olde tymey blogging since twenty aught six
Whenever I’m sick, my friendly doctor asks if he needs to write me a note for work. Five years ago, I would have said yes. God forbid someone taking a little sick time without documentation. Now I just laugh and shake my head. My boss is two and a half. She can’t read your note, [...]

Last Wednesday I fell on the sidewalk like an 80 year old woman. I walked out of the post office wearing clunky new shoes and was distracted by some heavy machinery digging up the exit driveway. My feet were on the ground and my head was in the clouds until I stumbled, and suddenly it [...]

So it’s time once again for the dreaded annual exam. No, not this one — a hooha inspection is positively delightful compared to a mole check. If you’re questioning my sanity following that statement, think about this: when’s the last time your Lady Doctor whipped out a razor blade on the spot when she found [...]

There’s something peculiar and surreal about a man complimenting my glasses and socks when I’m wearing nothing but glasses and socks. Oh, and a stylish pink paper robe cut for minimum coverage and maximum humiliation. And yet I find myself in this situation right around this time every year.Yep, today was that very special day [...]

In fifth grade, we learned about ancient Egypt. History is not a favorite subject of mine, but my teacher’s lesson plans included a plethora of hands-on activities that made the whole unit memorable. We made a life-sized paper mache mummy. We carved sphinxes out of bars of Ivory soap. (Thanks to my horrendous fine motor [...]
