    2020-11-06 Flip that Script!

    I had over 7 hours of sleep and a sleep score of 84 last night so of course I feel as though I can kick the worlds ass and take all the names. I believe we are on the cusp of some really great news and that’s a big contributing factor too. If patience is…

    2020-11-05 Nothing New to Say Thursday

    Day 7 without a good nights sleep. It’s sort of like having a newborn without having to breastfeed. You go a little cray-cray after a while. I find myself being irritated at small things. I find myself giving up on stuff too easily. I’m walking a lot to try and compensate. I try to take…

    2020-11-04 A Body Waiting to Exhale

    No surprise this weeks posts are full of anxiety and thoughts about coping with things out of control. I might have previously professed that my aim is to steer clear of political conversation but it’s all but impossible, I’m afraid. I had a sliver of hope that yesterday would bring some relief, but still we…

    2020-11-03 Cheers to Mediocre Sex

    Guess what? It’s before 6AM and I’ve been awake for almost two hours (surprise, surprise). I woke from a disturbing dream just after 4am and proceeded to think about what it meant and everything else. The election, my angst, my headache, not being in Texas , my friend taking her kitty to the ER last…

    2020-11-02 What to do When the World is Bananas Part 2 🍌🍌

    I’m walking on the treadmill again.. because it is one thing in my life I can control. So much is out of control right now. I remind myself daily that I’m doing the best I can under the circumstances. I have to try and focus on positive things and enjoy the small victories. Today fell…

    2020-11-02 Dealing with Uncertainty (or what to do when the world is bananas) 🍌

    Last week I sold a car. While I was waiting in the waiting room for the paperwork to be completed, I cruised through a bunch of unopened emails. My version of wasting time which does not involve looking at social media. Lately I’ve subscribed to a lot of newsletters and communications from literary publications. I…

    2020-11-01 All Hallows Day

    The skies are clear. It’s a brisk 36 degrees out. And here in Nebraska, we’ve just fallen back. We’ve forgotten the reasons why and whether or not we are now saving daylight is a question we let google answer. We can’t be bothered with these details. Our phones take care of the time for us…

    2020-10-31 Seven Shrug Saturday 🤷‍♀️

    When waking up with headaches are the rule and not the exception, it’s hard to know if the 6AM Saturday throb is a hangover or not. 🤔 It’s probably a hangover. The older I get the less I can drink without feeling like shit. 🤷‍♀️ I remember my mom telling me some years ago that…
