Stuck

Do you ever feel like you're just... stuck? You have stuff you want to do, stuff you need to do... and you might even really enjoy doing them (or not, in the case of housework and chores etc.), but you just... can't? It's like you're in a holding pattern behind an invisible wall that no …

Hello Again

It's has been a while, hasn't it? A little over three years, in fact. I went on hiatus because my health had gone down, and to be frank, it was pretty damn scary for a while there. It's taken a long time for me to start to feel normal again - or as normal as …

Hiatus

So this post is a bit difficult for me to make. Why? Because it means acknowledging what's been going on with me, healthwise. For the past few months, I've experienced a steady decline in my health. I haven't talked about it much and I really have no great wish to go into it now, either. …

Heaven in a Cup

Hubby and I got a few sample packs from Adagio (no, I'm not affiliated and no I won't get anything from this) and it's been a treat to try new teas. I'm keeping a list of the ones we definitely like (suppose I ought to make one of nevermore, too). So far we've tried two …

Long Time Coming

I know, I know, today's post is running late but hey, I have a very good reason. Hubby and I are on our first vacation in 16 years (his job makes it difficult to get away, let's just leave it at that) and only just got back from a weekend camping trip with a couple …

In A Pickle

I’ve been cooking and baking since I could crawl up on a stool next to the counter where my Grandmother would often be spread out making cookies, quick breads, or even that staple of traditional Southern cooking, fried chicken. But, there was another staple of good Southern cooking that I have ignored for years now, …

Toothless/-no more

I gotta tell ya, dentures take getting used to like whoa. My mouth is (obviously) still healing, so there's that aspect of it. Another is... well, let's just say my mouth is now a lot smaller and I now have even more issues trying to make sure foods only go one way. That said, I can …

In Stitches

Well, I'm officially toothless now - as far as my upper teeth are concerned at any rate. Let me tell ya, a mouth full of stitches is something else. This week's been pretty damn miserable as I'm sure you can imagine. Thankfully, the oral surgery went well. It's just that between the swelling and lingering …

Kites, Kites, Everywhere

Metaphorically speaking, at least. I've never in my life been so high, so frequently. No, not by choice, and certainly not for fun. I was supposed to have some teeth removed on Friday. I have severe dental anxiety so they gave me some pills to combat that. They failed to extract the teeth, I ended …

Annoyed

So I've been sitting here all morning trying to think on what to write. Truth be told, I haven't done much by way of crafting in far longer than I care to remember. Something always seems to be getting in the way of it, usually, my health, be it an injury or a severe lack …
