Pooped Post

written by vanessa

My daughter and grandson came to visit this past weekend. She partied with friends and slept the whole time. I did baby watch, so I did very little else.
Between weekends consumed by family and workdays filled with audits, insurance renewals, change of TPA’s and yearend reporting, in addition to normal day-to-day activities, this pooped post [...]

Flash 55 – Inspiration

written by vanessa

Jason sat staring at his monitor, fingers over the keyboard waiting for inspiration for this week’s Flash 55.
Nothing came to him.
He typed words and deleted them. He looked at some photographs in his My Pictures folder. No inspiration there. He closed his eyes, shook his head.

Good Bye, Dr. John

written by vanessa

It was with great sadness that I learned of the news of Dr. John’s passing.
My deepest sympathy to his wife, Betty, and the family he loved so much.

He loved poetry, puns and jokes.
He played with words like a child with [...]

Microfiction Monday

written by vanessa

Susan at Stony River hosts Microfiction Monday,
where a picture paints 140 characters…or even fewer.
This week’s picture as inspiration and my story to go with it:
Blushing? I’m not blushing.
I’m going to hang up now.
It’s amazing what telemarketers will say
to get you to buy their product.

Rabbit, Rabbit

written by vanessa

Husband Update: He goes for his second steroidal epidural injection this coming Wednesday. This one will help his nerve pain, which is what is causing him the most distress. The physical therapy seems to be helping. He’s cooking dinner for me again. Big thumbs up.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. We appreciate your kindness.
My husband had an epidural steroid injection last Wednesday and he was able to walk around a bit by Saturday. He is slowly getting back to normal, so hopefully I can also. He needs to get a couple more and do physical therapy and then he [...]

Get Thee Behind Me

written by vanessa

For those of you who wondered and asked…
I did not paint the ornament in the post below. My mother gives me a new ornament each year on Saint Nicholas’ Day (December 6th) each year. As you may have noticed, I like butterflies and therefore they usually play a role in any baubles I receive.
My husband [...]
