Ain't technology great? As most of you know, I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.  First, Vickie brought me a computer and set it up against my wishes.  Didn't want...

I've had a lot of time around the house since I lost my job.  Plenty of time to really take a good look at things.  And I've come to a realization,,other than being a slob, I'm a pack rat.  It...

Feeling a little nervous about finding a job.  Guess I was spoiled last time.  Before this job, I had gotten laid off on Monday, December 5th,,,applied for unemployment on Tuesday,,,got a job offer...

A very dear friend of mine is going "private".  Their journals will no longer be available to her friends or any one else.  Another person has photos in their section that are private.  I could...

I've been released by my doctor.  He said he's very happy with my progress.  And with pretty good reason.  Four weeks ago when I saw him, I had to use a walker.  This time, I used a cane.  I...

It's amazing what can happen when you're not thinking.  Early this morning I let Foxy out to do her thing in the back yard.  As usual I stood on the top step at the door leaning on my cane.  She'd...

The signs were there this week.  Monday was the last day I used the walker at work.  The rest of the week I used a cane.  Went off all pain medication including ibuprofin Thursday.  It still...

Things went pretty fast Saturday.  First, I got a call from Vickie saying she was just outside of town on her way to help me move furniture.  Told her I didn't know she was coming and she told me...

It's a sad time at the call center.  Things are winding down in preparation for closing.  You can't help thinking about the people that worked there.  At it's height, there were 400 people in the...
