Merry Christmas to all my LJ friends.
It's been a difficult month for me to get through with the loss of my Mother, I haven't sent out any holiday cards, given any gifts or any of that kind of thing. I've basically sat around and wallowed in my grief (just like I'm doing now).
But I wanted you all to know you're in my thoughts and as I read the ( Read more... ) -
Sad news...
Four years ago my Mother had a serious stroke causing all sorts of difficulty in her day to day life. She was admitted to one of the area's best nursing and rehabilitation centers. They got her to the point where she was up and about, getting around on her walker like nobody's business. Then, over this last summer, she fell and broke her hip. ( Read more... ) -

I also am very aware that I am the longest single remaining homeowner here (yeah I know, big whoop-dee-doo). BUT, that gives the Mexican's living across the street from me no right to have parties with loud music, fireworks, screaming ( Read more... ) -
Arghhh... Insomnia has me, again!
Seems like there's a night every couple of weeks where I wake up WAY too early in the morning and just cannot go back to sleep. This morning it was at 1:40-ish. It's now 4 and I've done everything including laying in bed with my eyes closed trying to go back to sleep, reading, got up and had a mug of warm milk (that never works, but it's ( Read more... ) -
