    2023-05-09 Dear Sugar…

    Sometimes you stumble upon a show that just gets you. That hits every note and at the same time, miraculously also helps you discover something new about yourself. Yup. That’s “Tiny Beautiful Things.” On Hulu. Ok. Thinking about this is making me feel a little uncanned. Uncanny? Un-something and also quite validated. Strange, yes, but…

    2023-04-30 Cycles of Melancholy and Madness

    For months I’ve been trying to puzzle out my problem (ok, ok, years or probably my whole damn life)… but for arguments sake let’s just call it months because that’s how long I’ve been experiencing a growing concern about how I feel on a daily basis. This nagging angst coupled with a deep desire to…

    2023-04-11 There’s No Way Like the Just Say “No” Way…

    My current declaration is that I am backing off from making new commitments and revoking goals that have previously been set. I’m just saying “no.” I don’t have any more professional public appearances on the books and have completely let go of *most* of my monthly resolutions—No dietary modifications, writing objectives, reading quotas, exercise directives,…

    2023-04-05 Passover or Whatever

    Passover, flyover, rollover. Over and over, until you die from it. Forget it. Good gravy!  ❌ Content warning… E.T. is mentioned seven times in this post. Eight if you count this warning. I did a thing yesterday and didn’t die from it and my reward was to wake up and spend another day marveling at the mysteries of…

    Oops.. I did it again.  What?  I wrote a post that I never posted. /shrug  Made a goal and then didn’t achieve it. /yup Developed a good, healthy new habit and then lost it. #truth (followed by gaining back the pounds I lost in January and February.. ugh!) So what’s the point anyway?  To eat…

    2023-03-23 Mid-March Woes

    I’m all out of shows I’ve got interest in watching and no desire to crack open a podcast or audio book so I guess to pass the time l’ll try and get some words out. I apologize in advance for any unorganized chaos or ranting. If it’s in my brain, it’s about to come out…. …

    2023-03-19 Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

    Today’s post is brought to you by the song “The Way” by the band Fastball, which I’ve committed to listening to on repeat until I’m good and satisfied with where my mind is going… As a child I frequently daydreamed about running away from where I was and being somewhere else–anywhere else. Often that “somewhere…
