    2021-08-18 Mood Math

    It’s been another week. Another 7 days since I’ve put two sentences together on a page, virtual or otherwise. Maybe this is the new me, the new Miss SugarCookie who posts once a week instead of once a day. If I was doing that, I’d want to make sure each week is one heck of…

    2021-07-09 All’s Well that Ends Well

    I’ve got just a little time today, and at the very least wanted to document for posterity that the day yesterday turned out ok despite the conflicted emotions over cancelled plans and personal insecurities. I went to CB and had a nice time with my friends (after my obligatory weekly visit with my dad, who…

    2021-07-08 Teeter Totter Thursday

    The holiday has come and gone and I’m back to checking my to-do list. I know I’ve put too much on it and will not be able to get it all done. I’m teetering. I’m not sure if I need to pull back from life a little more or if my answer is to dive…

    2021-07-02 Wait a Day and the Forecast Will Change

    In case anyone is playing along, I did not let the snafu with my ex go. I sent a follow up text pointing out that he literally contradicted his own “advice” to our son by ignoring my text message. And of course I couldn’t help but throw in that I don’t agree with him and…

    2021-07-01 The One To My Ex About Actions and Consequences

    To admit you feel as though you want revenge is to admit to being human. That’s my excuse. I’m human and therefore flawed in all the miraculous ways human beings are. It’s a miracle that we are here at all— stranded on this spiral arm of stars.  I’m flawed for feeling as though I’m enjoying…

    2021-06-28 Loneliness

    Today’s poem of the day from the Paris Review is about loneliness. Today’s heartache is not knowing how to help my daughter navigate her loneliness.  It’s a staunch truth that though we may be surrounded by people—home, work, school— we can still be suffering from loneliness. A longing to be with our person or persons.…

    2021-06-05 Cliches About Time are Cliche Because of Their Truth

    The push and pull of all these days blurs into a gravity that begs to be let go of. Time is relative. Emotions are relative. Thoughts are relative. The next thing can only be measured against the last and the moment in time that lingers longer than it should, repeating itself in the mind, becomes…

    2021-05-27 The Elephant in my Heart

    After a time.. feel as though my hiding from the world at large is exhausting. Maybe I’m just exhausted from lack of sleep. No matter how productive I am, it’s not productive enough.  Still..  was looking forward to today when I woke up. Despite the dishes piling up, clumps in the litter box piling up,…
