Silence is Golden
Silence is golden unless you have children and if you have children and silence you have a problem. Silence and a child does not mean they are sleeping unless you have wrestled them to bed yourself. Silence and children can only mean trouble, and they are in it up to their itty bitty eye balls.

It's Not Ben Franklin's Library Anymore
It’s Not Ben Franklin’s Library Anymore
Benjamin Franklin along with giving us so many things he gave us the first public lending library in the United States in 1731.Today public libraries fill a whole host of needs for the public. For example in the middle of a pandemic my local library is hosting a drive-in of sorts. They are showing Toy Story 4. You can still check out books from them you just can’t go inside and wonder the isles…

Pretend It's Halloween and Wear Your Mask
Pretend It’s Halloween and Wear Your Mask
I was in my 40’s when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. My immune system is attacking my thyroid and I still can’t imagine how I let that happen to myself. In any case my thyroid has become damaged and cannot make enough thyroid hormones. So I take a synthetic hormone. What would happen if I didn’t take the synthetic…

Symphony of Birds
I’m not by any stretch a bird watcher I am, however, a bird listener. I love the sound of birds granted some birds are beautiful even majestic in their own right, but I enjoy the sound of birds. For example we once had a bald eagle sit on the lamp post across the street and cry out. It was a mournful sound loud and guttural like a woman crying for a lost love. It made me feel sorry and want to…

What's New
What’s New
If you all remember I told you a while back that my husband and I were approved to adopt a dog. Remember how excited I was about the whole thing. I’ve been away for the last month because I have a beautiful Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. And she is beautiful.

The Not So Sweet Story About Sugar
I’ve been thinking about this for a while. It’s been just rolling around in my brain and I just need to get it out of there and out into the world, so here it goes. I just ate 12 black jelly beans. I hate jelly beans, but I ate them anyway because they were kind of sweet. I have a sugar addiction and it’s bad. Sugar at the levels that I eat it is very bad for me. It causes inflammation in my body…

Let The Sun In But Have A Glass Of Milk
I need more vitamin D than I used to. I know this because I got vitamin D deficiency. I slept a lot and was moody my hair fell out. My back hurt. It was awful, and it could have been dangerous because you lose bone when you have a vitamin D deficiency. Older adults like me need 800 International Units (IU) of vitamin D every day. We used to only need 600 IU a day.
You can get vitamin D from…

It's All About The Relationship
It’s All About The Relationship
A while back I read an article about mixing a child day care facility and a retirement home. My first thought was oh my God how terrifying for those retired people. It’s been a while, but the article suggested that both the children and the retiree’s benefit from the relationship. (Now that I think about it, it might have been a documentary not an article at all. The mind is slipping today.)

Mental Health and Social Isolation
Social isolation in the age of COVID-19 has become the norm not the rarity in fact it has become the life saving measure. But there is still a cost. And shouldn’t we at least consider that cost. Loneliness is a serious health risk. Studies of elderly people and social isolation concluded that those without adequate social interaction were twice as likely to die prematurely. The increased…

My depression is caused by genetics and brain chemistry I take medicine for it every day and the medicine helps, but not enough to make me feel normal, but enough to function as long as there are no stressors to add to my depression. Not only is depression…
