    2020-04-27 Today’s Big News Top 5 List

    It’s Monday again but not just any Monday. Lots of big things to report on. Perfect for a top 5 List: Thesis = Done (I’ve said that about 4 other times, but I think this is it. Yes, I still have to print copies and send to the university by snail mail, but I’m not…

    2020-04-26 Sunday Un-Status

    Well.. today is the actual deadline for getting my thesis submitted for a formal format check but since I sent that off last week, I’ve already got my reply.

    It could be any rainy day. It could be any April day. It could be any other day in the known and unknown calendars of the universe. But it’s not. It’s today. I didn’t have my walk today and just a little bit ago I had to take my Fitbit off cuz the battery is…

    This has been a long week and I’m happy to be nearing the end. I gave myself a goal to finish my Thesis before Friday so I could just let go for the weekend. The format check by the program coordinator and thumbs up from the second reader are the only other hurdles before it’s…

    2020-04-21 Second Draft

    I just realized when I was posting my words today that I have been mixed up on my dates for several days now. I started typing this morning and had the date as the 19th and of course it’s not. In other news.. A friend of mine made a comment today about life in the…

    2020-04-21 Longest Day EVER!

    There I go being overly dramatic again. If you ask me how I feel about my dramatic tendencies, my answer will depend on my mood. Today I’m feeling plucky so I’ll just say, it’s part of my charm. It was a long day though. And quite an atypical one compared to most of the SugarCookie…

    2020-04-18 Wavelengths and Pages and Need for Connection

    Exactly one week from today is the deadline for getting my MFA thesis completed and in the proper format with all the required sections and content. Should be a snap cuz most of it has been done for weeks. I’ve just been fiddling with some of the poems and negotiating with my mentor about a…
