I’m just having difficulty adapting to the changes in my life. As usual, I’m having difficulty with my time management. As my regular […]

Experiencing Technical Difficulties
I’ve received emails from some of you that are concerned I’ve abandoned my blog. No worries, I plan to stick around for a good long while. I’m experiencing difficulties with my web host provider. After many years of being a very happy customer, they’ve been letting me down for the past few weeks. I’ve been […]
Binge Watching, Depression and Isolation
I love binge watching. In our home we choose not to have cablevision, so if Maurice and I decide to follow a series we have to watch it on Netflix. If we find we like a show we begin binge watching. For those of you who have not heard of binge watching, it is viewing […]

As long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with time management. Habitually late, homework, essays, projects and reports all past due. I’ve always felt I had more things […]
Post-Holiday Depression
I’m struggling right now. Had fun on both Thanksgiving and Christmas and a wonderful, quiet New Year’s Eve playing games with friends. I’ve read and heard many ideas how to keep the holiday blues away, but the holidays have never been a problem for me. In fact, I love Christmas. I struggle, as I am […]
Return to Involuntary Institutionalization?
In 1963 President Kennedy signed The Community Health Centers Act. The purpose of the Act was to deinstitutionalize the mentally ill and support them through community mental health clinics. The law drew enthusiastic bipartisan support. Fiscal conservatives were interested in saving funds by shutting state hospitals. Civil rights advocates believed that mental patients needed to […]
