Maybe it’s because I work indoors. Maybe it’s because I carry around a few extra pounds. Maybe I was born this way. Whatever the reason, I do NOT do well with high temperatures. I get light headed and sometimes even nauseated. I get REALLY grumpy. I smell like a sock that has been used for an entire year of middle… Read more »
So I’m a couple days back from my trip to Duluth and I had a great time. The weather was good, I found a couple new great places to eat, and it was all around a good time. The day I left my husband posted that I had just left and a few jokes about what he was going to… Read more »
By the time you are reading this I will be a couple days into my vacation back in my happy place – Duluth Minnesota. Yes, I’ve been there a bunch of times but that’s kind of the point. Please see https://beckypalmer.me/why-duluth/ for my thoughts on why I keep going back there. And yes, I am going alone again. This… Read more »
I’m finding it difficult to concentrate today. Why, you might ask? Because today I am on the Hot Flash Express and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. I don’t know why they come in waves, but mine do. I’ll go weeks without a one and then for a period of time you could fry an egg on… Read more »
On April 16th I got my second COVID vaccine. I did not come down with a fever, chills, or headache. I did not go into anaphylactic shock. But holy cow am I am wiped out. I had not personally read about fatigue as a vaccine side effect before I got my shots, but now I’m reading that yes, it’s pretty… Read more »
Apparently I never actually hit “publish” on last weeks’ post. Good news is that it’s still timely, so it will be coming your way tomorrow, 2/22/21. Thanks!
Many moons ago when I started blogging I really didn’t know what I was getting in to. I didn’t ever think I would be going to conferences to learn how to blog better. I didn’t ever think I would be a member of a bloggers group. I didn’t ever think I would have social media accounts devoted to it. It… Read more »
I get a lot of (mostly) good natured grief over some of my entertainment choices. Specifically as of late, folks find it odd/ unusual/ crazy that I have become a fan of watching YouTube videos of birds. Most notably I am a fan of Mr Max TV- a moluccan cockatoo, and Einstein the Talking Texan Parrot- an African grey parrot,… Read more »
We made it! 2020 is in the rear view mirror and good riddance to bad rubbish. I’ve never been big on New Year’s resolutions. Most of them are doomed to fail because they are either too lofty – i.e. the couch potato resolving to go to the gym every day – or too vague – i.e. resolving to something like… Read more »
“Age is just a number” “You are only as old as you feel” “50 is the new 30” We’ve all heard things like this. We’ve probably said them ourselves, or had someone say them to us. I’ve heard them a lot lately, because by the time you read this I will have turned 49. And I have a lot a… Read more »
