This strange new routine, set up by no one but myself, has my internal clock messed up. I can, should I so desire, stay up until One AM listening to a good book. The Virginian and Cumberbatch reading Sherlock Holmes are my latest guilty pleasures. No need to be at work, ready to go inContinue reading “Day which?”

The previously mentioned sofa is gone and in place is my desk. It was hard, but time. Books are organized and ready for researching my two novels in the works. Unfortunately no heat or plumbing but lights and music. Also no internet so I can hide away from the world while social distancing. The viewContinue reading “Summer Cottage”

I had to share this. What a great tale of a major career change. Perhaps in these troubled times there shall be more of us reassessing our current situations and pursuing our dreams. With luck we will all be better for it. Here is to the Joeys and the Mikis of the world! Onward andContinue reading “A great tale”

Almost 19 years ago it came to light that my adorable husband had a cousin he had not seen in years, living just North of us. I was soon swept up in her love of Easter. Her small house, crammed with local nephews and nieces and cousins was full of joy and great food. SheContinue reading “Day of communication”

I am very goal oriented. Get me out raking leaves and even if the blisters show and the shoulders ache I will finish the square of leaf covered garden to which I committed myself. It is who I am. However. There is a goal that escapes me continuosly, no matter how hard I try toContinue reading “Day of Accomplishment”

The summer cottage is vacuumed, aired out, and ready to receive me. De-cluttering still needs to be exercised, there, as well as in the house.

Being clean and organized is not easy with four large rescue dogs, onContinue reading “Day of reckoning”

New Hampshire did not allow sole proprietorships of brokerage companies. Discovered these photos while doing some digging for an article. These are from Tricked OutContinue reading “Days gone by”

While the benefits are incredible, working at home does have some drawbacks. My husband is semi-retired and also works from home. Fortunately, he usually doesn’t come downstairs until lunch time. Mornings are mine. He is not used to having me trying to work while he is on the phone or working on his computer. OnContinue reading “Day twelve”

Ramblings of the unemployed. Monday, my self appointed day off. It is absolutely gorgeous. A spring day bonus in March. The time change has no effect on me. I will not be late getting up or late to work. What is this stress? Perhaps days off are not good for me. Maybe it is theContinue reading “Day eleven”

Wow, double digits! Years ago, a very dear friend said she realized that where she was in life was as good as it was going to be. Wow, that depressed me. It seemed so defeatist! She was doing OK. Government job, adorable house. Then, everything turned upside down and right side up. She fell inContinue reading “Day ten”
