Grrr! I HATE it when people make assumptions. Why does everything have to come down to gender and or race? BLARG! I care about people but I am really getting tired of dealing with other people’s sensitive natures while my own cares and concerns are just… trampled on. I know, I know. I say it […]

I had something wonderful happen today. After the “I don’t know how to deal with this nastiness” that I wrote about yesterday, my co-worker made up for it in spades today. This co-worker is my polar opposite. He said “thank you for helping me.” It wasn’t gratitude, which makes me grit my teeth like I’ve […]

I wish, in some ways, I could stop starting these as “It’s been an interesting week.” But, as always, it has been. My sister and I made some headbands for masks for our dear friend who is a nurse at a nursing home. I wanted to share. We deliberately chose white fabric, so it could […]

It’s been… odd. I’ve been editing Willow for a couple of months now. 1) I can’t believe it’s taking me this long.2) I can’t believe how bad my writing got while I was “Away From Writing As an Author” and why the hell I thought it was good enough to publish last October. I’ve reread […]

So, today, among all the craziness going on, I had something very, very odd happen today. Someone I met online, not on FB, I had enough in common with, funny wise, to prefer the chat system in FB instead of where we were. This was months ago. I told him what I was about, what […]

Tonight, I spent a lovely evening in deep meditation. While that may seem boring to some, my heart is lifted. I don’t share what I meditate about very often. The details have meaning for me. I know they wouldn’t necessarily make sense to someone else. I feel a genuine need to help what is going […]

I have to laugh right now. I’ve been home from work for… oh, about an hour. I’m working on a new game called Survival: Geese. Yes, you read that correctly. This is day 5 of design. The rules are done, except for final play testing. It’s the board and packaging I am… well… you’ll see. […]

Ok. That peace of mind didn’t last, but it was a wonderful vaca. My sister laughed at me because I couldn’t write about murder, death, and mayhem. She suggested that I use the peace to think like a serial killer. I laughed my butt off, but she was sort of right. They really don’t think […]

Ok. I am not sure I have ever run into this particular problem before. I am too at peace to write about murder. Scratches head. At the end of the most violent time in my life, I used to sit on the edge of my best friend’s torn up, twin sized bed, with his sheet […]

I started Smashed Potatoes as a book, actually. It was originally called Living with Terminal Cancer. My surviving my mother and her disease. It got me thinking about a lot. This blog, for one. If you research on how to deal with grief, loneliness, and sadness online, you will find generic self-help. The same tips […]
