Dumpster Diving and ADD
It wasn’t the champagne I swear. I hadn’t even started drinking yet. I’ve had so much to do in the past week, planning a get together at my apartment which I have not done since arriving home from Spain about 12.5 months ago. It would seem my ex-pat to re-pat re-integration from Spain to the […]
Take a bus and buy your own pee cup?? Wtf?

Well….Jorge and I arrived at the Alicante airport for a 6 pm 75-minute flight to Porto that goes through Madrid.. Easy […]
A One Pickle Night
What does that mean? Insomnia. I keep waking up at 2:15 am. Not 4:15 not 5:15, but 2:15. What the heck? I’ve tried melatonin, hot teas, meditation, and a few medications not mentioned here. What happens when I can’t sleep? I wake up and pee, get back in bed, and lay there. Then the mind […]
Wine a little you’ll feel better…
Ever just pull out the wine in the middle of the day? Not when you’re at work though. Unless it’s celebrating some event with the teachers in the school, where I worked in Spain. Wine during a school day… Some cultures have all the fun. Yup, it’s a whining day and so I will wine […]
Champagne Anyone?
I did it. I was staring at an expensive bottle of champagne the other day. No way was I gonna spend a $100 on a bottle. Ide rather get it in France where it will probably be cheaper and the view 1000 times better. As soon as I got home, I jumped on the computer […]
I Need Some WD-40
My travel trigger finger seems to be getting stiff. I already have arthritis but for some reason when pursuing travel sites nothing has excited my finger enough to hit “book.” This is very unusual for me and downright abnormal. Maybe some WD 40 will lube it right up and cure the stiffness, Every place […]
Ass Backwards
The official definition of Ass backward is doing something in a manner incongruously or preposterously counter to what is customary, probable, or feasible. Ever get to the gym and see you have your workout shorts on backward? Or the tag on your shirt is outside and you find out later no one ever told you? […]
Oui Oui to Me
Warning this post is longer than usual…. So my trigger finger was activated and I went to Brussels and Amsterdam. A cheap flight popped up on my phone and I grabbed it. $600 round trip is cheap for an overseas trip. Plus when I was living in Spain it was the tail end of Covid […]
Endings and Beginnings
I saw a little dead bird on the 5th-floor stairwell today when I went to climb the stairs. I remember this bird or at least one that looked just like it a few weeks ago that was trapped and kept flying into the glass windows that enclosed the stairs. I tried as hard as I […]
What’s on your Bucket List?
You know, bucket lists are valid no matter how you fulfill them. At least in my book. So, I’ve been back home about 7 months now, yet it feels like forever some days and other days like a day. I miss my friends in Spain, I admit it. I really miss walking everywhere, popping into […]
