    2020-02-26 Chickens and Squirrels and Pies, Oh My 🐓🐿 🥧

    I might start by mentioning that I did land on a few goals for the year but that news is so two days ago. I could go on a long tangent about the rabbit hole that I found myself in with domain management, web hosting, and WordPress theme customization. But that’s just yesterday’s news. Then…

  • 2020-02-19 Back to Basics with an Unexpected Twist

    Dear Diary… How I have missed you so! It’s been several moons since we had any quality time together and I’m starting to feel anxious and nervous about our relationship. My biggest fear is that in my absence, you have started reading other people. Please say it isn’t so!.. /gasp /swoon But seriously, since I…

    2020-01-14 A Fast Moving Train

    Full speed ahead. 18 days to go and last night before falling asleep I touched my forehead to his forehead in bed and asked for him to help me with my anxiety. He promised me it would be alright and that when it comes to it, he’ll talk me away from the edge. That’s all…

    2020-01-04 MFA Day 7 – It Will Find It’s Way Out

    2020-01-02 MFA Day 6 – Telegraph for Today

    Worst sleep ever. Stop Literally. Stop My own fault. Stop Complete sentences. Gone. Stop Too much. Stop Send help. Please. Stop Yesterday was a long day and I would recap but I just don’t have it in me right now. I would provide a sneak peek of today, but it’s kinda the same thing. So…

    2020-01-02 MFA Day 5 – Balls

    The lead in to of the lectures I attended yesterday lobbied that we should have 10 balls in the air at the all time. That if we did, it would be a bit of chaos but that it would increase our chances that some thing, even just one, would land and turn out golden. She…
