The end of 2019 was rough. I lost a job that I enjoyed, with people that were nice, decent pay, and great benefits. I had to go back into the job market and thusly, on unemployment benefits. It sucked. I had some interesting offers, some outrageous ideas, and some ass-clenching moments when I looked at […]

I’ve been quiet on social media lately. For those of you who know me pretty well, that’s unusual. Sure, I may share the occasional link and funny photo, but usually I’m writing on my blog pretty regularly (or making a conscious effort to). Well, I’ve been hit by the depression monster. And it fucking sucks. […]

Ugh. That was my first thought this morning. Recap: had too many carbs last night. And oh man am I feeling it today. I thought I was going to puke last night, which would have probably made me feel better. But I didn’t, which I am okay with as I hate to puke. It took […]

Tonight, the hubby and I went out to dinner. I was craving a burger. We had a gift card for a place called Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers. Off we went. There, it was pretty easy to make low carb choices. You could order a buger without a bun, get a salad instead of chips as […]
