relief

Every time I wake up after an illness…and feel the coolness on my skin that only could mean that a fever had come and gone…

Every time I wake up after an illness…and feel the distinct absence of discomfort and maybe the slightest tinge of hunger…

Every time I wake up after an illness…and can breathe and think clearly…

I think to myself: Creationism, evolution, Intelligent Design…does it really matter? In the end…the body is a marvel.

…then I think that had this been 200 or more years ago, I’d most probably be exiled and/or dead.

Then again, I stayed home sick yesterday too, so death may not come until I return to work Monday.

In other news, BvP the wonder-man has ripped off all of the wallpaper in the computer room. My illness has put us a day behind, so we may keep the blue shag carpet until his next weekend off. Tomorrow is painting day. Hopefully I’m well enough to at least help with trim.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
