I am a list person. I can’t just go into a grocery store and shop. If I don’t have a list, I lose focus and inevitably forget what I went in there for. At work, I’m the list keeper when we hear from the editors what stories are to come through the desk. Sure, other [...]

And Then There Were Seven

In one week — seven days — I will have the keys to my condo in my hands. Well, OK, they’ll probably be in my purse, but you get the idea. I do the walk-through on Wednesday. It will be the first time I’ve seen the place since the home inspection in early April. Mind [...]
As I Was Saying

I know I’ve done a lot of talk about change and the whole cycle of seven. And I have to admit: Sometimes I wonder if I really feel this stuff or if I’m just pulling stuff outta my ass to rationalize this … lull. But then the universe finds a way to confirm that my [...]
Cut! Take Two. Action…

I had a major haircut a couple days ago and I’m kinda sorta freaking out. It’s not the first time I’ve done this. My hair is fine and it retaliates against chemical abuses by breaking off at will. And because there isn’t a chemical process out there that I haven’t tried, I’ve had several major [...]

It’s like being slapped in the face with a cold, wet fish. I’m talking about this whole midlife thing. Maybe I’m still reeling from last weekend’s shredfest. Or maybe my hormones are in overdrive because of PMS and (very late) period. Whatever the trigger, I’ve been in an odd place. My health issues — minor, [...]
Ready, Get Set …

Go. I’ve done a lot of talking about how I’ve been feeling change in the air. I was right. Some background: About four years ago, after the break-up with The Boy, I tried to buy a condo. It seemed as if all the cool kids were doing it. I wanted in on the action, too. [...]
Reprieve, Please?

So … I’m dealing with health issues again. It’s not terribly serious, but I am often in pain and it is annoying. I went back to one of the docs from earlier this year, and she’s referred me to a specialist. Well, actually, the specialist she referred me to doesn’t have an opening until August [...]
Seven-Year Itch

My last post focused on change and all the signs, great and small, serving as presages of that change. Allow me to back up a moment. It’s been said that our lives go through seven-year cycles. Mind you, years in these cycles don’t necessarily follow the orderly January 1-December 31 calendar. And often, changes get [...]
