I'm dipping my little lima bean toes back into the cool waters of a new blog.
I've been trying to motivate myself to write for a very long, defeated time. Time and time again, dropping off into the abyss of my procrastination. The Miserable Redhead blog keeps the score of my attempts and failures to be productive as a writer and although it amuses me to read through my various posts, it also saddens me to see my procrastination in bold.
But! I'm picking myself back up and "giving it the old college try" as my dad used to say.
Aligned with my partner's discharge from the hospital today, I am riding the wave of optimism. Jolynn is battling cancer. Her much anticipated bone marrow transplant was 2 weeks ago, today. And today, she is being discharged from the hospital!
She's making a come back. I am making a come back.
I feel strongly that lima beans should make a come back. Have you tried to find them in the frozen food isle of your favorite grocery store? Lima beans have become a delicacy, slipping from mainstream corn and bean shelves. This saddens and confuses me. More on that later.
For now, I'm back. And so is Jolynn!
