I was tired today, just felt drained, but did the usual chores, the usual research, some paid posting and walked down to buy more Diet Pepsi since Aubrey drank it all. I should have done laundry but I didn’t feel like dragging the washing machine out. I’ll deal with that tomorrow.

First, yes Miguel it’s 3:16 a.m. and I’m still up (lol). Day three was similar in many ways to Days one and two so I won’t bore you with the regular things. It was a little better today because my friend, Kate, picked me up and we went to Wal-Mart (yes, I shop [...]

No, I’m not talking about a version of A Day Without A Mexican though that was a very good movie. I’m writing about day one without my husband being here. He’s left before for a day or two when he’s gone to visit his relatives in New London, but this time he’s gone [...]

When we first moved in to this house I thought it would be much easier with the hard wood floors to avoid what was necessary with pets and children in our other residences, having to use a steam cleaner to clean carpet several times a year.
That is true, however what I didn’t stop [...]

There are certain words that when you think of them, a story comes to mind. Take for an example, carports, most of you would think about how they protect your vehicle when you don’t have a garage. To me? Two things come immediately to mind, the sound of hail on a metal [...]

I’m the tech person in the house, so when my husband could no longer play his one computer Army Combat game thingy I did some troubleshooting only to discover it was not the drivers as some had suggested, it was time to look at new video cards for the computer. Unless, one fix I [...]
