Today is a new moon, and Saturday is the first of October. The world keeps turning. My passport arrived in the mail. Hopefully, I will hear from my caseworker for my visa appeal sooner than the 14th. Wish me luck! I’d really like to see my husband. My final post-op doctor’s appointment went well. I’mContinue reading “Time Keeps on Slipping”

Under the Hot Weather
As August comes to an end, I’m having a terrible bout of sinus issues. I never had allergies before I started spending long stretches of time in the UK. Now my nose can’t seem to acclimate to England’s weather OR Louisiana’s. A most unfortunate development. Lots and lots of water and some meds are myContinue reading “Under the Hot Weather”
Cramping My Style
I considered not saying anything about my upcoming surgery then realized that I absolutely would if it were for any other area of the body. Why should I be so cruel to part of my body just because many others are? Nonsense! I’m having a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus, fallopian tubes, and cervix) three days hence,Continue reading “Cramping My Style”
Don’t Sweat It
During the two weeks my husband was here, I got to play tourist in the city. We had po’boys, jambalaya, chicken and sausage gumbo, red beans and rice, fried catfish, bread pudding, Popeye’s chicken, doberge cake, Abita Amber, and many more delicious things. Yes, eating is a major part of enjoying Louisiana. We also ateContinue reading “Don’t Sweat It”
Summer Rain
It’s Pride Month, and yesterday was World Environment Day. As I’ve said before, let’s take care of each other and the world. It’s here for all of us. We’re all just people trying to live our lives. I wish more people would live theirs without feeling the need to step on others. Looking at theContinue reading “Summer Rain”
Mer-Mays and June-icorns
May is wrapping up, making way for June. It’s already in the 90s in Louisiana, so it may as well be summer as far as I’m concerned. We’re just waiting for the rest of the country to catch up with us. Ha! When I set out today to settle in a quiet place to write,Continue reading “Mer-Mays and June-icorns”
Shake It Off
Unfortunately, the trip to York had to be cancelled due to severe weather. Two massive storms hit the UK – one the day we were to set out and the other the day we were meant to return. Apparently, several train lines are still blocked by downed trees. And another storm is hitting today. TheContinue reading “Shake It Off”
Waxing Light
February is a strange month to me. Spring is a month away, but this is often when the coldest days happen (usually on the rare occasion that someone talked me into going to a Mardi Gras parade). Here in England, winter isn’t showing much sign of releasing the Earth, though this has been a mildContinue reading “Waxing Light”
Cheersgiving
I enjoyed the Halloween playlist so much that I decided to make a Yuletide one too. It consists mainly of retro Christmas classics (Nat King Cole, the Carpenters, etc.) but with a fun sprinkling of rock-classical instrumentals, modern covers, a couple parodies, and songs from holiday movies. These are the songs I grew up listeningContinue reading “Cheersgiving”
