• Clean Pipes

    Today, Josh had his first colonoscopy. A very routine procedure, and yet, when they called me back after he was done, I was nervous. I have never seen him in the hospital before. I mean, this wasn’t a hospital, it was the second floor of his gastroenterologist’s office. But I was still a little anxious…

  • Yes, It Was That Good

    “Something Good” Sunday After Josh and I ate dinner last night, it was easy for me to decide on the good thing I was going to write about today. With it being Valentine’s Day yesterday, Josh cooked us a lovely dinner. He grilled filet mignon and asparagus that had a great vinaigrette/marinade type of seasoning…

  • The Support of a Husband

    Truth be told, this prompt, for me should be, describe the man, not a man who positively impacted my life. The only two men who have really been in my life in a way that could have any kind of impact are my father and my husband. There isn’t anybody else. I am not a…

  • He’s Here

    Who do you spend the most time with? It’s 2025, which means that on the 22nd of this month I will have known my husband for 25 years. Technically I’ve known him a little longer than the 22nd, still 25 years though. June 22, 2000 was our first date. The day we met in person…

  • It’s Not the Food, It’s the Company

    What is your favorite restaurant? This question is kind of like when my students asked me what my favorite song is. I needed clarification. As in, do you mean what my favorite country song is? Or my favorite rap song? Same thing with restaurants. I don’t have a favorite overall. I do have a favorite…

  • Why?

    What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. I don’t like to be asked “why?” My anxiety is back today. “Why?” Today was a rough day. “Why?” I don’t want to talk about it. “Why not?” Sometimes I don’t know why my anxiety is kicking up. And I usually don’t feel like analyzing…

  • Only Three?

    What are three objects you couldn’t live without? Three objects that I can’t live without…I’m going to be a 42 year old teenager with my first answer and say, my phone. I’m kind of obsessed with it. Which makes it difficult on my anxiety when I know I need a break from it, but there’s…

  • Unsung no more

    One of my coworkers today had another chapter to add to the captivating drama of battling her ex-husband for custody of their children. She has shared much of this story with me over the past several years. It truly is a very frustrating experience for her, to say the least. Today, her ex took it…
