  • Reminders to Self

    It really doesn’t take long to follow the path of least resistance and return to old habits – whether deemed good or bad. M came back on Sunday. On Monday, we went out with friends for lunch and an evening out. My stomach was a bit in shock with the return to booze and food,…

  • Thoughts on AI, copyright, etc.

    This is really a kind of stream of consciousness post on the topic as I’m formulating my thoughts to post on my writing spaces. Teachers around the world are in a bit of an uproar over the current dominance of AI bots that are getting a lot of attention these days. Some teachers feel threatened…

  • Reboot Detox 2023

    Every now and then, I try to do a fasting lemon water detox. The longest I have done is ten days of just lemon water throughout the day and no food with the exception of a smoothie at the end of the day when my brain thinks it wants food. The shortest I have done…

  • Bonjour de France! πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

    We are officially on our summer holidays! β˜€οΈπŸŽ‰ Although, to be fair, it doesn’t look or feel that much different from our regular days since neither of us “work” all day long. Plus, M is always “working”, so even when on holiday he is messaging, fielding calls, etc. Still, the environment has changed and we…

  • Good and Busy Days

    Whenever I try to think back to the days and what I have done or what I do, I find that it is somewhat hard to recollect. πŸ€” I am not sure if it is brain fog 🀯, lack of focus/clarity πŸ˜’, or busyness, or the opposite. In any case, these days have been good.…

  • Doggy Update

    As I’m working on some other writing things at the moment, I thought I’d finish off the week with a little update on the pups! 🐢❀️🐢❀️ Peanut πŸΆπŸ’œ So, Pea(nut) is doing alright. She’s not quite the same as before her viper bite, but she’s running around fine. Some notable changes in her, though, are…

  • Happy 4th of July

    Every now and again I like to show my patriotic side. Even though most of the world sees the US as a kind of sh*t show, I am still American πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ in my heart and soul. Occasionally, someone will ask me if I would give up my US passport and try to get citizenship in…

  • Sensitivities

    Physically, I have many sensitivities to “nature”. I group it all together because basically I am allergic to most of the outside world. However, mentally and emotionally, I am fairly insensitive. This does not mean that I do not get my feelings hurt or that I mean to hurt others; I am human after all.…

  • Silver Linings

    Although we are not yet finished with the season, the peak of our busy period has passed at last. Since April, we have had a fairly steady stream of visitors in and out of the house. Some stayed for just a night, or a few days, or an extended period of flexible time. Overall, it…

  • Unbalanced Conversations

    I remember yelling at my ex-husband once that not all stories were about him and that he didn’t always need to revert the conversation back to himself. He looked at me in confusion and said, “But, that’s how people relate and talk.” At the time, I just attributed his style of conversing with me, and…
