    2020-01-21 Nothing to See Here, Just a Little Clucking Going On šŸ„

    I know what I’m gonna want to know 5 years from now when I look back on this day. That it was 0 degrees when I woke up and I didn’t want to leave my house and oh, by the way, I’m getting married in 11 days and trying really hard not to freak out.…

  • 2020-01-18 In Two Short Weeks

    Yesterday we got our marriage license. Isn’t it amazing it only costs like 32 dollars to get legally married and potentially thousands of dollars to get legally divorced. Alternately, it costs potentially thousands of dollars to get ceremonially married and just two cents to get ceremonially divorced. Today we met with our officiant and he…

    2020-01-17 The Perfect Storm for Dissolving Doubt

    It feels like a Saturday because everything is closed. The radar when we woke up today looked like something from the movie ā€œThe Day After Tomorrowā€. A storm cell covering 1/4th of the country, starting in Minnesota and going all the way down into Texas, covering all of Nebraska moving slowly into Iowa. School was…

    2020-01-14 A Fast Moving Train

    Full speed ahead. 18 days to go and last night before falling asleep I touched my forehead to his forehead in bed and asked for him to help me with my anxiety. He promised me it would be alright and that when it comes to it, he’ll talk me away from the edge. That’s all…

    One of my goals at Residency is to blog my experience every single day. I almost made it. 8 out of 10 days made their way into the official record. Then things just started moving way too fast and my priorities and desires went elsewhere (appropriately). At the time I thought to myself that I…

    2019-12-21 Winter Solstice Baby

    We had a great Friday night last night hanging out and talking and randomly flipping through shows to watch, though we never found one. It feels a rare treat to get that QT with my fiancĆ© with no kids and no obligations to go anywhere or do anything. For a long while we just hung…

    2019-12-13 Island of Misfit Divinity

    When I was a wee lass my grandmother (my mother’s mother) always spent quite a bit of effort at Christmas time making cookies. It was part of her tradition and there was always a healthy spread of festive plates piled high with treats on card tables in the back room of the basement on Christmas…
