My husband, Norm, and I are convinced there is a black hole in our house. Things randomly disappear and it drives us crazy. Take this morning for instance. Norm has a reacher grabber device that he uses to help pick up things off the floor so he doesn’t have to bend over. He used it [...]

So I’m getting dressed and into my wheelchair in the morning. I look up at the ceiling and notice a small gecko crawling around. I keep tabs on him throughout the morning and then forget all about him until bedtime. I don’t see him anywhere. I wonder where he went? Let’s just hope it wasn’t [...]

Have you ever had one of those days when just cannot focus on much? A day where you cannot get beyond staring in the mirror thinking about ridiculous things like getting rid of blackheads? I had a day like that a few days ago. So, I decided I needed to get out of the house [...]

Dealing with teenagers is something that I find difficult to do. Perhaps it’s because I did not like being a teenager? I do not know what it is, but I find that I can not think of anything to say when I am around a teenager. I actually feel awkward, which is how most of [...]

Here I am again. Karen’s husband, Norm… typing away. When Karen “writes” a post, she dictates using a microphone connected to her computer. Real High Tech. But last Friday afternoon we discovered a water leak in the hallway in front of the door which opened to our Hot Water Heater. In an effort to control [...]
