My COVID-19 Check In #2

October 8, 2020November 8, 20204 Comments

I hope everyone is doing well out there. We've been lucky. Despite my father and I working in dentistry (he's the dentist), nobody in our office has gotten sick. Anton, whose role is Infectious Disease Coordinator at the hospital, is okay. My sister in pediatrics has fared well, too. One of our cousins and her … Continue reading My COVID-19 Check In #2

Today at the Office

September 17, 2020September 17, 2020Leave a comment

Our glass store front allowed me to appreciate the rainy weather while I ran the front desk at our dental office. We had a lull between patients where I got to sit quietly (the phone had taken a breather) as I kept an eye out for the next appointment to pull up into our parking … Continue reading Today at the Office

My COVID-19 Check In

March 25, 2020October 15, 20205 Comments

I am the practice manager of a private dental practice, where I also currently serve as the receptionist and conduct initial screenings for COVID-19 for our office. Dental offices, if they choose to remain open, have been mandated by the state of Florida to only see patients with emergencies in order to keep toothaches and … Continue reading My COVID-19 Check In

Small Adventures Here and There

May 6, 2019May 6, 20198 Comments

For "Jeepy" was a Jolly Good Fellow My first car when I was 18 was a black 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Sport. A boxy little thing with more rust than paint, which was so bad that we joked it was a grey-and-rust colored Jeep instead of black. My brother Anton and I swapped cars when … Continue reading Small Adventures Here and There

Thoughts on the New Year

January 7, 2019January 17, 20192 Comments

Clearly I didn't finish all those scenes/stories before the January 1st. That's okay (I've come to terms that I'm always behind on writing). I had good times with family this December. Now the kids are headed back to school, Anton's back at university, and the adults are all returning to regular workdays. Anton and I … Continue reading Thoughts on the New Year

First Day of Summer

January 5, 2019January 7, 20194 Comments

Flanked by two hardback wheeled suitcases at either ankle, Gaston waited on the curb, watching the families from the surrounding low income area enjoy the sunbathed park across the narrow street. Behind him loomed an aged apartment complex---a concrete eyesore---which had been his home for the past ten years while he worked, attended university, and … Continue reading First Day of Summer

Inky Paws

November 24, 2018November 24, 2018Leave a comment

A sliver of natural luminescence slipped between handsewn curtains and glinted off the pearl black coat of a cat. The undersized feline hopped up from the window sill onto a ponderous oak desk, the most prominent feature of the quaint bedroom. The animal stalked past a Vive la France! mug bristling with writing implements; a … Continue reading Inky Paws

Sneaky Santa

October 18, 2018October 25, 20183 Comments

Today I'll tell a personal story (I get much writing inspiration from my relationships with family so it's important to me to remember and/or record favorite things). This story came up in a conversation earlier this week and it made me chuckle. Storytime!    One December about 5 years ago, we grown kids set about … Continue reading Sneaky Santa

The End of A Story Void

October 4, 20189 Comments

I've been gone from WordPress since February but, wow, it feels like it's been years. Shortly after 2018 began, despite the mayhem ensuing throughout this bizarre and demanding world, I realized I needed to be more proactive about my own life. Update Thankfully my situation is improved. I'm happy to report I've broken free from … Continue reading The End of A Story Void

A Simile Varnish

October 27, 2017October 29, 20174 Comments

I know I've mentioned this before but real people are the main source of inspiration for my fictional troupe. People are amazing and unpredictable, and every experience among them teaches. Without further ado, an experience of mine. Adventures in Dentistry: Meeting Mr. Hoyle During my awkward first months as a dental assistant, the receptionist Claire … Continue reading A Simile Varnish
