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 […]

3 times a charm? Or an Omen?

So I came home from work the other night and it wasn’t dark yet. I pull into a space close to the gated door of my building. I look up and what do I see? Someone has crashed into the wall surrounding the complex. I know I moved into an old condo complex, and I […]

Do you know where your pipes are?

So I went out of town to bask on the beach in Cozumel for a weekend. It just happened before a deep freeze swept Texas. I stepped off the plane and it was colder than a well-digger’s ass outside. I got home and despite leaving the heat on it was too late, my kitchen faucets […]

A place to live finally….

Well, it’s been a while since I wrote. That air mattress I bought came in handy as did the camping chair. No, I didn’t end up homeless in a campground but I know my family was taking bets on how long it would take before I did. Well, it’s been over four months since I […]

Im in Used car Buying Hell

Buying a car in rip-off hell. Since getting home buying a car has been hell. Used cars are up some 40% in the past 2 years.  4 years ago I bought a Nissan Rogue SUV 2 years old for 17k with 20k miles at 1.5 % interest over 5 years.  It was new as far […]

Traveling Alone

Things are never like they seem So people wonder why I travel alone sometimes.  It’s because I like it. I like the challenges, I like to figure shit out for myself. Sometimes I run into issues, but most of the time things go almost according to plan. Sometimes. But in truth, if I screw up […]

Bubbles from Heaven

So I took a trip to Turkey, Istanbul to be exact. I chose Istanbul because it was cheaper to go there as a long stopover and since Ide had never been there I thought it would be fun. And yall know me; any chance to travel to a new place, especially someplace somewhat exotic was […]

Tiny Tiny, Wait, Wait

Rental car hell. So as part of my self-inflicted trigger finger wish lift, I decided a while back to go to Germany. The Black Forest to be exact. I was aching for someplace with pine trees and cool breezes to escape the heat of Spain and calm my mind before going back to the US. […]

Some days it sucks to be me

So, I have to have certain medications to remain un-crippled and un-blind. What does that mean? I have Rheumatoid arthritis, (RA)   Sjogren’s,  and glaucoma. And I’m a cancer survivor as icing on the cake.  I was lucky enough to make a horrific decision to marry an asshole. 18 years later I got ass cancer. Go […]

The goodbye kiss

So, my last day at the school was very emotional. I was to be in five classes of 4th and 5th graders that are about 7- to 9 years old. I should know how old they all are as I have class lists of all the kids, their names, and ages.  But I don’t look […]
