    2019-07-30 NYC Day 5 – A Girl and Her Limits

    Nothing like trying to remember exactly what life was like 48 hours and 1,241 miles ago, especially when traveling has created a haze around everything. Where was I at again? Oh yeah, New York City. It was a Monday in the year 2019 and I was just a girl traveling with her family and trying…

    2019-07-18 MFA Res Day 4 (And 5 And 6)- Going Beyond the Pale…

    And trying to get back. I’ve pushed past cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and have moved into territory that is a little unfamiliar. Is this what this is supposed to be like? This has happened a little in the past two residencies but not like this one. I’m in such a strange headspace, bodyspace, universe space…

    2019-07-16 MFA Res Day 3 – The Floodgates are Open

    Yes, the floodgates are open now and it’s serious. They mean serious business. I’m seriously serious and afraid for my safety and sanity. I’m not being overly dramatic, I’m being… serious. Typically I would try to provide a brief synopsis of thought and feeling about the prior day, wrapping It with some overarching theme and…

    2019-06-30 Super-Sized Sunday Status

    It’s official.. Half the year is done. There’s no time like late on a Sunday where the digits outside are soaring to get some steps in my cool basement and reflect upon the status of things. I used to take some time most Sundays and look at how my sleep, and exercise, and healthy eating…

    2019-06-27 The Pursuit of Happiness

    It doesn’t feel like it should be the middle of the week already, but indeed it is. It does not feel like July is just around the corner, but indeed it is. June was supposed to be my “break” between finishing work and starting back to school and quite frankly I feel like it’s flown…

    2019-06-05 Ten Random Things…

    Easy Like Lemon-Squeezeeee… 1. My Fitbit died yesterday for no apparent reason. I’m torn between contacting the company (because it’s not that old and stuff shouldn’t just stop working like that), not replacing it and seeing how life goes on without it, and running right out this morning to buy a new one. 2. We…

    2019-05-31 May the Thirty First

    It’s the last day of the Month and at the present moment I’m looking at myself in the mirror and asking “What have YOU done?”. This constant soul searching is quite draining. But literally.. I’m on the treadmill in my basement that faces a mirror and I’m staring at myself. Seems pretty vain but it’s…

    2019-05-29 The Ultimate Human Condition

    Today is the last day of school for my kids and so it’s likely to be the last day for me to spend QT with my most beloved elliptical machine (at my gym across the street from the school). I’ll likely spend the summer getting to know the equipment in the exercise room in my…
