2021-07-22 California Adventure Day 0: No Love for San Fran (But Big Love for My Z) ❤️
San Francisco and I have a storied past. In all honesty, if it were up to me, I wouldn’t visit again. I’m not really a fan. I think the city is overrated and don’t quite understand the appeal. Am I not cultured enough or hip enough to “get it?” Perhaps. But arriving yesterday I was…

2021-07-01 The One To My Ex About Actions and Consequences
To admit you feel as though you want revenge is to admit to being human. That’s my excuse. I’m human and therefore flawed in all the miraculous ways human beings are. It’s a miracle that we are here at all— stranded on this spiral arm of stars. I’m flawed for feeling as though I’m enjoying…

2021-06-12 The Security Camera Saga: A Prequel 🎥
A prequel? Hmmmm… This is new. The briefest definition of “prequel” that I have found is a story or movie containing events that precede those of an existing work. And for sure I began writing this blog post several days ago with the intent to get into the weeds of the analysis I was doing…

2021-06-05 Cliches About Time are Cliche Because of Their Truth
The push and pull of all these days blurs into a gravity that begs to be let go of. Time is relative. Emotions are relative. Thoughts are relative. The next thing can only be measured against the last and the moment in time that lingers longer than it should, repeating itself in the mind, becomes…

2021-05-29 KC Road Trip Part 1: It’s All Going to Be OK
This is new. My daughter is having her first “friend” road trip/weekend and I’m backseat chaperoning and trying not to backseat drive. She drives like a teenager—too fast, following too close, and extremely irritated when I offer pointers. I’ve seen what she calls her most social finger waving to me from the driver’s seat at…

2021-05-27 The Elephant in my Heart
After a time.. feel as though my hiding from the world at large is exhausting. Maybe I’m just exhausted from lack of sleep. No matter how productive I am, it’s not productive enough. Still.. was looking forward to today when I woke up. Despite the dishes piling up, clumps in the litter box piling up,…

2021-05-18 Music as Inspiration and Other Rando Crafty Thoughts…
I’ve had my new phone for over a week and finally.. FINALLY.. got my music library loaded. So now I’m officially down to using one device daily. 💃💃💃 This morning, instead of picking a playlist, I’m listening to the ultimate shuffle—all the songs that are in my library. Another advantage of my new phone is…

2021-05-07 On This Day in History… 🤱
Seventeen years ago, at this very moment, I was gettin busy pushing a baby out my vagina. That’s pretty freaking amazing right? That I can grow a human being inside my body and then birth it into the world in a matter of hours. More amazing than that is the mystical act of parenting. That…
