2024-08-16 A Fresh Take on Over Half Over

August is officially over half over. The year is over half over. My life is over half over. Oh no?! Another melancholy post about existential dread and crooning over what the purpose of life is and what it all means??!! No. Nope. Not today. A few weeks ago (or maybe it was just last week)…

2024-07-19 Look How Far We’Ve Come…

I’ve got a lot of updates to share but that’s not what’s really on my mind. You know, the things that are going Ok like my daughter being 8000 miles away and my son enjoying life, save for maybe those shifts flipping burgers, or even my own stuff. It’s all going good and I’ve cycled…

2023-12-17 This One IS About Sandwiches 🥪

The word of the month is “sandwich” and every variation of the word — sandwiches, sandwiched, sand witch, and sandwicher. Why? Because I said so. Ok. So it doesn’t have to be every person’s word of the month but if I have to “observe” something as dumb as Valentine’s Day, then I for sure can…

2022-01-28 Giving Birth is Hard Work, Especially When You’re Distracted

I’m pushing hard to get that next “baby” of an issue for my lit mag out into the wide world. This one has a big head. It’s what’s on my mind and I keep getting distracted by the rest of life. My husband is off work today which started at 6:30 am with a work…

2022-01-21 What’s Done is Done

Two days ago I was writing about my uncle in the hospital and today my dad had to make the tough decision to pull the intubation tube out of him, presumably the only thing keeping him alive. His body just could not take all the trauma of surgery and apparently he’s suffered many tiny strokes…
