My Sweet Prince
5Ws Wednesday Why is Ethan acting like that? Had to take my sweet, sensitive boy, Ethan, to the vet today to get his vaccines and regular check-up tests. He needs refills of his anti-anxiety medicine but I had to bring him in first. I asked the doctor if it’s the medicine that is making him… →

Real Tears
5Ws Wednesday Sometimes on Threads, there will be a post where somebody asks what celebrity death caused us to cry actual tears. I’ve never had an answer for that because until yesterday, it was nobody. Ask me again today. What celebrity death brought you to tears? Dolly Parton. There aren’t enough things that can be… →

You did good, kid!
5Ws Wednesday Why did we trust him? Remember my post about how writing is hard and I’m not as good at it as I thought? (Good and easy…except it’s not.) Well, as I explained in that post (or I think I did), I did not give up on my writing class even though I was… →

5Ws Wednesday I could easily write a very lengthy response to this question. My answer would be something about when I quit my long-time career two years ago without having a backup plan.

What’s in a name?
5Ws Wednesday I don’t have anything insightful that I’m wondering about today, so I did a Google search for: random questions that start with a W. I have some interesting answers for this one: What’s the worst name you could give a pet? Now, I don’t think these answers are the worst, but let me… →

What is he doing now?
5Ws Wednesday In the past, when I have posted on social media about my experience with mental illness, I sometimes get asked how I got through it. What did I do that helped me heal? My first answer is always that I had a psychiatrist who changed my life. I may have written about Dr.… →

Supervision in a New Generation
5Ws Wednesday What year did you graduate high school? I never should have asked that question yesterday. My supervisor and the other new person on my team were in the car headed to a work event yesterday afternoon. We got to talking about where we were from and as it turns out, she and I… →
