Leaves are falling all around that just tells me winter is on its way. I stepped out to run today. This is the first time I have run, and much less blogged about running, in forever. I know all you runners have missed me. <insert sarcasm> The sun was shining bright and I could not …
I can't believe tomorrow will be three weeks since Jim passed. I miss my brother more than I ever imagined. We talked every single day for so long. Even last night I saw something I wanted to ask him about...I went as far as pulling out my phone to text. As soon as I saw …
This morning (9/21/20) I lost my job. I knew for a couple months I was going to, but I just didn't know exactly what date I would be fired. Folks on the outside looking in may not realize how important my job was to me. I never expressed it, but it was the toughest and …
Today I met my old running partner to walk. I'm not sure why I still refer to Sara as my old running partner, but I do. Sara and I first met in 1997 when she was a transcriptionist for a cardiologist I worked for at the time. A nurse invited her to run with us …
Took a few days to step away from reality and escape to the mountains. Escape can be good for the soul. While I know reality was still on my mind, I felt I wasn't in the eye of the storm at the time. I kept sending my brother daily texts to make sure he was …
It's been over a month since I wrote my last blog post. I feel guilty for taking so long, but life has been a tad crazy. I don't know about any of you, but I'm so over 2020. This truly has been the worst year ever. During the month of July, I felt like I …
My hunka hunka has been asking for salmon patties. (Excuse me while I contain my nausea) I have these horrific memories of my mom cooking salmon patties. That smell is up there in terrible dinners when she cooked liver and onions, or sauerkraut and weiners. This girl just cannot stomach that odor. AT. ALL. Thankfully …
Today was a hot one. Traditional midwest humid day. I love this weather. I loathe snow and ice. However, it does create a bit of a running issue. Tomorrow is my normal running day, but my schedule will not allow it. I figured I would venture out today, but with caution. Heat and humidity both …
Today is the saddest day of the year... summer solstice. Tells me that winter is on its way. It was mega hot but I knew I could not pass up running today. My running has been a little off lately. But I must run in celebration of heat, sunshine, summer, life. Photo by Jonathan Petersson …
This is my 100th blog. I'm excited. Thank you to my followers and I hope you continue to stay with me. One of my followers/friend/coworker told me yesterday she enjoyed my food blogs the most. I haven't written one in a while, so why not today? I didn't realize pork chops seem to be my …
