I kind of love going to the store. This wasn’t always the case. It used to be such a stressful time, when my kids were babies and we were struggling to make ends meet. Now, I still lament the cost of things to my (adult) kids who just say, “it’s inflation mom!” But I don’t…

I really love to run. Also, by running I mean jogging. 😛 When I was younger, I could never run very far for very long. I was involved in sports a little bit during high school, but nothing that involved extended periods of running. In my 30s, I decided to try a 5k along with…

One of my favorite places to visit is anyplace with books. And if they’re free, that’s even better. This past week, I was able to visit my new neighborhood library, and it did not disappoint! I found two books that I have been looking forward to checking out- Mexican Gothic, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and The…

Favorite things to wear… right now, where I live it is snowing. I love sweater weather and here we are… but also I recently moved, and while we’re making progress, I still have a lot of things packed up. And I realized that somehow after paring down my wardrobe again and again, I have one…

I am grateful to be able to say that I have a lot of favorite people these days… My kids. My boyfriend. Family and friends. But my patients are right up there at the top of the list, too. My coworkers. And if someone would have told me 13 years ago, when my ex-husband left…

I can go both ways. At the beach- sand, waves, the sound of the ocean. Looking out to see boats in the distance, dolphins, the ever-so-slight arc of the earth. And then, the mountainss- little creeks, trees, critters in the woods. The green surroundings that are so calming to the soul. Yeah, I’ll take both.…

I’m a simple gal. It doesn’t take too much to make me happy. Give me someplace with coffee. Like, really good coffee. Not from a big chain, give me the local one. That’s my number one favorite. Does this spot also have books? Perfect. I’m there. Some of my favorite coffee bars where I live…

I haven’t thought about this one in a while… but I think more than anything I want to give people the impression that I’m kind, and that I care. My natural tendency is to take things too seriously, so another thing that I try to impress on people is that I do indeed have a…

I don’t actually have a cat. But I am feeling like I have a long-haired, white cat at this very moment. Let me explain: We’re moving to a new rental property, upgrading from our second floor apartment to a townhouse (end unit, close to a park, very walkable area). We’re renting because, although I’ve been…

The most expensive item I’ve ever purchased has been my nursing license. I’m considering not just the financial aspect, but also the emotional and physical aspects as well. Nursing is tough. I went into it mid-life, during a pandemic that no one saw coming. I love my job and my patients though. They make it…
