Cue The Music …

It does not take long for my wife to get into the Christmas Spirit. Longtime readers of this blog know that she listens to Christmas music all year round. Once November is here, the season is "officially" underway according to her. I took advantage of a semi-warm day over the weekend and took down all … Continue reading Cue The Music … →

Cleaned, But Not Cleaned Out

I had meant to blog earlier, but I got preoccupied with a spur of the moment project. I spent almost all day in my garage. I was going to change the oil on my riding mower, but before I did that, I knew I had to give myself some room. This led to me emptying … Continue reading Cleaned, But Not Cleaned Out →

Uncomfortably Numb

Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com I took advantage of the warm weather on Saturday. It was windy, but it was perfect to get the outdoor decorations down. This is the first year that I didn't have to wait until spring to do it. Our outdoor stuff isn't too complicated. The most difficult thing is … Continue reading Uncomfortably Numb →

Feeling ... not right When I got the diagnosis of ADHD recently and began the new medication, I had hoped that I would start to feel … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts →

Bells Are Ringing and Clowns Are … Laughing?

My grandma was no Clark Griswold in the outdoor Christmas Decorations Department. Inside, though, she used to really go all out. Well, at least she did before she moved to her condo. She had a large mantle along the fireplace that she decorated every year. She had Christmas trees, reindeer, a Santa sleigh, angels, and … Continue reading Bells Are Ringing and Clowns Are … Laughing? →

Inspired by Blogmas

A few blogs that I follow, started to talk about "Blogmas" a week or so ago. From what I can tell it is a list of 25-31 Blog post ideas. Sort of a daily writing prompt that are all Christmas related. I did a search for "Blogmas" and read through a few of them. The … Continue reading Inspired by Blogmas →

Just call me gullible

It is not odd for my wife to send me pictures of things she wants to buy. Among some of the things she has sent: the theme for the baby's nursery, gift ideas for the boys, gift ideas for her, possible places to vacation, and things for the house. Just the other day, she was … Continue reading Just call me gullible →
