2021-09-25 Happy FIVE-OHHH Bro! 🎉🚀🌕
Today I’m walking to try and rid myself of a headache that was probably induced by too much to drink at dinner last night. Some cocktail with a clever name I can’t recall. I suppose if it was really clever I’d remember it. 🤷♀️ After two of those I switched to amaretto sours which have…

2021-09-24 Over it.. Already
It’s day 5 of going to the hospital and I’m already over it. I hate that it feels obligatory and routine. I hate that it seems to cut my day in half. I don’t use the word hate a lot but in this case it fits. What’s a girl to do? To balance things out…

2021-09-22 Take Over, the Breaks Over
The Break’s Over? What break? The one where I don’t have to drive to the hospital every damn day, check in at the front desk to get my Covid clearance sticker, and sit at my mom’s bedside. We checked into the hospital yesterday afternoon and she went into surgery this morning. I was there when…

Trending: Princess Beatrice is a mom! But nobody knows who Beatrice is because Gabby’s body might have been found and some Russians are dead too.

2021-09-18 Just Another Typical Saturday with a Side of Health Updates
Today is Saturday and I’m walking on the treadmill while things are still peaceful here in the castle. It’s going to be a busy day. I’ve got a poetry workshop I’m looking forward to attending that starts at 10am and after that my son is having a group of friends over to the house for…

2021-09-15 Dealing with Deadlines and a Midlife Identity Crisis
Today is the day. The day the materials—manuscript, bios, artwork, and blurbs—for my book are due. So far my biggest issue with this process has been the very hands-off-and-on-your-honor approach my publisher has had with regard to what they need from me. I’m great with deadlines. I manage my time well. They have made the…

2021-09-14 The One About (Not) Dealing With Inequitable Partnerships
I’m really very tired of writing about the same things over and over and really wish I could get out of the funk that is, for all intents and purposes, self-inflicted. I’m also not sure what direction this particular piece of writing will go given the Rolodex of thoughts infesting my tired mind. In exactly…
