Monday evening I don’t know what made the difference but I had a lot more energy this afternoon. Maybe it was because I didn’t work at the hospital today. When I come home from work, I’m pretty much tied up in knots and stress can be exhausting. At any rate, I told about my gardening […]

My Square Foot Garden: It’s Growing!
I’m beginning to see some real growth in the garden. Isn’t spring exciting? Now that we’re moving to the end of the month of May and are close to June, it’s not long until the first day of summer. Just a little over three weeks and it will be here! I’ve already been having cilantro, […]
The Raw Vegan: Part CXXI, Aftermath
The horror of the day would never end. Some people thought it was more personal for me than it really was. My phone rang off the hook with calls inquiring about DD’s safety. Time after time, I would say, “She’s fine. She isn’t in New York yet. She is still in California. Her flight is […]
My Week: Car Repairs
Sunday I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time. Whenever I have to get up to go to the bathroom, I go back to sleep but last night, I went back into a deep sleep. Unusual and very welcome. I hope it continues. It was a stay-at-home day which is always […]
And the Giveaway Winner Is…
As promised, I went to random.org and put in the number of qualifying entries—a whole four. There was one other entry that wasn’t vegan and I heard from that person after the deadline about taking out the offending ingredient. So…the winner is Karen! I’ll be emailing you, Karen, for your mailing address so I can […]
The Raw Vegan: Part CXX, Living in Suspense
The next few weeks proved to be tense at work and at home. The threat of the hospital closing and my DIL’s shaky pregnancy was making life very stressful. It was all I could do to make it through the day with a modicum of sanity. I had to push myself to go in on […]
My Square Foot Garden: May 16, 2010
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That means this post is around 8,000 words… I found a teeny tiny cherry tomato today! The onion patch also contains romaine, arugula, a tater plant my neighbor planted, parsley and cilantro. I think that’s all. I’ve been having arugula and cilantro in my salads and […]
My Week: Living with Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde
This week has been so messed up I haven’t even attempted a daily update. I can pretty much remember how the days went because so much of it centers around Twinkle and her many moods. She has been thoroughly traumatized by her recent experiences and I don’t know if she will ever recover. I may […]
The Raw Vegan: Part CXIX, A Happy Birthday
It was edging into July and I had been invited to DS1’s place for the 4th of July. My granddaughter’s birthday is on the 3rd so I went down on the 4th Eve so I could be there for her special celebration—the annual fireworks display at the university. On the way, the odometer in my […]
An Awesome Rawsome Mother’s Day Giveaway
It’s just by chance that it’s a Mother’s Day Giveaway. Honestly, I didn’t plan it this way. It just happened. You don’t have to be a mother to enter. You don’t even have to be female. You just have to play by the rules and who knows? You just might win! This is a very […]
