The other day I thought about my husband, but this time it was different.  It was like reading a book or watching a movie--a life lived, but not my life.  I'm forgetting the sound of his voice, his...

Back to my temp job.  New assignment starts tomorrow.  Temp jobs are just a better way to go.  I think I will stick with it.  That way I can be off in the winter and not end up driving through...

After much consideration over the weekend, I turned in my resignation today.  I  told them the truth as to why I was leaving: Hearing problem.  I have a  speech discrimination problem  that...

Age discrimination--the problems of our time.  You hit 50-something and you become the invisible person.  Employers don't want you.  Here's the thing.  Now I know why.   You see I was blessed...

Husbands birthday this month.  Dad giving me problems.  New job.   Friends.  Dog. Eye problems.  Alone.  Fear.   Sunny weather.  Bad weather. Life. Death. Getting through the good and bad...

I call it a side affect of losing my husband.  As a child I used to enjoy horror movies.  I could sit in a dark room, all by myself, and not even have a problem with it.  Mom was a horror fan too....

Good ole' dad thought he'd torture me again.  I've been telling him that he needs to eat, that he's getting skinny.  He insisted that he hadn't lost a pound.  So, I started cooking for him, only...

Call me Mrs. Anxiety.  I was always one of those worrying types; always looking at the negative and never the positive.  As a teenager I thought it was funny.  I used to say if there was a two...

My new job is fun and interesting.  It's not the highest paying job I've had, but whatever I earn is mine.  It's not like commissioned sales where the earning potential is off the charts, but you...

I start a new  job tomorrow.  It's different industry, but related to sales.  It's with a temp agency.  I had an offer to do in-store demos at the same time and it paid more, but that position...

I spent the day hanging out with a friend.  Later I went online to apply for jobs.  No sales.  I'm tired of trying to be something I never will be--an extrovert.  I'm a proud introvert in a world...

I quit my job today.  Today was my last day.  A wonderful feeling.  I'm gone.  No unemployment because I quit, but I'm free.  Life is too short to live it for someone else.

I haven't woke up yet.  This is all a bad dream.

People in my life die young--mom, play sister, uncle, husband, and my son-in-law.  My step-daughter had the sort of marriage that I thought would last into old age.  It seems impossible that a...

Okay.  When I got the dog I knew there was a chance that I'd get locked out of my house.  I mean--I'm in and out all day with the dog, hands full.  In winter this wasn't a problem as I kept my...
