2025-01-09 Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That

Bronchitis. It’s a bummer. I’ve been feeling unwell off and on for about a month. Each time I feel like I’m starting to feel better, I take another turn and get worse again. Yeah… really rotten. I’m still feeling pretty positive about life in general, but man, it would be even better if I could…

2024-06-17 T-Minus Three Days…

Three days. Just 3!! THREE DAYS till my daughter leaves for an internship in India and I’m absolutely freaking out. I feel confident she’s in good hands and good company but that in no way alleviates my worry and anxiety. I’ve known this has been coming for months, but denial has been on my side,…

2022-03-18 Sometimes the Wandering Leads to An Idea

Nothing has changed between yesterday and today yet here I am again, resisting the urge to start watching a new show; resisting the urge to go back to bed. I’m still thinking about the same things. About my on-again-off-again submission pushes (currently off), all my other goals, and, of course, questioning if I’m on the…

2022-02-05 SMA Road Trip Day 0: Ready, Set, Go!… 💃

Today my love and I are skipping out of this popsicle town. Our bags are packed. Our minds are right (mostly) and we have 7 hours to make it to our first stop, Saint Louis, for our 4:30 Arch tour. I had a shit night sleep mostly because I was up late with said packing…
