It's funny what you think about when faced with extended boredom and possible annihilation of the human race. Over the last 10 months I've spent a lot of time thinking about my jewelry choices. Ummm.. Yeah. I know that sounds kind of odd. But we've been, essentially, under house arrest for almost a year. The … Continue reading my end of the world earring situation is on point…

Content Creation: I can do that…
Yesterday I received an invitation to speak at an upcoming meetup. Which happens from time to time. That sounds very fancy doesn't it? I'm fancy like that. Or perhaps people are just looking to fill content and my willingness to talk into a computer from far away is suddenly super useful. For once. Or something. … Continue reading Content Creation: I can do that…
two blocks…
I had to run an errand. It was important. I was out of gin. That's one of the very few things that I still go get. Almost everything except liquor we have delivered. Yes, it's admittedly a privilege. A significant one. But given a huge pile of givens — including but not limited to the … Continue reading two blocks…
let’s play office…
I've been a remote worker for about a decade now. Even before I started working for the famously distributed Automattic, I worked from home. First picking up the odd gig as a copywriter, then as a girl Friday for a meal planning company and its lovable yet inherently lazy founder. So I'm no stranger to … Continue reading let’s play office…
you deserve a push up pop…
Remember when you were a kid and you had to do something that you didn't really want to do but you had no choice in the matter? You know, kind of like every single day of your adult life, but earlier. Back when it seemed to you that SOMEDAY you would be able to grow … Continue reading you deserve a push up pop…

Back in March of this year as the pandemic lockdown was sweeping the world and I had not one but two birthdays to celebrate in my home I started seriously contemplating the purchase of a Nintendo … Continue reading meditation via animal crossing…
happy father’s day to me…
I wrote something a long time ago. It was one part of a single sentence that I wrote here on my blog when I was in the midst of what turned out to be a pretty messy and unhappy divorce. Not that many divorces are happy. But mine was rough. I'm speaking for myself here. … Continue reading happy father’s day to me…
but let’s not put things in perspective…
A lot of folx don't know this about me, but I'm actually a ray of fucking sunshine. I'm, sometimes frustratingly so, a bright-sider. A silver lining kind of gal. I'm always searching for the good that comes from any situation. In order to cope with awful scenarios and truths about life, I've made a lifelong … Continue reading but let’s not put things in perspective…
the alarm…
Have you ever tried to work an unfamiliar alarm clock that sounds like a fire alarm, with no warning that it would go off, in the dark, without your glasses, at 6am (but 5am in your own timezone) having been awoken by said alarm in the middle of an anxiety dream? Welcome to my morning. … Continue reading the alarm…
You’re letting me do what?
Last night I when I went to bed I was tired. Very tired. I was looking forward to a night of healthy natural sleep. I had brushed my teeth, put up my hair, and put on this one song that's supposed to make you sleepier than any other music-scape ever created. As my head nestled … Continue reading You’re letting me do what?
