  • 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…

    2020-03-30 Balance and Flow

    When you put in the work, sometimes it sucks. But man oh man does it feel good when you’re close to the finish line. That’s how I’m finally feeling today after putting myself in a box for the last three days. Not only did I need to crank out some pages for my MFA thesis…

    It’s Sunday again and I really need to get some steps to boost my stats and get my heart going. Plus, I’ve got a lot to say today so this could get long. Imma start with school. Yesterday I had a two hour phone conversation with my assigned mentor for the semester and though it…

    2020-03-20 Best Laid Plans 🤷‍♀️

    Today I’m going to try… really try to get through the last third of my manuscript and revise those pages based on feedback from my mentor. I have a call with him tomorrow. *** I literally wrote that opening sentence 7 hours ago. I was called away by other duties as assigned and now it’s…

    2020-02-29 Cheers to Leap-Day and the Double-Dot ..

    Today feels like a bonus day. Yesterday I wrote about some goals I have. Those are more general in nature and anyone who knows me knows that I also like to have little weekly and mid-tier monthly goals too. I have a white board that lives behind the door of my office that has a…

    2020-02-28 Goals and Accountability

    I kinda want to get my goals down on paper, as if that has some psychological influence of accountability. It feels like everyday is a struggle to get going and I think that comes from not having hard and fast responsibilities and deadlines. I wonder what will happen when my kids grow up and move…
