Survey in Day by Day
“CAN YOU FILL THIS OUT WITHOUT LYING?” Depends on your questions. I’ll let you know at the end of the survey. What was the last food you ate? Those little chocolate covered devil’s food cupcake w...
Some Consequences of DNA Searches in Day by Day
When my second cousin’s son started the process for dual citizenship with Italy (yet another entry in itself), he got lots of hints from the Ancestry website. One name kept popping up that he cou...
Of Strife and Love in Day by Day
Me: He’s gonna make them drag him out of the White House, kicking and screaming. My husband: Hope they don’t put his stuff out on the curb. Me: I hope all the poor people who live in the shadow o...
Darla in Day by Day
I’ve known Darla for over 20 years. She struggles to survive. When I first met her and her husband, we bonded because they were from the Boston area and because their son was in the church nurser...
Putting This Here in Day by Day
Today’s drama: “I think Democrats committed fraud by buying up all the tickets.” I mean, where do I even start? Do I even want to? No. If that person is too dumb to not even know the definition o...
Oh, For Heaven's Sake! in Day by Day
So, since we are locked into a “my country is better than yours” silliness, let me return tit for tat without further comment: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-19/coronavirus-covid-19-100-deat...
Doctor Trump to the Rescue in Day by Day
I am SO not supposed to be here, but how could I not at least make a comment? Doctor Trump is now advising that people should drink bleach and alcohol. I think his followers should try it and let...
Five Years Today in Understanding the Unthinkable
Today marks 5 years that Nick has been absent from our lives. Every June 20th goes by without a birthday celebration. There are no calls and there never will be again. Just a deafening silence th...
I Should Be in Day by Day
I should be writing up a report on a young woman (we helped start her own food truck business), filling out Christmas cards, and putting up the tree, so that’s what I’m going to do, but just want...
Yeah, Yeah, I Know... in Day by Day
…I never call, I never write, it’s a wonder you still read! It may be a while before I write again. Mr. Laptop is freezing on me. It took all day to get online. Nothing but buffering. I knew it w...
Weather Changes, Self-Care, and the Details of Life in Day by Day
We are having a lovely day here in Florida. A gentle breeze, humidity is low, the sun warms the skin, and the soft blue skies are dotted with cloud puffs. It will change in the wee hours of the m...
Of Grants and Storms and Health in Day by Day
I’ll be offline this week and next. Not COMPLETELY offline, but not as interactive as much, as I begin to write a new grant. The focus this time is on women and children. Grant givers are much li...
Life Rolls On in Day by Day
Let’s get the unpleasantness out of the way first: I am NOT surprised that Trump would attack the Labor leaders on Labor Day. In fact, I fully expect him to criticize mothers on Mother’s Day. Aaa...
A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That in Day by Day
It’s quiet, for a Monday. The mail carrier never came today, so that reduces the workload, too. Not to mention that it’s always quiet toward the end of the month. We have a non-profit meeting la...
This is Me, Procrastinating in Day by Day
I’m writing a new grant and since its been a few months since I’ve run the numbers, I need to do a lot of tedious entries to compile the data and then turn it into statistics. I’m struggling to g...
Empty Lives in Day by Day
I’m now being accused of sending threatening messages to others on facebook. It is obviously a fake page. Before you accuse ME, post a picture of the screen page please. My facebook page is known...
Where Does YOUR Compassion Lay its Head? in Day by Day
I should be working on the agenda for tonight’s meeting. I should be preparing for the final budget class with my kids in the non-profit. I should be doing a dozen other things. Instead, I am tr...
Fallen Behind in Day by Day
Yes, yes, yes, I’m falling behind and feeling like the White Rabbit, checking her watch and trying to keep up. So much, so much and I don’t know where I left off and I’ve no time to go back and c...
Flowers! in Day by Day
We’re enjoying the color burst of blooming flowers these days, so I thought I’d share some photos with you. My husband grabbed the camera to get some shots of wild parakeets feeding on the black ...
Another One Bites The Dust in Day by Day
Okay cuties, I’m over at OD under Mama Blue, but I don’t think I’ll bother. I went back a few times, looked around, and wasn’t overly impressed. I’ve enjoyed the experience. If you wish to connec...
Mondays! in Day by Day
It certainly is a Monday! I wanted to stay in bed a little longer this morning (cooler weather), but got up to get ready for my pedicure appointment, only to find out an hour later that the appoi...
Success! in Day by Day
The Festival on Saturday was a success. Our non-profit was in the VIP tent, which was at the entrance, so everyone had to pass us first (also the place where volunteers checked in), giving us lot...
Award Night in Day by Day
I’m to receive an award tonight at the inspirational conference held at our church. The speakers go around the country, inspiring women and honoring those who have overcome adversity and gone on ...
Went to the ER in Day by Day
I went to the ER tonight, along with half of my city. I have Flu A, but no pneumonia. They tripled the breathing machine meds and that made a huge difference (except it also gives me the shakes) ...
The Third Time is NOT the Charm in Day by Day
I am sick. AGAIN. I told my husband if he brought this horrid flu back into the house one more time, I’m divorcing him! This bout is the worst I’ve had. The congestion in my chest will not break ...
