The Child: Lockdown Version
I started this post over a year ago and like many things which come to a grinding halt, so did this one. But it was too funny for me pass up posting it and since things are in a better state than they were a year ago, with the pandemic and its fallout, this post … Continue reading The Child: Lockdown Version
Hey..Don’t Mention It!
Everyone in my family knows how I cling to my coffee. The bros-before-hos kind of a thing but with coffee instead. After a quick siesta a little while ago, I made my usual non-verbal gestures to Red and asked him to make me a cup so I could shake off the afternoon meal from my … Continue reading Hey..Don’t Mention It!
Lockdown Day#1
While a lockdown hits hard at every aspect of our lives, today am far more upbeat than I have been in a long time! The reason is simple. My kid's online classes are coming to an end for 2 months. And Red and I will finally get back to being human parents rather than the … Continue reading Lockdown Day#1
Halfway To Healthy Living
Yup, you read that one correctly. It's a halfway, half-hearted or even half-assed attempt at living healthy with yours truly. Not because I don't care enough...hang on...I'm not entirely sure I do. Intensely care, that is. But since I drop the ball so often, I have to take a good, hard look at myself and … Continue reading Halfway To Healthy Living

I have experience firsthand with only one child and that's not counting the immature people in my life who refuse to grow up. I have one child. ONE. TO. But he might as well be part of a set of … Continue reading It’s A Hard Knock Life!
Breakfast Conversations On A Sunday
After a slightly longer than usual week where TO tested positive and then negative for Covid; we are back to enjoying family time around the dining table. And it feels great! It's lovely hearing him prattle along where I can share those amused side-eye glances with Red instead of the three of us being in … Continue reading Breakfast Conversations On A Sunday

Cabin Fever Blog#1
So tedium is finally settling in. A lack of a sense of urgency is hard to fight against consistently. Whether it's shoving TO into his school bus or waving Red off at the door, there's a sense of things being time bound. And now, there isn't. For a lot of things I think the part … Continue reading Cabin Fever Blog#1
Caffeine Bloglet
Am sniffly, have a stuffy nose and my head feels like it's full of rocks. Once I gave TO his afterschool snack, I made myself a cuppa joe and leaned into the cup in DEEEEP appreciation. The brat looked at me contemplatively and asked, " You love coffee more than me and P (Red) don't … Continue reading Caffeine Bloglet
