Blogger Under the Weather
Nope, not COVID. Just a nasty sinus infection that’s kicking my ass. Stay safe everyone and I’ll be back next week!

What Do YouTube?
Last week I shared a list of websites that I have been visiting to try to keep what little sanity I have left. But, I left one off. That would be YouTube. I admit, I’m late to the YouTube party. Of course I used it from time to time, but it was never on my top 10 list of websites… Read more »
More Questions Without Answers
Remember when social media was fun? When people only shared jokes and silly memes and family photos and no one talked about politics or world issues? Remember when you just wanted to collect “friends” and didn’t care how well you actually knew them or if you knew anything about them? Then again, what other reason IS there for social media… Read more »
What’s Working for You?
Many of us are entering or just past a month of stay at home orders/ very strong suggestions from our mayors and/ or governors. Everyone admits it’s hard on us psychologically, but we for the most past understand why it’s required right now. We also understand that there is no good way to know when this “new normal” of “uncertain… Read more »
The Struggle is Very Real
This past week has been one of the strangest weeks of my life. COVID 19 is turning everything and everyone upside down. By now we’re all familiar with the list of folks who are most at risk for serious complications from this virus, but there’s another group of people at risk that no one’s talking about. Theirs isn’t a higher… Read more »
What’s In A Number?
Most of us are familiar with the phrase “What’s in a name?” – it comes from the Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet. Many of us have bad memories of reading that particular work of the bard’s in school, but I digress. When it comes right down to it, names are arbitrary. It so happens my parents settled on Becky (well,… Read more »
I’m Back!
Whether you usually come to my website directly or through social media I’m sure you’ve noticed the lack of new posts lately. I apologize for that. I was having technical difficulties with my site that apparently were caused by my hosting service. I didn’t even know that was a possibility, so I spent a lot of time and energy trying… Read more »
And I Approve this Message
That might be one of my most hated phrases in the English language. Why? Because it’s EVERYWHERE right now. The Iowa caucuses are only a week away, so most of the Presidential hopefuls are making Iowa their home away from home right now as well as spending mega bucks on TV ads. I realize there are still a lot of… Read more »
Knees Suck
Last week I had knee surgery. Going in I was hopeful that this procedure would take care of the issues I’d been having with pain and locking up, but I knew eventually even with the best possible outcome I will eventually need knee replacement. After surgery I found out that the surgeon found unexpected cartilage damage. I may have it… Read more »
I have an Instant Pot- now what?
I’m a terrible cook. Like epic fail bad. I have ruined Rice Crispie treats (they were rock hard and flat as a pancake). I have turned pork chops into shoe leather. I have turned frozen pizzas into ashes. In spite of all this, my husband still eats most of what I put in front of him. He is truly a… Read more »
