… and my heart still aches. After fracturing and dislocating my left ankle and needing surgery—less than six weeks after fracturing my right leg—I had a choice for follow-on care upon leaving the hospital. Everyone recommended I go to rehab (i.e., a nursing home), but I chose to return home…

Note: I’ve had the best intentions of finishing the cliffhanger post, but every time I come to the blog, I get sidetracked with the design… as you can see. So… the right leg healed reasonably well. I became officially bootless on July 24th or thereabouts—at least toward the end of…

It didn’t happen when I retired. It didn’t happen when I started getting Social Security. It didn’t happen when I started Medicare. Nope. It happened when I fell.. and couldn’t get up. In my defense, I had been drinking wine. In fact, I was on my way to the kitchen…

Continue reading →: I Haz Pikturz!Here ya’ go! I downloaded Paint Shop Pro 2019 this weekend. I went with the full version vice the upgrade since 1) the old PSP isn’t on this computer and 2) it wasn’t much more expensive. And it’s still cheaper than Photoshop Elements. Maybe Ps Elements is better, but I…

Remember that book I was reading with the atrocious grammar? I finally finished it. I’d picked the book Heroes & Ghosts, specifically because it had 535 pages (nearly twice the number of pages these types of books usually have) so that I’d need to read only one more book—and a…

That’s how I spelled “oops” for many years. I recently came across it again when reading a self-published book, and had to laugh. The book has hundreds of errors, including my #1 pet peeve, then for than. But in this case the author also consistently uses than for then. And…

…Three to Go Goodreads tells me I’ve met my reading goal for this year—or rather my personal reading goal. Then again, I aimed low, aiming for 50 books. AT least that’s double last year’s goal. I can’t take all the credit, though. It’s mainly the result of the three challenges…

The azaleas are in bloom! So the dogwoods can’t be far behind. Because I’ve been hermit-like in my hidey-hole too much this spring, I was surprised at all the beautiful color when trekking (ok, driving) through a wooded area yesterday. I should not have been surprised. My best friend and…

This blog needs some fresh blood, yeah? So how about a new theme? That’s the problem. There are so many themes available on WordPress.com, it takes a long time to sift through them to find just the right one. I end up spending so much time trying to pick a…
