Addendum to My Thoughts
In actuality, this is an entirely new post since it’s not attached to the “Gathering My Thoughts” post, but it’s still in the same vein. In addition to losing the person I love most in this world, I’ve come to the realization that the loss of him also makes me feel old(er). While he will … Continue reading
Gathering My Thoughts
My thoughts are still a jumble of memories and emotions. For the most part, strangely, I don’t think it’s hit me yet how completely he’s gone from my life. There are the photos that he sent to me via the Line app; there are messages on the Line app and a text or two on … Continue reading
Love Story
Once upon a time on a small university campus in Kansas, I was there for Senior Weekend – where seniors spend the weekend checking out the campus to decide whether they want to attend that university. One of the events for the weekend was a dance at the Student Union, which I attended with a … Continue reading
I Want to Go Home
This past weekend was spent in L.A., not for any particular reason, but because I’m “homesick.” The trip didn’t start off all that well. My 8:00 a.m. flight on Virgin America was delayed until 9:15 a.m., though we weren’t actually airborne until about 9:45 a.m. A friend of mine had wanted to pick me up … Continue reading
Spreading My Wings
It’s only mid-February, but I already have 5 vacations planned, plus two Company-related events. This week is a Company event in Monterey. We’ll go there on Thursday morning, have some meetings, have a private evening tour of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, have dinner in Carmel, spend the night at a hotel on Cannery Row and … Continue reading
Fragile
Life is so fleeting. Guess I’m kind of in a funk right now, partially due to this reconnecting resolution that I’ve made for New Year’s. You see, reconnecting with people brings up memories of OTHER people from the past. My ex-husband and I had a friend, L., who was from Switzerland. Whenever the Euros gathered … Continue reading
Holidaze
The holidays are over, thankfully! Honestly, my holiday spirit has been relatively low for several years now. Not being close (physically or otherwise) to my immediate family, I chose to spend Thanksgiving in the same place as a few years ago – Las Vegas. Rather than staying at The Venetian this time, I upped the … Continue reading
Weekend in L.A.
Wasn’t that the title of an old George Benson album? If so, it’s very appropriate for this post. Saturday morning I fled the fog of San Francisco for the sunnier climes of SoCal. This was my first time using AirBnB for lodging. The apartment I’d chosen was in West Hollywood, about 5 blocks from my … Continue reading
Up To My Old Tricks
It’s the eve before a flight and I’m doing my usual – procrastinating as much as possible. To be fair, I DID walk up a block after work to do a load of laundry. There are washers and dryers in our apartment building basement. However, the elevator hasn’t been working well for 2 or 3 … Continue reading
Aghi
Aghi is the Italian word for needles. The reason I was thinking of that word is because I remember having a conversation with an Italian guy and used the word “needles.” Can’t remember why. His response was “Oh, like the Chinese food!” That made me laugh. He obviously thought I was referring to “noodles.” I … Continue reading
