What Day Is It Again?

I have a tendency to lose track of time. I will frequently work through lunch because I am just not paying attention to what time it is. I also will occasionally completely forget what day of the week it is and operate as if it is a Tuesday when it is really a [...]

Be Prepared

I have two kids.
One is very outgoing.  My son has never met a stranger and makes friends wherever he goes.  I swear he knows every child that goes to his elementary school and all the staff members as well.  He performed on stage in front of 8000+ people in a giant hockey arena and didn’t [...]

Stab This Stabber

I’m very stabby today.  In fact, I’ve been pretty stabby the last few days.  I’m not exactly sure why.  My lack of awareness makes my husband crazy.  All he knows is that I’ve been a raging bitch and he is powerless to fix it.  All I know is that I am in a constant state [...]

I Know People

I do. I know people. Specifically (and much to my surprise) I am on a first name basis with folks down at our local professional sports team. Let me explain.
I receive 2-3 phone calls a year from the Local Pro Sports Team. Usually the calls go something like this:
Hello Kim! [...]

Eleven O’Clock … Where Have You Gone?

I have to say that there is one thing that I miss from my first couple of weeks post-surgery.  Insomnia.
Before my surgery I would never could have considered myself a night owl. I didn’t really stay up late technically, but I have always had a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep.  I just chalked [...]

Random Question of the Day

Because I think of weird crap like this sometimes.
(Disclaimer:  This question is PURELY hypothetical.  I swear to God.  But as I was showering this morning I thought …)
…. say you are a girl considering getting a bikini wax for the first time ever.  Is it better to a) trim up a little bit, b) trim [...]

A Monday Pick Me Up

In honor of the fact that I’ve received two handfuls of phone calls already today that were either hospice agencies calling to tell me about patients of ours that have passed away, or patients themselves calling to tell me that they had horrible and painful and nauseous weekends … I need a smile.
So .. first [...]

Who Is This Person?

This will be my last (and only?) post surgery update or whateveryawannacallit.
Those who know me know that I was a miserable old bizatch before my surgery. I was having daily pain, which was making me stabby and mean and ugly and depressed and all kinds of other not-myelfish. I had read from other [...]

Friday Randomness

Today is my last week day off of my medical leave.  I have to go back to work on Monday and I really, really, REALLY don’t want to.   My last day at work before surgery I was certain that I’d be bored out of my mind and would be so ready to come back [...]

Clementine

As in: Lost and gone forever, oh my darlin’ Clementine.
J and I had great plans for today.   We were going to go to a local park that is heavily wooded and “walk in the forest” and possibly “play in the river.”
Then the neighbors pulled out all the stops and Jamison was sucked into an [...]
