  • 2019-08-22 Word of the Day Weirdness

    About a month ago Jim started forwarding me these random “word of the day” emails. It’s just some website spreading daily content to a list of subscribers. I like words, and was like “way cool”. The email and site, if you click on it, has the word with the definition, pronunciation, origins, example usage, and…

    2019-08-21 Tick-Tock

    I’m checking the calendar again. How long has it been since my last cortisone shot? How many days until my next period? How many months until my wedding? How many days until my next assignment is due? And at the moment, the biggest elephant in the room.. how many days until next Monday, when I…

    2019-08-18 An Abundance of Fresh Water and Wild Wanderings

    “The poem is the lie we tell to reveal the truth.” It’s a comment/quote that came back on my packet .5 and I’m a little stuck on that, but not in a bad way. In a very satisfying, mind-winding way. This is the first semester in the program that a mentor has given me such…

    2019-08-13 “Everything Now”

    At residency Jackson introduced me to a band. It’s not a new band, they’ve been around, but they are new to me. That’s how my life goes. That’s how everyone’s life goes, you know. You don’t know something until you know it. That’s why we need people. Other people. To know things and show us…

    2019-08-12 Into it Now

    My focus is shifting. The days of my life have changed and they are very different now. Adjustments are always tough, even the good ones. You have to let go of pieces of you, some that you kinda like. You have to recognize that, even if you are going in the right direction, the road…

    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…

    2019-08-09 A Whole Lotta Starting Going On

    Getting a late start with my everything today. What I mean to say is, I’ve started a lot of things and had a lot of distractions and not made it to the end of anything. I was up again at 5am, working on a little writing project that’s proving to be more of a challenge…

    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…
