Time flies when you are having fun and time drags you down when you aren’t. I suddenly realized I haven’t added a blog post since I lost my firstborn cat. And what a year it has been. In the middle of the COVID pandemic I lost my job. It was for the best and IContinue reading “Time Flies”

I am heartbroken. Unlike the passing of my ex-husband, saying goodbye to my OG kitty earlier this week was heartbreaking. Take my breath away and ugly sob so her sweet little head was soaked with my salty tears heartbreaking. I wanted a pet for years, but I couldn’t have one because I travelled so muchContinue reading “Saying Goodbye”

This week one of my favorite shows launched a reboot. Sex and the City used to end every episode with those iconic words – And just like that. Through the years I have said those words – or a variation of them including “Well that just happened.” I received a phone call yesterday telling meContinue reading “And Just Like That”

Yesterday was a red letter day. I am sitting at my computer in my kitchen before 7 am. No coffee yet, just basking in the memory that was yesterday. The day started out normal. The animals woke me ridiculously early. I woke up, fed the barbarians and fell asleep on the sofa. I woke upContinue reading “Emerging From My Cocoon”

Dating in a pandemic is tough. I am not hip enough to have virtual dates. And quite frankly, the camera puts on 40 pounds. 😉 So touch is something I have been missing. I am a bit of a survey, trial junkie. Yesterday I went to see if I could qualify for a study forContinue reading “Touch”

We all have a mirror. Not the one in your bathroom or your compact. It’s the mirror in which we view ourselves. Sometimes it feels like that mirror is stolen from the fun house at the local carnival. Inaccurate. Unflattering. Ridiculously flattering – how did that happen? In fact, most of the time it isContinue reading “The Mirror”

Let me begin by stating outright – I am so blessed to have these first-world problems, and I have to laugh at some of the “problems” in the last few years that made me mad as hell: My acupuncturist moved away. When someone is sticking needles in your face, there is a lot of trust,Continue reading “I’m Mad as Hell”

Mishpucha is a Yiddish word for family. Not the family that you were born into per se, but the family that you choose. After so long in pandemic lock down, I was thrilled to have my mother come to visit me a couple of weeks ago. While it was only three days, mom is alwaysContinue reading “Mishpucha”

I am full of contradictions – as are most of you I am sure. But when you have to spend several hours each day talking about yourself, those contradictions become incredibly vivid. At least they do for me. I hope those contradictions don’t peek their head out during the interview process. Let’s just concede thatContinue reading “The Yin and Yang of it All”

I was listening to the Rob Lowe podcast Literally yesterday and Oprah was his guest. It is a great podcast, by the way, but one thing about that episode has stuck with me. Rob asked Oprah about things she has learned from people she has interviewed. Oprah shared her deep and abiding friendship with theContinue reading “When Someone Shows You …”
