I can't believe it.  I've completed my goal to complete Duolingo Spanish.  It was a long time coming, but worth it.  When I started my journey, I had just expected to learn a foreign language....

I will be finished with Duolingo's Spanish course in about a week.  That means I will have achieved the completion of my first New Year's resolution.  Can't wait.  

Decades of making New Years resolutions and dropping them by early March, so this is a first for me.  I've completed 50 percent of Duolingo Spanish.  I'm reading simple books, watching Spanish TV...

Just finished studying Spanish for today, but my heart was not in it.  It all started when my dad's doctor said to have a colonoscopy because dad was diagnosed with colon cancer recently.  She said...

Back to learning Spanish.  This time I'm using a free app called Duolingo and my goal is to just finish it.  I'm 22% done, so pretty happy with the progress.  I'm totally stuck on this new genre...

What's that old saying about lemons and making lemonade?  Well, I'm doing my version of that.  It started when I ended up with my Dad's dog.  I'm on a fixed income and had no idea how I would feed...

Was depressed going into Christmas, but my spirits were lifted when I went to Christmas Eve midnight mass at a Catholic church.  For some reason I just wanted to go this year.  I haven't been...

The state has stepped in and will make sure my dad is in a safe, secure environment.  No more worries about what is to become of him.  It was a tough decision to just leave him in the hospital, but...

Another brick wall regarding my dad.  So, the hospital transferred him to a hospital that is for people with mental issues, including dementia.  Since I don't have his power of attorney they can't...

Going into 2nd week since dad went to hospital. They placed him in a mental unit to access his issue.  I haven't called, haven't been to visit.  I don't know how he is doing.  It's the hardest...

I had to leave my father in the hospital due to his mental illness.  The hospital wanted to discharge him back home and said they could do nothing for him.  And they could not force him into a care...

Well, I went to social services(again) and told them about my dementia/schizophrenic dad and they said there is nothing they can do.  Dad is living alone, falling all the time, and canceled his...

I'm going to get up at 7 in the morning and make some delicious lemon orzo soup.  I'm using the slow cooker, so I won't be able to eat for 8 hours.  All during church it will be cooking.  My mouth...

My cable plan expires in a few days.  I called the cable company and was told my new plan would cost me 200.00 a month and that's without a phone plan.  So this reminded me of when I was a kid in...
