Mad Scribblings From the Life of a Middle-Aged New Nurse
Moba is an asshole. A bit more background information on our 70-year-old bad-art friend: Moba is recently single. Moba is also transgender. [Let me preface the rest of this article by saying that what I'm about to write includes my opinions based on observation. I am in no way painting those in the transgender community...

This has been a week of being spectacularly stupid. I don't know why. Maybe because it's the end of the summer which forms a Dumb Shit Nexus just in time for Labor Day. I don't know. All week long, I'd been making dumb mistakes at work. Fixable, but time consuming. At home, I was dropping... Continue Reading →
A friend of mine fancies herself an artist. Now, I myself was an artist once, so I may speak from a voice of some authority on the matter. Not that I did anything groundbreaking -- I found a niche market that happened to be perfect for what I did and became very successful at it.... Continue Reading →
The school year is starting a little early. Nursing classes don't officially begin until the first week in September, but things are getting active already. My first course to open up was my Microbiology class. I chose to take this as an online course through a different school. Much as I'd prefer to learn in-person... Continue Reading →
I was pondering this morning how much I'm losing my patience with people. When I call, they don't call back. I message, and I'm left on read. I keep thinking I'm just too damn old for this! I'd rather be alone than put up with a bunch of crap from men and bullshit excuses. Or... Continue Reading →
When is enough finally enough? A friend of mine was in an abusive relationship for over thirty years. Imagine that. DECADES voluntarily spent with someone that treats you like garbage. This friend -- who we will herein refer to as "Alan" -- is one of the kindest, most soft-hearted men you will ever know. He... Continue Reading →
Back in the day, I used to sing -- and for a while, I was also a well-known artist. For a time, I was a VERY big noise and wanted to be even bigger. I worked a crummy day job at a national company -- one might say I was working for a branch of... Continue Reading →
Perhaps you have visited a thrift store, found some amazing bargains, and daydreamed about what it would be like to work there. Maybe you had stars in your eyes about all the great finds you'd discover every single day. Designer duds. Antiques. Gold! Well I'm here to tell you what it's REALLY like. Welcome to...

Facebook is where it's at! EVERYONE is on Facebook in one form or another. Well, almost everyone. There are a few holdouts (there always are). If you aren't on Facebook you are: A) old; or B) weird. Sorry, but it's true. The unfortunate side effect of this localized registry of everyone on the planet is... Continue Reading →
Women love shoes. That's the stereotype. Strappy sandals, kitten heels, cute flats, penny loafers. Girls and their shoes, right? I've always theorized that the reason so many women love shoes is it's an item of clothing that doesn't change much if your weight goes up or down. If you gain 20 pounds, you can always...
