    2021-03-02 In Like a Lamb?!… 🐑🔜🦁

    March.. I think the saying is supposed to be “In like a lion and out like a lamb.”  *** According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the weather folklore stems from ancestral beliefs in balance, meaning if the weather at the start of the month was bad (like a roaring lion), the month should end with good…

    2021-02-05 This One Time at Band Camp…

    JK.. I never went to band camp.  I did go to cheer camp like 4 times though. Sadly there are zero juicy stories from that. All I have to show for my four years of cheerleading in high school are a bunch of pictures of all my bad hair days, nightmares about perpetually being excluded…

    2021-01-22 Good News in My Inbox is Bad News for the Litter Box

    It was a short night for me but the sleep I had was good. Yesterday ended ok and I felt ok about what I was able to accomplish. No surprise though that some unfinished business is stacking up. I’m really going to have to bust my booty today to get it all done.  Not that…

    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…

    2020-12-24 A Perfect 4

    I haven’t put on a dress in a while, but I’m pretty sure size 4 is still what would fit best. On a scale from 0-10, pretty sure my poetry is a 4 too. At least based on all these rejections. Another one popped into my in-box this morning. Like hello… merry fucking Christmas to…

    2020-12-20 Stand in the Mirror and Wait for Feedback

    Sunday again. Lacking sleep again. Still working on that lecture. On and on.  I’m trying not to freak out. You know, but there’s so much to do. Res. GLR. Christmas. Bills. You know I’ve got bills that are like 60 days past due and I can’t even begin.  I don’t know what’s wrong with me.…

    2020-12-19 Christmas is Slithering Near

    See what I did there?  Oh last night I just got seriously smashed. I mean, it doesn’t take much these days. A half a bottle of my favorite red wine, Jam Jar, which is sweet and goes to my head almost immediately. But its sweetness also probably contributes to the midnight wake up with a…
