No one likes performance appraisals. Let’s just begin there. I have written about this before, but apparently the universe, or rather House reruns, felt I needed another reminder. I was rewatching an episode where Cuddy is trying to get House to complete performance appraisals for his team. Naturally, […]
I have started rewatching House. Because apparently my idea of relaxing television is watching a curmudgeonly, Vicodin-dependent physician insult patients while trying to figure out why someone is mysteriously dying. It was recently ranked among the top 100 television shows of this century, which I completely understand. But […]
I love a news story that makes me stop and think, Wait. What? Recently, someone in Washington called 911 because they heard loud banging in their house and thought they had a burglar. Reasonable. Except when the police arrived, the burglar turned out to be a bobcat sitting […]
What would you do if you won the lottery? Haven’t we all done it? Bought a ticket. Laid our head on the pillow. Let the mind wander into that delicious little fantasy called What if? What if I won the lottery. I sometimes think it would have been […]

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? I’m going to share a secret with you. I have always dreamt of living in an old church. Growing up, when I attended Sunday mass, I always thought of how beautiful the church was […]
Let’s talk about falling, shall we? Not in love, not in line at the supermarket, but down the stairs – a gravity-induced escapade that adds a sprinkle of chaos to the daily grind. Now, before you worry too much, rest assured that I’m fine. I’ve mastered the art […]
Ah, the grand plans I had for today! A list that stretched longer than my attention span on a Monday morning. I envisioned conquering tasks with the efficiency of a caffeinated superhero, but reality had other ideas – a reality that embraced a pace more fitting for a […]
