it’s…

So Much Love
Last night, I was making a delivery in a neighborhood I did not recognize. It seemed like several neighborhoods together covering one large area. My directions seemed to be unclear as I was driving. I pulled over to the right next to some houses and a one story small building so I could get a…

Unexpected Drive
Today, I accepted my second Amazon Flex block ever. It was a 4-hour block that paid $95. When my husband and I pulled into the lane as directed in the outdoor Amazon loading dock, I was happy to see only two bins of packages for me to deliver today. I proceeded to scan and load…

Possessions
What would you do if you lost all your possessions? Popcorn is a favorite snack of mine. The smell of popcorn makes me want to watch 48-Hours, the True Crime Show. And, eating pistachios makes me think of The People’s Court. My husband and I went through a phase of popping popcorn and watching 48-Hours…

Virtual Fulfillment?
In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? I despise (maybe too strong of a word… “dislike” is better) laziness. It is sad to see the potential of loved ones slip away in place of laziness. There is a difference between disorganization and pure laziness. A person’s house can be rather sloppy and…
