During the past week, I had very similar conversations with an assistant at my physical therapist’s office and my hairdresser. For some reason, neither woman wanted me to sit in silence as she ultra-sounded my shoulder or cut my hair. I prefer silence to being asked by someone I just met if I have anyContinue reading “Small talk”

Wrong, wrong, wrong
Critics who pan “The Brave One” are simply wrong. Contrived? No. Boring? Absolutely not. Morally ambiguous? Sure, but who says that’s a bad thing? One review calls it a “revenge fantasy,” and I think that’s an appropriate description of the genre. (Spoiler ahead, but not of the ending.) Let me say first that I findContinue reading “Wrong, wrong, wrong”
Follow up
A few things I didn’t have time to type up yesterday before I headed out to the state fair. For work. (This is the third time I’ve been to this fair by myself, but usually it’s to see Weird Al. Rob’s taking me to see Weird Al on my birthday next month, but I wasContinue reading “Follow up”

Too much of good thing = bad
As much as I enjoyed wearing my hair in pigtails during our vacation, my hair is just too long. I don’t have the patience to blow it dry and wind up braiding it every day anyway. Beauty magazines’ll tell you, if it only looks good up, your hair is too long. Another thing that bothersContinue reading “Too much of good thing = bad”
Neck and neck
I couldn’t bear to go to my actual medical provider just to have her say, “Huh. You should try icing your neck,” so I made an appointment to have a mole sliced off my back. At least that way I’d have accomplished something. The offending mole on my shoulder was non-threatening, but had a wayContinue reading “Neck and neck”
To have seen what I’ve seen
Oh, woe. Poor little me. Life was so much fun before Disney World. Now, how can it compare? On the plus side, there was no Isis in Orlando. The first couple of days were rough. I kept wondering what she was doing and whether she was worried we weren’t coming back. Then it became clearContinue reading “To have seen what I’ve seen”
Fish are friends, not food
OK. So I’ve been eating salmon. It’s served at all my work functions, and just seemed like the thing to do. My intent was only to eat work-related salmon, but now my acupuncturist tells me that I’m not eating enough protein. Guess that doesn’t come as a great shock, as I consider a baked potatoContinue reading “Fish are friends, not food”
