Warrior Mode
I want to talk a little bit about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which classifies people according to their personality traits. I know that some people take the MBTI very seriously and some not at all. I think the MBTI can be a useful… Continue Reading “Warrior Mode”
Plot Twist!
The story of our lives has taken a new direction. I guess you could call it a plot twist. As those of you who are reading our story know, business at EJ’s company slowed down to historical levels so EJ got laid off from… Continue Reading “Plot Twist!”
Before and After, Ending and Beginning
Just a few days ago–on Friday–we had our first snow of the year. EJ and I took Danny outside at about 11:30 p.m. and we had fun playing with the snow and the flashlights I had recently bought from Amazon. The flashlights only cost… Continue Reading “Before and After, Ending and Beginning”
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”
Sensitivity
The weather has been gorgeous all week with blue skies and breezy winds. After several cool days and frost-warning nights, the temperatures rose again into the low 80s. Still, even with higher temps, there is a strong feeling of autumn. We finished filling in… Continue Reading “Sensitivity”
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”
Storm Stories
After the day EJ and I had Saturday trying to get our beater truck up north, we were exhausted and planned on having a quiet, restful day on Sunday. It didn’t exactly go that way. In fact, in a different way Sunday was just… Continue Reading “Storm Stories”
Personality of Faith
I’ve always hated the in-between times. You know, the time between when something is about to happen but hasn’t yet happened. For example, it’s agonizing to be aware that there was a problem with JJ’s last CT scan but have to wait for the… Continue Reading “Personality of Faith”
She Understands. She Doesn’t Comprehend.
One of our favorite TV series is a science fiction show called Firefly. It ran for only one season (2002-2003) but developed a cult following. As Wikipedia describes it, “The show explores the lives of a group of people who fought on the losing side… Continue Reading “She Understands. She Doesn’t Comprehend.”
Species and Breeds
This is a more serious post than usual. Sometimes it is helpful for me to write out my deep thoughts, especially if I am wrestling with something. A few months ago, a friend hurt me deeply at a time when I did not have… Continue Reading “Species and Breeds”
INFJ Pondering
My family really enjoys weather-watching. We love to watch storms approaching on radar. Many, many times, we watch a huge storm comes straight towards us on radar but then it splits north and south and our village slides through the tiny gap between. Either… Continue Reading “INFJ Pondering”
Thoughts About Thinking
I am almost never bored because I think that even the most common things are interesting to me. I think stories about every day life are fascinating because they give glimpses into how people live. I also am grateful to those who write stories… Continue Reading “Thoughts About Thinking”
