Um, I couldn’t find a fancy meme with the right quote so how about a sunset pic from Naples instead? I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving doing whatever it is you chose to do. It was a quiet day here which was perfect. The clouds kept me from the beach but that’s ok. I […]

Happy Anniversary
So today is Twisted Kismet’s third anniversary! Time sure does fly! We’ll start with a brief update. I am officially done with the treatment plan and feel like I have mostly recovered. Next up will be a CT scan later on this week to determine if the treatment worked. I am feeling a bit anxious […]

It’s been a strange week. This post originally started (in my head) as an essay about how being single can make me feel incredibly alone. It sounded sort of whiny which was not the intent. Life is hard enough, it’s even hard flying solo without a safety net. And by safety net I mean a […]

Yes, this is an actual knight! The picture was taken in a military museum in Leeds and it might be the closest I will ever come to having a knight come into my life. So I mentioned that little voice inside my head in the last post but I guess I should mention there are […]

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to struggling a bit last week. In fact, I had pretty close to a meltdown and it has been a while for something like that. There were various things that happened, none really related, and for the most part I couldn’t even begin to explain why the events […]

A few weeks ago, I found this book titled “The Art of Non-Conformity” and borrowed it from the local library. I liked it so much, I bought it. Turns out I should have read the ENTIRE book before buying, not that it was awful, it just turned into something not all that earth shattering. I grew […]

I have to admit that I couldn’t think of a good title for this post, nothing seemed to fit. I had lunch with a friend today where a lively conversation was had on a wide range of topics. It’s an amazing thing when you find someone to talk to who just GETS it. The topic […]

So another round of holiday festivities is over. I may have mentioned before that holiday time is not necessarily my favorite time of year. It hasn’t been for many years. While I have learned to accept it, many others haven’t. But that’s an entirely different post. Every Christmas I travel back to Pennsylvania to be […]
