2020-05-08 Looking Forward and Daydreaming about the Return of Normal
I’m feeling good today. Things “feel” like they are going my way again. It’s the end of the workweek and I’ve accomplished a lot and have a good plan for how the next month or two are going to play out. There’s a lot to do but my contribution is important and that means a…

2020-05-07 Cheers to 16 Years!… 💚💙💚
Today I slept through Jim’s alarm and didn’t wake up till 7:15 and was groggy. Strange to wake up alone and miss making breakfast and seeing him off to work. Strange to wake up alone In the house as no kids are here either. Strange to shuffle around In silence, asking Alexa the news while…

2020-05-05 What a Girl Really Wants 🍷
Yesterday was a long day. Just a blur. And I’m tired. I had that thing happen again, where I was inspired to write something but I was in the middle of something else and couldn’t just drop everything to get that down. I thought, foolishly, for the hundredth time that it would linger around long…

2020-04-30 Light-Bulb Stories
It never fails. At some point each day I will have a conversation or thought and that’s followed by the lightbulb over my head lit up by the notion that it’s a topic I should blog about. Two days ago I had a conversation with my daughter about her thoughts on her parents drinking. (Yeah,…

2020-04-29 Mathematics and Other Tragedies
I could draw myself into a spiral. I could pretend to be a straight line or paint my life as an isosceles triangle in perpetual motion. The faster it spins, the more the points blur into circles that create borders that can’t be penetrated. If I was reborn as a star, would I have five…

2020-04-28 Hidden Tracks, Nostalgia, and Serious Feels
I’m listening to a new playlist I created last week. It’s pretty much the bomb and full of songs I’ve forgotten I loved so much and some new ones I didn’t even know I owned. Each new selection leads down another road of thought, which is pretty incredible, but it makes me feel sort of…
