The silver hairs are coming in, yep it's been a few months since my salon visit and I haven't bothered to color at home. For me hair color has been for fun and not for covering grey/silver hair. I consider them well earned, along with the wrinkles setting in. So, I may just let it … Continue reading Covid Commentary

What do you mean it's not all about me?
I'm goofy, I'm geeky, I'm a bit emo, I'm living in Italy!
Health Thoughts, People Are Grossing Me Out
Working up to 2020, I was focused on getting my health in line. We would be out of Italy so the carbs, pastries and sweets would not be as tempting and I wouldn't feel as uncomfortable exercising alone. Reality of the start of 2020 was me being very sick for quite some time and unable … Continue reading Health Thoughts, People Are Grossing Me Out
Just Things
Every now and then the universe reminds me about the importance of things. Or perhaps the un-importance of things. Today I had to remind myself that the "thing" that just broke was just a thing. Is it easily replaced? No, not unless I am heading back to Sicily soon and it was handcrafted. It was … Continue reading Just Things
Getting Back Into It
The last two and a half months have been interesting. With returning to America we knew there would be a lot we would be upgrading, replacing and adding to our lives.

Here's the horrible truth of how it played out: December 27, 2019 had me sick, to … Continue reading Back In America
Preparing For Change
Yes, it is the New Year coming up but it's so much more than that. January will change our address and a big shift in me personally. I'll have to consider what to do with this blog as it won't be about Asia/Europe travel anymore. Also, 2020 will require my husband to make a big … Continue reading Preparing For Change
You Have to Get Over Me
It was a double date. The other girl, one of my oldest friends. The girl from high school who I hung out with the most, partied with, got into trouble with, got arrested with. Shenanigans. Her date was my ex-boyfriend and I wasn't ready to see that. My date was nobody distinctive, just a guy, … Continue reading You Have to Get Over Me
Out of Sorts
October was a very strange month for me. Starting with fighting a bad cold which had me pretty laid up for about two weeks then just as I was getting back on my feet we decided to go to a movie on the Navy base and the next morning I had pink eye. Oh and … Continue reading Out of Sorts
September Trips and an Update
It has been a minute since I've written here, mostly do to a cold that has taken it's time going away and I'm still coughing but here we are in the middle of October with Samhain (Halloween) and the darker part of the year approaching. I do love Autumn. In September we did a bit … Continue reading September Trips and an Update
