• so who the heck am I

  January 21, 2022

  So after spending a couple of years on my husband's DNA/ancestry stuff, I finally began to research my own family.  There were a lot of empty spaces and I began to fill them in.  Unfortunately, as I began to truly investigate, I discovered the most glaring piece of information.  At first, I thoug...

• she’s going home

  January 20, 2022

  I found out that my daughter and her aunt are planning on driving back to pack up her belongings so she could move to Oklahoma.  My daughter didn't tell me.  My sister-in-law didn't tell me.  My husband heard it from his brother while talking to him today.  You would think my daughter would take ...

• Rabbit hole revisited

  January 16, 2022

  Going through Ancestry trying to fill in the blanks - again.  I talked to my brother yesterday and besides discussing his divorce, we also talked about our mom.  We concluded that mom never told us anything about her younger life.  The only way I was able to find out anything was through public r...

• Late to the news conference

  January 14, 2022

  This year I sent my brother and his wife a Christmas card.  I'm not the best when it comes to keeping in contact with him.  He's my step brother, 11 years older than me, and we never had much of a relationship over the years, especially after our mom died.  I suck at family dynamics. …

  So my husband has been on his medication for diabetes.  He also recently started a different blood pressure medicine.  However, today when he took his BP, it was very low.  He wanted to call his cousin who had been a nurse before she retired.  I countered by asking if she was his doctor.  No, but...

• Just take another pill

  December 24, 2021

  My husband was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.  Essentially, he just has to take a pill.  So he'll keep eating whatever he wants, sit on the couch all day, and take a pill.  Unbelievable.  Although he did eat an orange this evening.  Which never happens.  I guess he ran out of Fritos and bean dip.

• The longest the shortest

  December 19, 2021

  I think we're coming up on the shortest day of the year.  And today, it's been dark almost all day due to overcast skies and rain.  Typical.  I just want to hibernate.  Anyway, in my search for information about the shortest day of the year, I came across an article about the mating habits of&hel...

• This is why I hate the holidays

  December 18, 2021

  I literally have no one to vent to right now.  Let me rephrase that - I have no one to vent to without my venting traveling back to bite me in the butt.  So, dear diary, you are my secret special venting place.  Yesterday, we went to our daughter's apartment to drop off a suitcase…
