Last night I had an issue with my new car. Its a 2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI with only 16k miles on it and suddenly, out of nowhere, it started squealing like a banshee when the wheels were in motion. I love my little Cherry Bomb and when I had no warning lights on my console... Continue Reading →
I got back from my orthopedic doctor yesterday and finally was able to breath a sigh of relief! He took me out of my splint and said I should be fine to start strengthening my hand & wrist and most importantly, I can start my weapons training again! It has been several months since I...

"I'm just going to... Continue Reading →

Sometimes in my life I get reminders. Hints of what my life could have been like, both good and bad. Yesterday I had one of those reminders. When I got up yesterday morning, it took some time, coffee and 4 episodes of 'Criminal Minds' to get me going. But once I had my shower I... Continue Reading →
Last night, as I pulled out all the medications and supplements my husband Greg & I take, I decided to sort them. On the right side were all my bottles. On the left side were all of Greg's and in the middle were the ones we both take. I am currently on 3 prescribed medications,... Continue Reading →
To describe one of the biggest fan run Fandom conventions in the USA as simply awesome would be the most glaring understatement I could possibly make.
