Are you feeling sad? It’s Blue Monday!

My very good friend reminded me this morning that today is Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year, and yet I’m not feeling sad.  That’s a win!  I am, however, feeling cold; our mild, springlike winter has suddenly ended.  The dog keeps looking at me balefully, probably trying to telepathically communicate to me his […]

A Fabulous New Weight Loss Plan!

I have a fabulous plan for all of you who wish to lose a couple of pounds as per your New Year’s Resolutions.  First, come and hang out with me while I cough and hack away and – presumably – pass this very weird virus on to you.  Next, wait until the virus settles into […]

So THIS is why people love the fall.

Happy Thanksgiving, my Canadian friends!  I hope you had a lovely long weekend.  I spent the long weekend at my in-laws’. Pause. I’m all about positivity, and so I will leave it at that and simply post this picture of me eating grapes. I seem to have my mouth full in that picture, either that […]
