It's all in how you look at it. The "it" being life. Those every day occurrences can wear you down and make you weep or you can try to find the humor and just laugh. Perhaps if you laugh enough, the crying will forget to come out. I hope you enjoy these stories that probably happen in your life too. Please share your comments. I'd love to hear from you!
Form, Form, Everywhere a Form
Why do we complete medical forms every time we go to the doctor? Have they not heard about this wonderful tool called the internet? You can actually send somebody to a website to and get this…complete the forms online! Jetsons, here we come. And really, do we need to complete new forms each year with …
No Weigh!
I get that we’re supposed to go to the doctor every year to check in and see if all parts are operating properly and our liquids are producing stellar results. However, sometimes I put off these annual visits because do you know what they do at each one? Weigh you! How much does that really …
Unexpected Virus Outcomes
Who isn't thinking about COVID-19? Also, you may be sick of hearing about the sickness. But I must say I find the changes curious. With grocery stores being limited on items, you can't be choosy. So, this means having to alter your usual product choice. For instance, my husband came home with Grey Poupon, you …

Wine, Sneeze and Crack-ups

I Only Commute Because I Have to Work
On my daily race to work, I was relieved I was making such good time! I maneuvered the car around the corner onto the next street that would take me that much closer to my destination and then…I saw it. A big yellow school bus. Every day, we commuters face these travel challenges. And, I …
Attacked
They have a vendetta against my family. They’re constantly watching us. They unfailingly surround our home. They hide when you get brave enough to confront them, pretending they weren’t there at all.
