By my rough calculations, I’m about 2 months behind my normal pace of life. Surgery, recovery, new job, nausea, fatigue, multiple doctors, chemo aside, I guess that’s pretty good. Yesterday, I went shopping in San Marcos with friends. After about three hours, I was exhausted. It was very hot and my stamina is low. I

If The Shoe Fits

I’m curious about the old woman who lived in the shoe. What kind of shoe was it? In storybooks it’s always an old boot but it could have been a pump or Ferragamo two-toned flat. A stiletto wouldn’t have a firm enough foundation to handle all those hungry children running around. Hmmm an athletic shoe

One Thing

People have marveled at my resume for years. I don’t think they are as impressed by what I’ve done as they are by the number of career paths I’ve pursued at the same time. Juggling, multitasking, time tasking, burning both ends, and exhaustion are all areas of expertise for me. I got it from my

At Last

My mother taught me to except compliments–“The lady said your dress is pretty, say thank you, Honey.” College taught me to except constructive criticism–“This paper is good but it needs a lot of work. Your transitions are too abrupt. B+” Having children taught me to be selfless–“Mom, I’m still hungry. Are you gonna eat that
