    2021-12-11 Hunting for Gratitude

    That’s it. I’ve officially lost my mojo. I’ve attended three generative writing events this week and have failed in a big way to write anything (new). Everything is a rehash of something I’ve already written or just plain garbage nonsense. And I think I’m just going to give up trying and see what that life…

    2021-11-25 Happy Turkey Day Y’all!! 🧡🍗🥓🥧🥔🥐🥦🌽🧡

    Yes.. it’s THAT day again and I’m feeling pretty good. Let’s agree to set aside the sketchy origin of this holiday and instead focus on gratitude, spending quality time with people (hopefully), and…. FOOD!!  One meager year ago we were in isolation. No meetups or visits with friends and family and for sure no big…

    2021-09-29 An Epic Rant from a Terrible Daughter…

    You know that saying?.. How does it go?..  “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”  It’s something like that.  Well… fuck that saying. There is absolutely nothing good I have to say about this situation with my mother but I’m done being the good daughter. At least here in…

    2021-09-25 Happy FIVE-OHHH Bro! 🎉🚀🌕

    Today I’m walking to try and rid myself of a headache that was probably induced by too much to drink at dinner last night. Some cocktail with a clever name I can’t recall. I suppose if it was really clever I’d remember it. 🤷‍♀️ After two of those I switched to amaretto sours which have…

    2021-09-24 Over it.. Already

    It’s day 5 of going to the hospital and I’m already over it. I hate that it feels obligatory and routine. I hate that it seems to cut my day in half. I don’t use the word hate a lot but in this case it fits. What’s a girl to do?  To balance things out…

    2021-09-18 Just Another Typical Saturday with a Side of Health Updates

    Today is Saturday and I’m walking on the treadmill while things are still peaceful here in the castle. It’s going to be a busy day.  I’ve got a poetry workshop I’m looking forward to attending that starts at 10am and after that my son is having a group of friends over to the house for…

    2021-09-14 The One About (Not) Dealing With Inequitable Partnerships

    I’m really very tired of writing about the same things over and over and really wish I could get out of the funk that is, for all intents and purposes, self-inflicted.  I’m also not sure what direction this particular piece of writing will go given the Rolodex of thoughts infesting my tired mind.  In exactly…

    2021-09-02 New Month, Same Ole Miss SugarCookie 🍑

    We’ve officially turned over the month are on the fast track to pumpkin spice latte season and sweater weather.  I’m doing pretty good this week and trying to stay focused on my to-do list while balancing managing the household and nurturing my interpersonal relationships.  If I haven’t written about the resurgence of the lunch/happy hour…
