SOMETIMES, you order your refill meds on time. But they don’t arrive in time. And SOMETIMES instead of panicking or blaming yourself/the pharmacy/mail, you seek a solution. And find one. Grateful for a holdover refill, grateful to have had the availability and bandwidth to solve the problem. And grateful I could drive there instead ofContinue reading “Emergency Refill”

No Time Turner Available
Good morning y’all. Lately I’ve felt the stress of wanting to be in two places at once. Pummeled by the reality that I CANNOT do all the things (because they’re often happening at the same time). The guilt that encompasses me is pretty illogical. Am I really gonna be mad about being subject to theContinue reading “No Time Turner Available”
Birthday Reflections
Even though, to quote Barbie, I’m not President. No one on the Supreme Court is me…
With all that said (and please don’t punch me), I have a pretty great life
Guardian Angels at the Park
As many of you know, my kiddo is quite the climber. QUITE the climber. “I’m a National Climber,” she’ll tell people, after overhearing me call her a natural climber. After all, she crawled up the stairs long before she walked, and then trees, playgrounds, any structure she came upon. And at eight, we’ve reached the point whereContinue reading “Guardian Angels at the Park”
From the Mouths of Babes, War Edition
I’ve been quiet. There’s been so much and I didn’t feel I had much to add, so I let the chaos swirl within me. Yet even when I don’t write, the world spins on and there are parent teacher conferences and lunches to pack and news to digest. Then last night we were driving toContinue reading “From the Mouths of Babes, War Edition”
Waiting for Barbie
I am looking forward to seeing the Barbie movie (I haven’t yet), and that is a sentence I never would have anticipated writing ever in my life. Like many Silver Millennials, my relationship with Barbie is complicated. I played with the dolls, my grandmother had a suitcase of Ginny dolls, and I remember standing inContinue reading “Waiting for Barbie”
“Are you OK?” (No. Yes. Mostly?)
The past couple weeks have been a LOT. There’s been loss and grief and shock and perspective shifts. There’ve been so many adjustments, life almost feels fluid (which is pretty beautiful), and now it’s the end of May. The phrase “Are you okay?” always throws me off. I feel defensive and defective and completely unableContinue reading ““Are you OK?” (No. Yes. Mostly?)”
Existential Crisis and Love (and Poetry)
Living in the End Times is rough. Societal collapse, with rising prices and stagnant wages and an unthinkable wealth gap, is exhausting. Mass shooting after mass shooting. Scandal on top of scandal. The floor keeps sinking in the race to the bottom and the climate crisis is here and the tipping point four years out.Continue reading “Existential Crisis and Love (and Poetry)”
Saturday Morning in the Cosmic Blob
These are the days I need to write and yet I don’t. Words and thoughts swirl around my mind so quickly I don’t even notice them, my fingers can’t keep up. Like florescent lights flickering too fast to be noticed except on a subliminal level, my thoughts storm my mind. I have nothing to say andContinue reading “Saturday Morning in the Cosmic Blob”
Good morning y’all
What I posted: “Hi. We made it to another day. Let’s celebrate with coffee.” how I actually look this morning: Trying to keep it real. And let me say this—I AM PROUD OF YOU. Here you are, getting through the stuff, whatever it be. If you resisted the urge to step on a scale, orContinue reading “Good morning y’all”
