  • 2019-05-12 Chicago and The Road Home

    Our stay here was brief and as uneventful as it could be given the circumstances. My “mystery” sickness is better this morning and I forced down a bowl of oatmeal to prove it. If I had to guess what the hell happened yesterday I would say that it was a mix of a bad migraine…

  • 2019-05-09 PMS and Bad Poetry

    About a week ago I was freaking out because my Fitbit was reporting that my period was like 5 days late. Crazy thoughts go through one’s mind in times like that. I found myself thinking about what it would be like to start over. Another bundle of joy, diapers, Halloween costume creations, and 18 more…

  • 2019-03-28 Life Is Long

    With each step I take on this new path of life that I have found myself on, I find that I’m becoming more and more convinced that I’ve made the right choices. The path I’m talking about is one where I’m making my creative pursuits and passions in life a priority and letting my “career”…

  • 2019-03-13 Leaps of Faith

    Yesterday turned out to be a good day despite all of the anxiety that I am feeling around things going on with work and with my house. After I wrote out what I was feeling about the upcoming conversation I’m going to have with my boss (or bosses ) about my involvement in various projects…

  • 2019-03-03 Just Swipe Right

    Exactly one year ago today I woke up like it was any other Saturday. I quietly stretched the sleep away and snuck out of the house without disturbing my teenagers still asleep in their beds. I went to the gym and did that thing I do by starting my workout session in the sauna. Then…

  • 2019-02-23 Snowstorm Saturday ❄️❄️❄️

    We are on the verge of yet another storm. Is that noteworthy? Is it newsworthy? All by itself the answer is no. So we are all going to be socked in again with inches of white fluff falling from the sky mixed with rain and ice and temps hovering right at freeing until the sun…

  • 2019-02-15 V-Day Wrap Up and Other Random Thoughts

    My mind is full of random thoughts today and I’m not sure where to start or what’s worthy of words. Yesterday I was all about thinking about the languages of love and I find it ironic that words are so important to me but the category of “words of affirmation” scores so low with me.…

  • 2019-02-14 Proving that I am Not a Hypocrite, The Valentines Edition

    It does not take much to scroll back through my historic posts to find what my true feelings about Valentines day are. I seem to feel the need to “rant” about it rather than celebrate and so my goal this year is to not repeat grumblings and stating my case for hating this holiday, maintain…
