Yesterday was filled with errands. Today was yard work, gardening, getting out the hose, replanting a tree - it was all very glamorous. The folks at Park Ave grilled burgers and hot dogs, we had the house meeting and finished the evening off with a bonfire and ice cream (we forgot to buy the ingredients [...]

Was to be a Kenwood Housewife.
Okay, so I stole the line from a personals ad that used to run in Lavender Magazine over and over again until it had either a) overrun it’s welcome, or b) been fulfilled.
I imagine my day would begin with me awaking to my alarm, the husband out of town on [...]

It’s Easter today. I’m well. Life is good. Let’s see … since regular postings much has happened. There are now 2 sober homes for the gays and they continue to succeed. Success meaning the bills get paid and people are getting and staying sober. I pray it continues.

I am truly grateful for this opportunity. My family had suggested that I make a [...]

The sober home manager deal I mentioned during December didn’t work out. Well, I guess it wasn’t meant to because I just bought a place of my own! Met with my new accountant today, and I’ll be open for biz sometime during February.

You can’t help but [...]

The Rolling Stones and a similar Hole song keep running through my head.
This past week has been okay. And by “okay” I mean it sorta sucked. There were some good things - I spent time with my family, enjoyed watching my nieces and nephews open their gifts, had good conversations with [...]
