First post

Today I write my very first post for this blog. I have no idea where this website is going to go—I just wanted a place where I could write about whatever strikes my fancy at the moment.

I have written a few diaries about politics off and on for years at Daily Kos—so there will probably be more than a few political posts on this site. If you are a forced birther or a far-right type, you probably won’t like most of the stuff I write about. I write a lot about women’s rights issues in particular, as well as many other political topics. There are plenty of websites and YouTube channels for your kind, however. Red State is that way.>>>>>

I work in healthcare, so I will no doubt end up writing a few pieces here and there about healthcare related issues. I also have an adult child with severe autism, so that is also a topic I will probably write about.

I like to cook and garden. I will probably share some recipes and write articles about gardening and preserving food. And speaking of gardening….climate change may force us all to alter the way we take care of our lawns, grow flowers, and raise vegetables at home. I think it might be interesting to explore this topic.

I also enjoy finding ways to save a dollar where I can—so I will probably write some stuff on those topics as well. I like to find ways to reuse and recycle everyday items, as well as looking for deals on things I normally use. I will share this sort of information as I find it.

This blog is being written for regular, ordinary people just trying to live their lives. I hope I share some things that you the reader find useful.
