2019-09-11 Hung Over Sunday Status
We had a shindig at the house last night and I’m feeling it this morning. Jim has a lot of relatives and so when we have a family gathering, it’s a pretty good size crew. No representation from my side. My one brother and one of my sisters live in Colorado and my other sister…

2019-08-07 The One About Fluff and Stuff
No.. those are not the names of my kitten cats, but they could be since they are so super soft. I didn’t get to walk this morning, or this afternoon like I had planned. The whole day has been drained away by other duties as assigned. I had a solid 4 and a half hours…

2019-07-24 Wild Wild West…
Or Wednesday or whatever. I have so freaking much I want to write about. I feel like I stepped out of the car when I arrived home on Sunday and right onto a carnival carousel that doesn’t have a stop button. Round and round I go. I still have thoughts from residency I’d like to…

2019-07-21 MFA Res Days 8 and 9 – Tough Choices
The last two days I’ve felt less anxiety and less pressure, mostly, yet still inspired by so many shiny objects.

2019-07-19 MFA Res Day 7 – Deep Breath
Compared to the three previous days waking up today, despite still only having just shy of 4.5 hours of sleep, I’m feeling much closer to my center. Perhaps it’s because I just woke up and am enjoying my routine already but it could also be the fact that we are on the downhill slide of…

2019-07-18 MFA Res Day 4 (And 5 And 6)- Going Beyond the Pale…
And trying to get back. I’ve pushed past cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and have moved into territory that is a little unfamiliar. Is this what this is supposed to be like? This has happened a little in the past two residencies but not like this one. I’m in such a strange headspace, bodyspace, universe space…

2019-07-16 MFA Res Day 3 – The Floodgates are Open
Yes, the floodgates are open now and it’s serious. They mean serious business. I’m seriously serious and afraid for my safety and sanity. I’m not being overly dramatic, I’m being… serious. Typically I would try to provide a brief synopsis of thought and feeling about the prior day, wrapping It with some overarching theme and…

2019-07-15 MFA Res Day 2 – Life is Wonderful
The day yesterday was certainly less action packed than the first and there were several sessions when I had the opportunity to sit, listen, and think without the expectation for something in return. There were also several noteworthy highlights that made the day so, so wonderful. In chronological order, the workshop where my writing was…
