Zipping Our Way Through (really AT) the Natural Bridge Caverns

In sticking with my goal of doing SOMETHING new (as often as I can) once a month I decided to use Father’s Day as one of those opportunities. WIth only two of my three kids here I figured it couldn’t hurt. We’ve all been doing the same thing every day for a while now…maybe itContinue reading “Zipping Our Way Through (really AT) the Natural Bridge Caverns”

Ctrl, Alt, Delete –

I’m a NEW MAC user… until about a year ago I was a Windows person all the way. Ctrl, Alt, Delete was a lifesaver. It’s how you “reboot” the system and start over. Clean slate.. Brand-spanking new. I was looking for the same combination on my MAC when it hit me… I need one of thoseContinue reading “Ctrl, Alt, Delete –”

I did it!

Today was THE day – I got my first round of pellet injections.. When I arrived, I was a total wreck. I was shaking so much I could hardly hold the pen I used to consent to having something inserted in my backside; something that could cause bloating, acne, and an increase in facial hair.Continue reading “I did it!”

It’s official…

So all of the test results came back and, while my levels aren’t THAT out of whack, they’re messed up just enough to make me a candidate. So I guess I’m just a little bitch- and not all the time.. 🤗 They did say I was severely deficient in B12 so I got a shotContinue reading “It’s official…”

Getting to “second base”

So the mammogram – or as I like to call it; “getting to second base” is now complete. With a history of cancer in my family; waiting on these results is nerve-wracking. You can tell yourself a million times over that you are fine, but until you actually hear the words from a professional, youContinue reading “Getting to “second base””

42 bottles of blood….

I went for my initial consult this morning. Went through the usual array of medical questions – when was your last period? 2006.. how many children? 3 do you drink? I have THREE children, of course I drink! You get the idea.. I did the whole peeing in a cup thing, they took, what appearedContinue reading “42 bottles of blood….”

Hormone Pellet Injections – because im too old for SnapChat but too young for LifeAlert.

So I, reluctantly, went to a women’s social the other day. I was dreading going the entire day and even when I parked, I seriously considered just turning around and going home. But I didn’t – I mean, I had paid the $25 to attend and, at the very least, I could enjoy ONE glassContinue reading “Hormone Pellet Injections – because im too old for SnapChat but too young for LifeAlert.”

If I Had Only…

Want to add a caption to this image? Click the Settings icon. I often find myself wishing I had done SOME things differently.. “if I had only..” 1. Tried harder in school. – One of my biggest regrets is failing to finish what I started. Sometimes life just gets in the way. But I havent givenContinue reading “If I Had Only…”

Then They Do….

I had three kids by the age of 26.. I remember being so tired I would go into the shower and cry. I worried about them constantly.. I worried that I wouldn’t have the energy to keep up with the midnight feedings or that I wasn’t paying enough attention to the boys or that I wasn’t payingContinue reading “Then They Do….”

Getting Old Sucks..

I just turned 46 years old. I’m SUPPOSED to be in the prime of my life. But I’m not. I find myself slowly falling apart.. vision is going, I forget things, and sometimes, if I laugh hard enough…well, THINGS happen.. things no one wants to know about. The Face… This face. The one I haveContinue reading “Getting Old Sucks..”
