Joseph Petcka: Cat Killer.
(Don’t click any of the links below if you’re anything like me and can’t shake stories of animal abuse. I have half a mind to delete this post entirely. I feel terrible for calling attention to such a horrible news story.) Joseph Petcka deserves whatever comes his way. If that means being tormented by other…

The Epidural.
I stupidly began reading about my birthing options yesterday evening. Gave myself nightmares, I did. My birthing classes don’t start for another month but I figured I’d read up on some stuff, get to know it a little more, figure out what, exactly, might happen to me on the day I go into labor. Is…

The Inn At Little Washington
Two weeks ago Tobyjoe and I visited the Inn at Little Washington in Washington, Virginia. Our vacation was to last through the week (we were going to stay in Washington, DC for the rest of the week and visit friends) but we had to cut it short and take care of our very sick cat.…

Stuff About Things
My head I had a rough day yesterday. I half expected it since I had been feeling better. But yesterday hit me hard. I posted a few things here and then decided that I hated what I had written. So during one of my fits, I turned the posts off. They will return when I…
