2020-03-19 All Roads Lead to Madness

I’ve been awake since 5 am after sleeping less than 6 hours. I’d like to let my brain wander around for a while on things that are not pandemic related, but it’s a challenge. I have six hours of work meetings today and that’s something I might typically groan about but my outlook on it…
2020-03-18 What’s really on that glass container you are holding?…

(Yup, another one of those articles you have to read and endure all the way to the bottom to get the answer.) I’m a serious creature of habit and I like routine. It often means I dig my heels in and get stubborn about how things go but it also means I can easily get…
2020-03-16 SugarCookie Shit Series Episode 4: Let’s Party ☘️ 💻 ☘️🍷☘️

Today started the same as any other. We get up, make breakfast, and Jim leaves for work. The kids are on spring break which means they get to sleep in. I dial in for my 8am work meeting and prepare for a day of project requirement and deliverable discussions. It’s all going to be just…
2020-03-15 Out With the Old, In With the New

I’m briefly interrupting the current SugarCookie Series to write the Sunday Day Trip Status with a hint of realization and a pinch of actual stats. Where to start? An interesting thing happened when I opened this note, started to type, and realized the date. March 15th. The Ides!! Usually as this day approaches I think…
2020-03-14 SugarCookie Shit Series Episode 3: Battling My Arch Nemesis

I woke up early and laid in bed for a while thinking. No surprise there. Then I heard a familiar sound I haven’t heard in a while. Tiny claws scraping in the ceiling above our bed. Something scurrying from here to there right above my freaking head. I know it’s a mouse (or mice) as…
2020-03-13 SugarCookie Shit Series Episode 2: The Friday the 13th Edition 😱

What is it today besides Friday the 13th?? The first day my kids are off school because of the pandemic. 😷 The end of the week and I have not yet my weekly goal for submission. 😦 My thesis manuscript has turned into endless revisions with no light at the end of the tunnel. 😧…
2020-03-12 SugarCookie Shit Series Episode 1: The Lit Mag Identity Crisis

So this is a continuation of that post I wrote yesterday which is sort of a grand departure from my normal time, flow, format, way. Call it what you wan’t, it’s just different. Speaking of different, I’m starting up a new online lit mag. That’s pretty cool news eh? Turns out, when you start something…
2020-03-11 Desperately Asking the Universere for the Following…

#1. A day when I start writing this blog and don’t automatically type 2019 first, then have to backspace to fix it. I would even take a pause and typing the correct year the first time as a good compromise. #2. Some ability to have 20 uninterrupted hours in a row to get one whole…
2020-03-10 Recovering from Rant-Fest

Last night was the second night I slept in my old bed. Today is the second day I’m restricted from going anywhere in public or near other people. The terrible mood I was in yesterday has slowly faded and Jim and I talked about it last night. He offered that my dream and mood was…
2020-03-09 So What Monday Rant-Fest

It’s Monday. It’s 40 degrees colder outside than it was yesterday. It’s raining. There’s a new temporary household policy regarding going out to public places (except work and school) and also spending money. Just to be cautious. I get it. Yesterday I had a stuffy nose and felt kind of crappy. Last night before bed…
2010-03-08 Super Sunday Status ✅😱🤷‍♀️

What in the world would follow this Epic Week and Super Tuesday but a Super Sunday Status!! I fell off the Sunday Status wagon many moons ago and now I feel it’s time to put my big girl pants on and get back on it. I mean.. how else am I going to keep tabs…
