I should have stopped at 2. Surgeries, that is. 2 hip surgeries per saga. 3 is just too many. I’m not going to blame my relapse on my hip injury. Actually, I might. I think I’m entitled to that. I first injured my hip exactly 10 years ago. I had 3 surgeries over the course […]
The Not-So-Christmas Spirit
“I feel like I’m out of control. I have no way of channeling my emotions,” I said. “I was hoping your blog would help you do that,” replied my mother. “I can’t write about this. Not really. I have called myself The Realistic Optimist, but I am anything but optimistic right now. I’m drowning in darkness.” […]
One of Those People
Today I realized something about myself. You know the people who don’t respond to emails, texts, messages, voicemails, tweets, and comments right away? Those people drive me crazy. Especially if you know they received and read your message, but fail to respond in a “timely” manner. Gosh darn it, even as I write about them […]

It’s been 2 months since I’ve needed them, but my crutches still stand by the full-length mirror in my bedroom. My daughter pointed them out to me the other day and asked why they were still there. I didn’t have a very good answer for that one. It wasn’t until later that I discovered there […]
“Someone Should Have Warned Her”
It was my first day of training and there I sat in our team meeting. The meeting had started late because I was late. I was in a car accident the day before and had to rent a car that morning. Not at all the way I had planned on starting my brand new job. […]
What I Miss Most About Jasper
You don’t know how much something means to you until you lose it. Jasper was more than just a car to me. He was my friend. He literally carried me through life. We’ve only been together for a year, but it’s felt like eternity. I can’t imagine my life without Jasper. He’s been there without […]
