I have been sewing like a madwoman recently. I’ve been buying patterns of all sorts, downloading online ones and frequenting a fabric store at the rate of three times weekly. I am absorbed with knowing what fabrics, accessories, and which patterns work to create something wearable or functional. I’ve always been interested in sewing and [...]
Dazzled

Finally after months of deliberating by administrators and lawyers, my student Ch. began her work with me. I had written in advance to tell her that I expected nothing more initially than to have her shadow me. Almost immediately I saw that she could work independently and safely, and I let her do things which [...]
My daughter and I have been sharing blog posts this week. It’s very cool to be able to write together about interests we share. This post includes both her rendition and mine of Sept. 11, 2001. I had submitted mine to the local NPR station after they had asked for stories relating to 9/11. I [...]

Urgent care has gone back to three clinicians per evening on Mondays and Tuesdays which are considered the busiest days of the work week.

We were invited to our neighbor’s son’s wedding in central Texas. I opted not to go since the lodgings are bunks from a summer camp. The point is to have a quiet Sabbath and happy wedding celebration in isolation. I wish the couple well but have little tolerance for extreme heat and uncomfortable beds, much [...]
I’ve written about how people sometimes believe that I live two lives. I’m a true Gemini so this is partly true. It is also true that there are times when I am obliged to socialize with well-to-do people although mostly I steer clear of those scenarios. I have an irreverent streak that can emerge at [...]
Van Antics
By M G | August 9, 2011
I announced my retirement after August 30 from the health van to an anonymous person in their central office. This person has an incredible name actually but if I wrote it here, it would be googled and I would feel guilty. Trust me, it’s a one of a kind name. Word spreads fast among the [...]
