    2021-01-03 Final MFA Res Day ??!… 🤦🏼‍♀️

    It’s official… I’ve lost track of what “MFA” day it is, what day or the week, and also what year. But I’m not ready for the new year yet and that’s ok.  What? Did I just say that I was not ready for 2020 to end. Well, not exactly. I’m ready for 2020 to take…

    2021-01-02 Flip the Day… 🤸

    If you flip the script on this day.. this date… the palindrome enthusiasts find a different day just over 10 years ago. 2010-12-02.  Where was I early in December in the year 2010?  I know this was shortly after I met a person who would change the trajectory of my life. By that time I…

    2021-01-01 Hurry Up and Wait ⏰

    Or.. It’s About Time. Two days ago I started writing about something that dissolved into a rant about titles and hierarchy and how disgruntled I felt after not being recognized for my contribution in an effort I’ve worked on and care deeply about. I ran out of time while writing and was subsequently told to…

    2020-12-30 Final MFA Day 2: Gathering All the Internets

    I’ve gathered all the internet in the house that I could do as to try to get a good signal in a more isolated location. Maybe I should put the cable modem, WiFi router, and signal boosters in my car and drive away.  Never mind that. There’s a giant snow pile behind my car and…

    2020-12-29 Final MFA Day 2: Snowmageddon Anyone?

    It’s like 2020 is holding the mic, refusing to let go.. saying “I’m not done yet bitches!”  All the living under the rock life and blissful denial that I use to shield myself from what goes on in the world outside my door can’t protect me from the apparent snowmageddon that is now “pouring like…

    2020-12-28 Final MFA Res Day 1: Jump In

    Here’s where journaling almost every day comes in especially handy. Throughout my MFA I have documented my experiences including a day-by-day account of each of my residencies, both official and unofficial. This makes comparing the virtual experience an easy task. Being at home, though kind of a drag, has definite advantages.  Normally waking up on…

    2020-12-27 Final Countdown…

    There have been nights I’ve tossed and turned in my bed, unable to sleep for the thoughts in my head. Playing and re-playing a scene that was years, months, and weeks in the future. I may sound melodramatic but I’m sure as hell not exaggerating. I’ve been thinking about the lecture I have to give…

    2020-12-24 It’s Always the Eve of Tomorrow

    Christmas Eve today. On one hand it’s all just fine. I have everything I need here. My people, love, nourishment, warmth, opportunity, and am looking forward to tomorrow and the adventures we will find there.  On the other hand, it just doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel like Christmas or the cusp of another residency…
