The New New Doctor
Usually I don’t walk down to the mailbox in the late afternoon but last Friday I decided to put a couple of things in the mailbox to be picked up the next morning. I didn’t want to miss the mailperson and have to wait… Continue Reading “The New New Doctor”
The Dog Pooped and the Cat Peed
Today sucked. If fact, the suckiness of the day cascaded, ending with the dog pooping and the cat peeing, but I’ll get to that later. Yesterday a couple people said, “Just find a new doctor. You don’t have to waste time or energy giving… Continue Reading “The Dog Pooped and the Cat Peed”
The Forest At Night
Late Sunday afternoon the younger Gravel Guy and his wife delivered a trailer filled with potato stones. Potato stones are rocks that are about the same size and shape as potatoes. They are great for allowing water to drain through them without causing erosion.… Continue Reading “The Forest At Night”
Stones, Clouds, and Turkeys
Our cat Timmy sometimes likes to sit on our headboard, mostly at night when we are sleeping. The problem is that he starts to gnaw on it, which wakes us and isn’t good for the headboard. In fact, I now wake when he first… Continue Reading “Stones, Clouds, and Turkeys”

Late Friday afternoon the Gravel Guy brought another 15 tons of unscreened top soil. EJ talked to the Guy for quite some time. Apparently the reason our driveway erodes so badly is because the previous owner used sand, which is cheaper but which easily… Continue Reading “Mind Full”
An INFJ and the Doctor
Yesterday I had my New Patient Appointment at our new doctor’s. I am the last of the three of us to have my NP Appointment although I have gone with EJ and JJ to their appointments at their requests. I think the doctor is… Continue Reading “An INFJ and the Doctor”
Meltdown
Friday EJ’s sister and her husband brought their Mom to visit us. Their Mom really wanted to see us and our new house but she is old and in poor health, she tires easily, and the drive is quite long, so they didn’t stay… Continue Reading “Meltdown”
PTSD
Tuesday morning Danny asked to be let out, so I let him out and then went to get my shoes on. I don’t like to just leave him out by himself too long because I don’t want him wandering off and getting lost in… Continue Reading “PTSD”
Battles
Last week we had several coldish, rainy days. I like both, although I imagined the rain water nibbling at our driveway. The driveway is the only less-than-perfect thing about our new house. Everything else we absolutely love. It would be nice if we could… Continue Reading “Battles”
