Man, What A Downer This Blog Has Been Lately

Just because I’m having a crap time doesn’t mean the rest of you have to suffer! So let’s see, what’s going well in Robyn’s life… She found her wedding ring.  In Simon’s sock drawer.  Which was behind her when she tripped. So the universe conspired as not only did the drawer have to be open, [...]

In Case Anyone Is Wondering

I didn’t go to Iain’s funeral. I am not sure I can explain why, except it didn’t feel right (and had nothing to do with not having anything to wear, honest).  I have been saying good bye to him a little bit each day and grieving in my own quiet way. If anyone would like [...]

Today Tops The Crappy Day List

I can’t talk in detail about part of it, because I don’t really know who reads this and who doesn’t and I don’t want to spread a certain item of news through my blog, but suffice it to say, its bad.  I’ve lost someone I’ve known for quite awhile (not a family member) who I [...]
