2022-03-18 Sometimes the Wandering Leads to An Idea
Nothing has changed between yesterday and today yet here I am again, resisting the urge to start watching a new show; resisting the urge to go back to bed. I’m still thinking about the same things. About my on-again-off-again submission pushes (currently off), all my other goals, and, of course, questioning if I’m on the…

2022-02-03 I Need to Write This
When I say I need to write this, what I mean is that I need to try and work through my thoughts and feelings. I need to come to terms with what’s happened, document my perspective for posterity, and try to find some internal resolution and peace. That’s what this is. Yesterday I had a…

2022-01-20 Waiting.. and More Waiting + Thinking About Death
A week ago my uncle was taken by ambulance to a hospital in CB. Same day he was transferred to a hospital in Omaha and prepped for surgery for a subdural hematoma—bleeding around his brain. Now it’s a week later and he’s awake but has been unresponsive. Still intubated, as I understand it and my…

2022-01-10 Another Year in the Rearview
And what a year it was! Am I right??!! Sometimes when I’m on vacation and I have extra time, I elect to write about how it’s going. If I have a lot of extra time, there are pictures. That’s lovely to revisit later, but who has that kind of time? I’m usually more about the…

2021-12-26 The Christmas Unwrap 🎄🌟🎁
Hello Friends. It’s been a strange holiday indeed. Where to begin? Where to begin? How about everything that feels normal? Both of my kids have been home since last Monday, almost a week and that, in and of itself, is comforting. Even if they are independent and don’t really need me anymore, it is nice…
