    2020-07-31 Adios July.. Don’t Let the Door Git Ya!

    Remember all that I was saying yesterday about riding out the hormonal storm until the crashing waves calm down? Yeah, just effff that. It really is easy to talk logic than to put it into practice sometimes. Listen. Yesterday was a bitch. Work sucked. And at the end of the day I was on the…

    2020-07-30 Thursday Status Update

    According to my FitBit I’m supposed to be getting my period today. I mean, it’s not 8am, but it hasn’t happened yet. I put myself in a holding pattern waiting for that sweet release, which is typically followed by a leveling of my emotions— the amplitude of the wave hovers closer to the resting point.…

    2020-07-19 Wrestling with Impermanence

    I’ve been putting some serious thought into quitting my job. I’m checking the calendar to make sure the current stirring isn’t coming from an emotional place. Or, if it is, it’s persistent and genuine. And I’m also holding steady where I’m at to see if, like many ideas, isn’t because of just where I stand…

    2020-05-23 Laundry Day 🐱

    Yesterday was the worst day I’ve had in a long time. I was on such an emotional edge almost all day and barely made it through all the things I had to do. I participated in an early meeting with a client in which my only responsibility was to take notes and have my brain…

    2020-05-11 No Rest For the Wicked

    I worked all weekend. I didn’t have a weekend. It’s Monday and I’m exhausted. And there’s miles to go and I don’t even have time to say what I want to say or write what I want to write or have the quality time I so desperately need. A person can do this for a…

    2020-03-30 Balance and Flow

    When you put in the work, sometimes it sucks. But man oh man does it feel good when you’re close to the finish line. That’s how I’m finally feeling today after putting myself in a box for the last three days. Not only did I need to crank out some pages for my MFA thesis…

  • 2018-12-15 The One About Old Dogs and New Tricks

    Ok.. I’ve really tried the last couple weeks to keep the ranting to a minimum, but if something is bothering me, I just have to get it out. Perhaps the answer is just to write about it and then throw it away, but somehow that’s not as cathartic. As the title of this post might…

  • 2018-11-05 The Missing Cat Was a Lie

    Yesterday I experienced high anxiety which I attributed to multiple factors including the fact that my cat was missing. She always paces by the back door to be let out and even stretches up and puts her paw on the door handle and pulls down. Most of my doors don’t have round knobs, They have…
