I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to see the end of a month. I really can’t think of a month of my life that really included a lot of unpleasant stuff. Of course, this stuff could still spill over into June – I’m hoping not.
I feel as if I’ve been on a [...]

This blog is not even a month old and here I am griping about medical issues again! I’m not even going to bother getting into specifics, I’m just mad that the month of May has been pretty much the month of medicine. That just hasn’t been my life up until now and this month that [...]

That’s the mantra I’m using right now. There has been a lot of problems in the past week, and I feel as if I keep going backwards. It would help if I could stop being in pain. This period is really testing me and has been pretty unexpected.
But the title of this entry is [...]

I saw a review for this movie awhile back, but never got around to watching it until now. It’s an independent movie about a mail-order bride who comes to rural Minnesota around 1920 or so. Because she is German, which the groom-to-be somehow didn’t know, the small community is extremely prejudiced against her. She has [...]

Well, it appears I have flat feet that, as previously mentioned, are maturing. The doctor says I have plantar fasciitis, or inflamed muscle supporting the arch in my foot. Prevention? Maintaining a healthy weight, which, again I mentioned previously. I got this sucker trying to do that! Flat feet also are more prone to this [...]

As the blogroll shows, I love watching wildlife on the webcams. I’ve been watching the Syracuse peregrine falcon pair for about three years or so. Last week, Fancy, the female, hatched four baby chick fuzzballs. Today I finally got to see them and do a count. This is the best time of the year to watch the [...]

It’s not easy to deal with the reality that you’re not as young as you used to be. I used to be able to treadmill with a 4.0 incline without a problem…not anymore. Maybe the problem was getting worse under my feet (haha) and I didn’t even know it. For the last week, I’ve had [...]

I’ve been playing around with WordPress and have customized the blog a little. I’m really happy to see the tag cloud. Hopefully, it will continue to be updated. The theme page I have is cool, too. The bridge kinda fits in with the written theme, connecting ideas and thoughts and the landscape is pretty. It’s [...]
Another new beginning. . .

From Yahoo 360 to Blogger to WordPress, I am a blogger in search of a blog format. WordPress looks a little more flexible than Blogger, so I’m trying out WordPress. Yahoo 360, which had a lot of great features, has been abandoned by Yahoo and is full of annoying bugs that don’t go away. I [...]
