Drama and a much-needed weekend reprieve

Lawd whoee – what a stress!

I’ll tell you this, it’s heartening to know that SO many people want to be an authority on the fyr … I’m famous! Wewt!

I apologize to those who might have been working up the courage to comment (again?) and found that comments are now closed here – the reason is a sudden upsurge in the bitch content of my life which I am trying valiantly to quell and exterminate. So far, it seems to be ..read more

Death isn’t the only way to lose someone you love

Earlier this week, I did something I know I had to do and had been putting off for weeks because it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do – I surrendered a pet to the post animal shelter.

Since then, I have asked myself over and over whether it was necessary and whether I was a mean person for doing it. Each and every time, I have ended up feeling like the scum of the earth despite the answer ..read more

Cooking Thanksgiving Dinner for the first time

So, my husband turned to me last week and said (and I quote) ” Wanna cook thanksgiving dinner?”

It prompted a complex set of emotions:

Excitement: at the “project” aspect ..read more

where’d the days go?

All of a sudden, I don’t have time anymore. I get home, I do chores – well some of them anyway, and then it’s time for bed.

Speaking of which, I am beginning to regret – just a little – not ..read more

bereft

I looked it up.

It’s apt.

I am bereft.

Hubby just left for a 2 week course 351 miles away. It is our first separation since being married. It is the first time I am going to have to do without him for more than 24 hours since last March. Exactly a year ago, I was getting ready to fly back to Jamaica to complete the visa processing.

Ironically, I received my green card in the mail on Friday too.  And on a side ..read more

kittehs on a thursday morning

So, I am eating my cereal, catching up on mails, reading blogs (yes, I DO read them) and both Nala and Bear are up on the desk beside me. As usual, little miss busy-body is being schizoid as usual, chasing air. And then all of a sudden they both start chattering and doing that staccato movement thing that looks like stalking. It’s a bird and he’s right down below the window and they are entranced. They don’t even budge when ..read more
