Hoppin Mad and Terrible Sad 5/27/22

I haven’t written in a couple days… I’ve been Processing. I thought I was just going to hop on hop off tour buses without thinking or particularly caring about what is happening at home in Texas. And while I my intentions were to play carefree tourist it was not going to happen. Certainly I am …

Up early with the Birds, yawn 5/24/22

Call me weary. I couldn’t sleep last night. When I finally deep breathed myself into the land of nod it was after 1. And then I woke at 4 unable to go back to sleep, but that was actually quite fortunate because when the Uber came at 5:30 to collect me I was ready to …

Eat Pray Walk 5/23/22

Oh… The best intentions. That’s what I had today. I had a list as long as both my arms of things I was going to do on my last day in London. So far I have accomplished few. I did manage this morning to go to the apple store in Covent Garden to see about …

Lazy Sunday SoHo …5/22/22

Remember yesterday when I said I would have morning room service? Well, I did. I noshed most of the day on the contents of the tray: basket of gluten filled chocolate and plain croissants, a giant pretzel, a sourdough bun, jam, butter, a small crock of yogurt with fresh fruit at the bottom plus a …

Up IN The AIR Junior Birdwoman 5/19/22

Yes, that’s right, I’m at Austin Airport, hanging in the Admirals Club Lounge, sipping my DIY iced chamomile tea, waiting for my flight to JFK and then the long haul to Heathrow. Wuzza-wuzza poor me. Hey, I’m not feeling guilty. Like many I’ve been holed up for the past 2+ years, me busily reading a …

Days of my Life #53

Raising Dough$ with Grandmother’s Recipes I’ve been baking. Not sourdough, because that’s not my current thang...I’ll leave that up to daughter who is the queen of the sourdough. My covid dough belly and hips attest to that. Grrr. Nevertheless this weekend she baked or rather we did, to raise dough$ for the Sustainable Food Center …

Days of my Life #32

Mom's the word. Days of my Life #32 Yeah. Yeah. it’s Mother’s Day. And....I’m a mother. Big deal. I’ve got two wonderful kids and a fab daughter-in-law. I’ve got two adorable grandkids. I’ve even got several dog children. Woof. I’m lucky, I suppose. So what the fuck is wrong with me? Why aren’t I in …

Days of my Life #27

I wanted to write yesterday. Really I did. But I felt like shit. No, don’t worry it wasn’t the VIRUS. I definitely ate something rotten or swallowed a supplement that my delicate self said “no way!” I was talking with a friend this morning or maybe it was last night; time seems to be running …

Days of my Life #26

Silence is golden. Grandson is with dad. Home, even with an adorable boisterous young puppy, is quiet. I am enjoying this pause in the bustle of life. The busyness of doing is so addictive. It is no wonder people needed vacations from school and work. We need...Time to rest. To think. To look around. To …
