I found out about the existence of tree stump gravestones thanks to one of my favorite websites, Atlas Obscura. Last Thursday evening I was driving by a cemetery in Cicero, Indiana and spotted a tree stump gravestone from the road, so I decided I would visit Cicero again and take some photos. It turned out … Continue reading Tree Stump Gravestones

Snap Judgments
I have a tendency to make some snap judgments based on face and body language, especially when it comes to men - a sort of active threat assessment. Today while out for my early morning walk I passed a ruddy, middle-aged jogger twice my size and he greeted me with a hearty good morning and … Continue reading Snap Judgments
Everything I Want
So many things were said in Sunday's conversation with my husband that some little details had fallen by the wayside, but I remembered one just now: He's convinced I'll get what I want, while he's left with the fallout of my actions. I didn't even have the energy to address that in detail at the … Continue reading Everything I Want
Burgers & Blue Jeans
In a departure from my recent navel-gazing, I'm writing about something I've pondered in the past, which was originally brought to mind years ago by my interest in eating and fashion. (Note I said an interest in eating, not an interest in cooking or baking!) There are foods that are often associated with a particular … Continue reading Burgers & Blue Jeans
Up And Down And All Around
I'm really hating the ups and downs of my life, especially when I'm trying to do my best to be careful and avoid the downs and get that thrown in my face. Another conversation with my husband, in which he first expressed - again - his frustration that we weren't doing something to fix things. … Continue reading Up And Down And All Around
I Had A Great Day
I woke up early enough on Saturday that I was able to be relaxed about getting myself together and getting out the door and on the road. Traffic was light and the drive was a breeze. I managed to get to M's house with just one minor mishap where I passed the road I needed … Continue reading I Had A Great Day
First Impressions
Tomorrow I'm supposed to meet two friends I've known online for years but will now get to meet in person for the first time - first M, then H. My period has started. My face is angry about the period and angry about my attempt at makeup a couple of days ago. I probably shouldn't … Continue reading First Impressions
I Had A Good Day
While the day began on the unpleasant flavor left by last night's dream, it improved considerably as time went on. I had a nice time chatting with A and H throughout the day, combining it with listening to music and actually getting a little bit of stuff done, like putting away my laundry and clearing … Continue reading I Had A Good Day
Dream: Space Colonists & Accidental Abandonment
It's funny that I can more or less shrug off horror themed dreams, even ones that were somewhat frightening and traumatic while happening, but other dreams with seemingly benign settings turn out to be gut-wrenching. Last night I only remember one dream. I think I started off as myself, but in another existence - I … Continue reading Dream: Space Colonists & Accidental Abandonment
An Assortment of Photos
I'm so proud of myself, and shouldn't be. I finally figured out how to put an image inside a post and it was so easy it's pretty clear I should have figured it out months ago. So, um, I guess I'm going to devote this post to sharing some pictures that would have made it … Continue reading An Assortment of Photos
