Hard to believe it, but did you realize that tomorrow is October? Pretty soon the the grocery store will be chock full of pumpkins and evil chocolate candy. And right on cue comes my need to spend lots of time in the kitchen. Last year I tried to make pumpkin ravioli. And in case you [...]

I am so excited I can hardly stand it. After a lovely break a new season of U.T.E.R.U.S. is upon us. For those of you unfamiliar with this amazing internet movement I will give you a little background. This past February I was seriously in a bad, bad place. I was in the midst of [...]

GM woke up as herself today. She was sweet and kind and receptive of help. I wanted to hold on to her and never let go this morning. Instead I found myself kissing her forehead or squeezing her soft shoulders as often as she would allow. When GM is this lovely I feel like the [...]

As is our giant fear whenever GM has a change to her routine, she completely disconnected from reality Saturday morning.

The appointment at the skin place was interesting. We were supposed to meet with a nurse practitioner. And we did. And she took a look at the “blood blister” on GM’s arm and went to fetch the doctor on call. He took one look at it and asked if our schedule was clear tomorrow. So [...]

* I swear it isn’t a spoiler, but how effing cool was the guest cameo of The Greatest American Hero on Heroes? Believe it or not, it was him! * GM’s blood blister on her arm hasn’t changed at all and I am worried that it might be something more. Taking her to super fancy [...]

Mother has had to listen to me obsess on and on about finding potstickers to either make or consume for literally weeks now. The need was deep and almost primal. After much research we have determined that what the local PF Chang’s calls “dumplings” is indeed my coveted potsticker. They serve it with “potsticker sauce”! [...]
