 I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest... I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection... I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life... I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife... I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me... I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living... I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed. What you can expect to find here: the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
my love of irony
links to kooky news stories
way too much scatological musing for sane people

There is more medical doggie doo happening in my family that I won't get into here...but let's just say its a serious health issue that is like a punch in the stomach to my parents after they are still reeling from helping me out with Jack's loss.
Please share a prayer for all of them to make it through this awful situation.
I, myself, seem to be all prayed-out. I need to be a little selfish and save my energy for myself. Anyone who knows me, even if just via this blog, would find that to be "against type" but that's how I feel today. From what I understand about the process, I am "entitled" to my grieving and I'm not going to relinquish my progression in this journey due to external forces right now. Its better for everyone in the long run if I heal - physically and emotionally.
But at least in my part of town we have the cheery news of the White Sox victory. I think what made it all the more sweet was seeing G. Bush Sr's look of disappointment during that last out of the game last night. Booya, bushie! Chi-town kicks ass!!!!

You take all the time you need, and handle it any way you can. Not only are you entitled, but you need to do it.

Let us do the praying for a while. You take a break.
And I have a question ... at times like this does all of Chicagoland unite in their joy over the Sox's great victory, or is the area around 1020 W. Addison in as grouchy and sour a mood as is ol' Dubya right about now? | |

MORE medical doggie doo??!! Crap!
Yes, be selfish. You're certainly entitled, and like you say, it'll be better for everyone in the long run.
I don't follow MLB, but I'm glad your team won. | |

Amen to you taking care of yourself. That's what we like to hear. Consider the extra prayers on my list. | |

I know I sound like a broken record but try and hang in there. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sorry you are going thru many tough times these days. Hugs! | |

Sometimes its best to hunker down and take care of yourself. There seems to be a lot of woe right now and its like a hurricane. We try to survive the forces we can't control, so that we can offer assistance later. Take cae of you, get healthy and then you can deal with more.
The Sox sweep (Red and White) proves that miracles can happen. I personally am glad to see anything remotely attached to GW lose. Today the Astros, next year the congressional GOP | |
