2020-05-29 “Everything’s cool as long as I’m getting thinner”
That title is a line from the Lily Allen song appropriately titled “The Fear”. Half of the lyrics are about life and mass consumption and the way we seek after fortune and how society is all fucked up. The other half is confessional. It’s Admitting to confusion and not knowing what’s real and feeling taken…

2020-05-28 Hide and Seek
I start walking. I start writing. That’s my way. Lately I’ve felt like it’s all just the same shit on a different day. I’m inches away from getting my MFA in Poetry and I haven’t written anything worthy of a poem in months. A few times when I took a class with the “Todfather”, I…

2020-05-27 Paranoia
Dear Diary, I question your motives and intentions. I question the nature of our relationship. And I question the validity of your perceived value. It’s impossible to write without considering ones audience. Without the audience, there’s no hook. There’s no message. There’s no purpose. Or is there? I read a book of poetry once that…

2020-05-26 Nothing to Read Here, It’s all just a Dream
This week is going to be a doozie. Today is going to be a doozie. I’ve got meetings solid from 9:30 through to 5:30 with a one hour break mid- afternoon. I’m still not 100% recovered from last week and will have to try really hard to put my game face on. It was a…

2020-05-25 The Sign on the Door Says “Beware of Dragons”…

2020-05-24 Sushi Sunday Anyone? 🍣
We had a glorious thunderstorm last night (apparently) and I woke at the end of that, happy to hear the rain as I’ve done some planting of annuals in pots the last week or so and every day it rains is a day I don’t have to. Thanks Universe! I also went back to sleep…

2020-05-23 Laundry Day 🐱
Yesterday was the worst day I’ve had in a long time. I was on such an emotional edge almost all day and barely made it through all the things I had to do. I participated in an early meeting with a client in which my only responsibility was to take notes and have my brain…

2020-05-22 How does one protect those they love from a broken heart?…
On this day 27 years ago, I got married. That lasted 17 years. And in case your curious, nobody gives out prizes for that. I didn’t get a gold star when I was married 10 years and yeah, the marriage was a big party after which there were a few pats on the back, hugs…
