Grandma and Dementia
My 90 year old sweet grandmother is changing personalities. She has some degree, or form of dementia. Whether it's full blown alzheimer's or what we don't exactly know. Yes, there are tests, many of them. She is on a starter drug that is supposed to help slow things down. Tests will follow. Grandma seems to us, the family, as if she is progressing ( Read more... ) -
A Play Again
Karen gave me a writing journal for my birthday, and I have been dutifully trying to write in it at least once every couple of days. It must be getting everything I would think of writing here, hence my lack of posts. Come January, I join her, and a few other ladies in an artisan journey of sorts. A book, The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron, is ( Read more... ) -

A Mid August Catch Up
To be honest, I just forget to come here and post. But then I think, I want to say something more than I want to be on facebook. Then I remember livejournal. Sometimes I still talk myself from posting here, then, here I am again ( Read more... ) -
Travel Prep and a Workshop
So I popped into the AT&T store the other day to make sure I had international calling during my upcoming travels. Maybe some of you have been in the store recently, maybe not, but here are some changes that I was pleased to find. And really, if my town has upgraded you know yours has. Gone are 14-22 customers milling around looking totally like ( Read more... ) -
Monday? It is Monday right?
I had a nice day with friends, all on a one on one basis. First off I shared lunch at a friends house. We made bloody mary's. I think there is enough vegetables in there to count as lunch! It was a fun time anyway. She has been good for me this year. The day I got my new car, I celebrated by driving circles around her in the movie house parking lot ( Read more... ) -
High Speed Week
I admittedly have to remind myself to visit LJ every once in a while. Much less remember to post here. The same reasons I like LJ still exist, and none of us are this revealing on facebook. I don't know why we don't play here more often, but there it is ( Read more... ) -
Easter and All It's Parts
I've been intending to write this down before the week gets away from me, and then it's Wednesday and I'm packed to run away for 4 days...Church retreat, the Cursillo weekend I first went to last year and swore then I would do my dead level best to work on the team this year. I'll post sometime next week about how that goes ( Read more... ) -
Prison History
I was relieved in a fashion to not go to church today because of work, and that's a strange feeling for me. My reason to avoid is because I'm still processing things I heard yesterday. To understand it, join me on a little history trip ( Read more... ) -
Some Movies and a side bar of guitar
I will be cancelling cable again very soon, as I'm out of the habit of watching it entirely. That flipping around the TV. No. I only had it on for the Oscars, and quite frankly, I've gotten so used to watching what shows I want to watch on the computer, I still don't go in the other room and watch ( Read more... )
