I’ve had a few days to process and distill my feelings from the recent judiciary hearings. But before I post about that, I’ll tell you about what I did last week. Oh, but wait, before that, let me give you an update from my last post. The unknown anomaly on my rear end has dissipated/disappeared,…

2 Years & Cookies
Today marks my 2-year anniversary of moving into my awesome downtown apartment. Crazy to think about that passage of time – how I’ve become more myself (I think), how I’ve lost a bit of weight, how I’ve become (maybe too) comfortable on my own, how my family unit has shifted, and how I can sit…
NPM – 22 of 30
Christmas Day what I remember: walking to Starbucks with my sister & her husband tripping and falling flat on my face into a yard on the way home when I told my dad I’d fell, the way he took my hand, patted it, made sympathetic noises knowing it would be my dad’s last Christmas not…
Walking Weekend in San Diego
I haven’t been in my car since I got home from work on Friday afternoon. I love weekends like this. I slept in (for me) on Saturday, getting up a little after 8 am. I got dressed and went to my favorite French cafe where I worked on poems and a little work. I stayed…
Vacation – days 9 & 10: Edinburgh => Dublin => Los Angeles => San Diego
Woke up fairly early but had gotten some good sleep. Used the morning hour to write the blog for day 8. Got my bag together. I went into Barbara’s room for a tearful (on my part, she was still half asleep) goodbye. It has been so wonderful traveling with her, and I’m really going to…
Vacation – day 8: Methil => Kirkcaldy => Aberdour => Edinburgh
We were happy to leave Methil. I didn’t sleep much, though my sleep was okay during its 5 hours. And, weirdly, my sleep machine kind of broke in the morning. The button to turn it off stopped functioning, so I can still use it but I have to plug/unplug to turn it on/off. So that’s…
Vacation – day 7: Allandale => Falkirk => Doune => Falkland => St. Andrews => Methil
Another great day in Scotland! I didn’t fall out of the bed so it already started better! I took a shower and leisurely got my bag packed up. Barbara asked for an extra hour before check out so it was no big hurry. We got our breakfast rolls, sausage for me this time, and coffee…
Vacation – day 6: Allandale => Glasgow
I woke up when I rolled off the twin bed and nearly crashed to the floor. It was around 8 am. Thinking back, I really can’t say how I didn’t knock my head on the side table. I was somehow able to wake up midair and think to put my foot down to stop myself…
Vacation – day 5: Glasgow => Allandale => Bridge of Allan
Woke up in Glasgow. I have found as I get older that I just wake up early. I’m not sure why that is, but I got up around 7:30 am. I took a shower and then I read which was nice. The morning was grey and wet, the air near the windows was cold. Here’s…
Vacation – day 3: Edinburgh => Inverness
I woke up around 7:30 am and searched for a place to go get some coffee. I thought about having the hotel breakfast again (not sure if I could have since I was checking out), but then I thought to myself, “Lizzie, you are in Edinburgh, go see what you can see!” So I located…
