Have you noticed how much more comfortable looking women’s golfing outfits are now than they used to be?
Maybe it’s because Tiger Woods refused to wear knickers on the men’s tour, or perhaps the LPGA itself figured out that those little skirts were just silly, but when I see golfers like Solheim Cup Captain Betsy King […]

It’ll be so good to get back to singing.
The girls are coming here Saturday for quartet practice.   I’ve been singing along to the CD for a few days now, and I think I’ll have enough wind to carry my part.
Whether practice is worth anything or not, I’m excited to get to see everybody again.  […]

I’m not too hard to figure out. Pamper me, tell me I’m wonderful, and give me lots of presents, and I’m generally a happy camper.
A new company has presented me with a free sample of its product, and it couldn’t possibly have come at a better time. The company is called Freeze It, […]

What a nice couple of surprises!
My computer must have been feeling sympathy pains, because it decided it no longer wanted to play nice with me at all.  Simply turning it on was taking as much as 20 minutes; by then, I was too tired to sit up and write anything, or even try to check […]

One major obstacle down, one to go!
Taking a sponge bath just doesn’t cut the mustard for me.  Try as I might, I simply don’t feel clean and refreshed after rinsing myself off in a bucket.  I need a bath.  A nice, long soak in water hot enough to turn my skin red.  With bubbles.
Obviously, slipping […]

It’s been a few days since I’ve posted anything — A, because sitting up for too long just plain hurts, and B, because I’m so out of touch right now that I haven’t had much to say. So here are just a couple of random thoughts:
Nine-Eleven falling on a Tuesday again brought back a […]

I guess if you’re going to break your pelvis, you might as well do it while there’s something good to watch on television.
I’m a huge football fan — high school, college, the pros, it doesn’t matter –  and now that the season is officially under way, there’s almost always some game somewhere.
An interesting game this […]

As you already know, I have five dogs.  My broken pelvis has had an interesting effect on each of them.
First, Buddy, the tiny little mini-weiner with  the great big attitude, has decided that his full-time job is to protect me from all threats, foreign or domestic, real or imagined.  He is so funny.  You can […]

While I was in the hospital, the Patient Advocate (fancy word for the social worker, I guess!) signed me up for some financial assistance from the state.  She went online to do it, and ever since, I’ve been getting phone calls from people wanting to sell me health and-or term life insurance.
Usually, telemarketers make me […]

Today was a much better day.
First, BJ got more hours at work because the bowling leagues are starting up again. That will help pay some bills!
Second, the mail held some pleasant surprises. Thanks, Colleen, for the lovely Get Well card. It really picked my spirits up.
Third, my sister Ruth brought me a […]
