2021-07-09 All’s Well that Ends Well
I’ve got just a little time today, and at the very least wanted to document for posterity that the day yesterday turned out ok despite the conflicted emotions over cancelled plans and personal insecurities. I went to CB and had a nice time with my friends (after my obligatory weekly visit with my dad, who…

2021-07-08 Teeter Totter Thursday
The holiday has come and gone and I’m back to checking my to-do list. I know I’ve put too much on it and will not be able to get it all done. I’m teetering. I’m not sure if I need to pull back from life a little more or if my answer is to dive…

2021-07-02 Wait a Day and the Forecast Will Change
In case anyone is playing along, I did not let the snafu with my ex go. I sent a follow up text pointing out that he literally contradicted his own “advice” to our son by ignoring my text message. And of course I couldn’t help but throw in that I don’t agree with him and…

2021-05-27 The Elephant in my Heart
After a time.. feel as though my hiding from the world at large is exhausting. Maybe I’m just exhausted from lack of sleep. No matter how productive I am, it’s not productive enough. Still.. was looking forward to today when I woke up. Despite the dishes piling up, clumps in the litter box piling up,…

2021-05-07 On This Day in History… 🤱
Seventeen years ago, at this very moment, I was gettin busy pushing a baby out my vagina. That’s pretty freaking amazing right? That I can grow a human being inside my body and then birth it into the world in a matter of hours. More amazing than that is the mystical act of parenting. That…
