‘Passive Aggressive Living’ is my idea for a periodical, nothing like ‘Country Living.’It encompasses life with ‘Person-A,’ a 91-year-old parent (a carnivore) who moved in with ‘Human-B,’ the aging offspring, (a vegan) suffering from depression and anxiety caused in part by repressed anger.(This may not be about me.) The magazine will feature random glossy photos … Continue reading Passive Aggressive Living

Where Was The Ebenezer In Me?

New Year, New Beginnings, Again
Woo-hoo, Happy New Year! It must be so exciting for those of you with resolutions, (unless you’ve already broken them.) You have my giddy support, and my cynical eye-roll. I don’t partake in that tradition; I make lists. I am a bitter woman with a to-do-list that will always be written with an ostrich plume … Continue reading New Year, New Beginnings, Again
