I’m inching my way back to the land of the living! Concentration can still be hard, though, so I’m grateful Melanie’s offered up questions to lead the way…


Who do you think is an example of a successful person?

Someone who finds their calling in life. Some people are lucky enough to make a living at it; others make space in their off hours.

Why are you doing what you’re currently doing? (Take this in any context you like, either as a “what you’re doing RIGHT NOW THIS SECOND” or “what you’re doing in your life at this point” or any other way that occurs to you. The question is a bit ambiguous.)

I’m blogging in an orthodontist’s waiting area because a) I’m out of isolation and was able to bring my kiddo to their appointment, b) I’ve been trying to ease back into blogging, and c) it makes the time go faster.

What is your personal theme song?

Right now? “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child. Bless.

What do you think about tofu?

I held a pretty strong anti-tofu position for decades then felt meh, whatever about it for another few years. But when a doctor urged me to try primarily eating fish/vegetarian with the occasional chicken I was looking for another source of protein. Turns out if prepared and spiced well tofu can be pretty darn tasty.

Where did you find bliss this past week?

The kitties took very good care of me while I was sick. Even on my icky days there was something about a cat tucked in behind my knees or curled up on my lap that lifted my spirits.
