At the beginning of the first wave of the global pandemic, we remain currently ensconced in, I was doing some cleaning out of my closet. And I found, at that time, what I could probably have found at any time over the last 25 years. T-shirts. Lots and lots of t-shirts. Conference t-shirts, startup t-shirts, … Continue reading arts and crafts time…
Photo by Benjamin Suter I woke up slowly this morning. Peacefully. It was dark and gloomy outside but our sunrise alarm was shining its bright light on my side of the bed. It wasn't the first time I woke up today. I remember waking up briefly in the middle of the night to witness my … Continue reading I don’t want to…
It's the holiday season and as of today I believe I have completed all of my holiday shopping. Yes. All of it. I have gifts for everyone on my list. I have a tree. Okay, I have two trees. I have stocking stuffers that... well potentially in an excessive amount. I have more holiday candy … Continue reading consumer cami goes holiday shopping… but you know, online.

If … Continue reading consumer whore cami assuages her guilt…

But as we get older and our experience in the world starts to add up and make us, well us, it … Continue reading trying new things…
I'm not always good at writing about the good days. I tend to hate the internet trend of posting when everything is perfect and beautiful and you're a pretty pretty princess who is blessed with the grace of all things beautiful. I want people to share their joy. I just don't like it when that's … Continue reading the last day…
You know that scene in the movie in which some woman is chronicling her life. She's seated in front of the laptop staring at the blinking cursor on the blank screen and the voiceover starts. I've been sitting here for the past few minutes replaying that scene in my head. But it's me staring at … Continue reading 44 and wondering what even is time anymore…
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…
My neighbor's kids used to whisper that I was a shut-in. They used to think I was afraid to leave my house because as far as they could tell I was always home. Their dad taught them if there was ever an emergency and he wasn't home or they couldn't find him that they should … Continue reading changing the things I can…
