Chasing Waterfalls

I have to admit that I am not terribly impressed with Mother Nature’s sense of humour these days. Nearly all the snow had melted away; there was only a bit around the deck in the back and none at all in the front. The weekend was beautiful - we drove around with the windows […]

I survived my first week back at work after vacation! It went by pretty quickly, actually. Nick (the lawyer I work with) is going on vacation this Wednesday, so he has been going nuts trying to get a bunch of stuff done. As stressed out as I get sometimes with the craziness that […]

Happy Saint Paddy’s Day!!
Three years ago today, I met the man of my dreams. It’s hard to believe that three years have gone by - on the one hand, they’ve flown by, but on the other, Neal is such an integral part of my life that it’s hard for me to remember what life […]

Unfortunately, my doctors (two women who share a practice) are ridiculously busy, and I couldn’t make an appointment before the beginning of April. I even told the receptionist […]

I made a passing remark in one of my recent entries about my IBS and how it kept me home from work last Monday. Truth be told, that was a very, very, very emotional day for me, as is usually the case when I have a “flare-up”. There really is very little that is […]

Over the fall, I did a lot of overtime at work - I worked through most lunches, I often worked an extra half-hour or hour after my regular quitting time, I brought work home a couple of times to do over the weekend and I even went into work one or two Sundays. It was […]
