Many years ago, I gleefully bought a sweatshirt that says “done”. I keep it around with me so that I put it on at any given moment. “Done” can be that I’m celebrating finishing a project. “Done” can be that I’m fed up and not tolerating it anymore. […]
I have very curly hair. Extremely curly. But, many people who have met me in the last few years, wouldn’t know about my curly nature. I do the keratin treatment and blow out my hair. I think the last time I wore my hair curly was in 2017. […]
Lately several of my clothing items have had loose threads. They’ve been caught on bag zippers, doorknobs, and tacks. Walking through my office is a minefield, at times. I hate loose threads. I don’t sew. Thus, my natural inclination is to rip it off. Sometimes gingerly and other […]

We all have our quirks. That is why I never understand when someone is noted for or described as being quirky. I suppose there is a quirky scale or continuum whereby some people are way quirkier than others. I myself have been noted as being quirky. Very quirky. […]
Here we go again. Another national holiday in the midst of a pandemic. Another time we should be rejoicing. Yet, our nerves are a bit frayed. Do we really want to think about our weekend plans? I most certainly do not care to. We are in constant negotiation […]
