67Brain Zaps
I have no idea what other people call them, but I call them brain zaps. I get them when I’m tired, and I’m tired a lot. I have insomnia and since I’ve stopped taking Ambien I can count on not sleeping a couple nights a week. I lie in...

67Gardening, NOT Ants, on my Mind
Seed catalogs arrive daily and I mark up pages, add up columns and generally salivate over new offerings. I don't have room for a vegetable garden (unless I traded the front lawn for it which I will not do, much to my husband's chagrin), but I...

55The Downside of Cooper, the Sometimes-not-so-awesome Dog
Yesterday was not one of Cooper's best days. He was acting funny as I was drinking my morning coffee, but he wasn't going to the door. He was just sitting there, making a noise like he'd swallowed a squeak toy (he hadn't) and paying at my leg. I...
