I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Last weekend I woke up a bit sleepy and groggy. Which is to be expected. That’s what the weekend is supposed to be feel like. Check! I woke up around 6:00am or so and grabbed my phone. How very 2019! I immediately went on Twitter as that is […]
It’s 4:17am and I am awake. I shouldn’t be. I went to sleep exhausted expecting to sleep through to at least 6:00am. That would be late for me. That would be delightful. But tick tock here I am. I’m wide awake writing to hopefully bring on the sleep. […]

A little wicked A major force A bit peeved A tremendous joyride A righteous wall A nonjudgmental sounding board A person in your corner…until you blow it A teeny little conniving A do-what-it-takes girl, yet A pocket full of ethics A know-it-all A woman with receipts A good […]
I have a pet peeves list that I occasionally check. Of course said list is a list kept in my memory bank. And, here in the social media world. In a world where we get a minimum of 100 emails a day, they need to each mean something. […]
