    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…

    2020-04-17 I’ve Got Too Much “Poor Me” in My Poetry

    To be fair, I’m really referring to just the one poem I’ve reworked a hundred different ways and each time I try to sneak it into my manuscript, my mentor says “nope”. To be fair, he’s only seen two versions of it and not the fifteen I wrote before or the 30 I thought about…

    2020-04-13 Accepting a New Way

    For the first time ever I got a sleep score above 90. According to my FitBit the score for my sleep last night was 91 which equates to excellent. Wowza! Last night I didn’t have much to think about in the way of what “has” to get done this week. My work hours have been…

    2020-04-12 Hoppy Sunday Status 💜🐰🌷

    It’s Easter. I rarely went to church as a kid (as in almost never) and so for me the holiday is all about bunnies, and baskets, and egg hunts. I actually collected stuffed bunnies when I was a kid and so each Easter, another member was added to my little family. I never owned a…

    2020-04-09 Naturally Nervous

    It doesn’t matter if I’ve known you my whole life or if we’ve just met. I’ll be nervous thinking about getting together. I’ll spend too much time thinking about it, worrying, wondering how it will go. It doesn’t matter if I’ve conducted a hundred meetings, each next one is a challenge. I’m naturally nervous. We…

  • 2020-04-05 Rolling Eyes and Shrugging 🙄 🤷‍♀️ 😢

    What is a girl to do. Yesterday I was all “everything’s going my way again”, you know and am I so fragile that just like that I’m down again? It’s Sunday and I’m alone and grumpy. I’ve just finished going through the thesis preface feedback returned from my mentor a few days ago, for the…

    2020-04-04 Much Needed Relief

    Somehow yesterday, even as I was lamenting the shit show my week had been, I knew that relief was on the way. I’m not sure if I had this notion because I knew it was Friday AND my period just had to start or if it was just that after several days of rotten strung…

  • 2020-03-31 Crisis, Evolution, Kaczynski, and Poetry.. Oh My!

    If you’re into drama and the sob-story of a broken cookie, I’m all about that today. If you’re here for the poetry, skip to the end… Yesterday I was hoping to send my thesis preface and manuscript revisions off early in the day. You know, release myself from the hold it had on me. But…
