When we first moved out to a more rural area, driving into town wasn’t such a big deal. It felt good to be in familiar places and shop at my usual stores. Well, gas prices went up and making the trip felt more and more laborious. I got more comfortable going to the local stores.Continue reading “If Only I Would Shop Online”

Weird Dreams
I had this dream the other night. I was at a house warming party for a friend’s new apartment. Very low key affair, but the place was large and beautiful. The strangest part here is that I was enjoying the social gathering. I then decided I wanted to check out my soon-to-be new apartment onContinue reading “Weird Dreams”
High School Reunion
Scrolling through Facebook I came across a post from my high school class page. The plans for our 20 year reunion are in the works. I sent along my email address for more details as they are made. I’m surprisingly shocked. I went to a large school where most kids had known each other sinceContinue reading “High School Reunion”
I’m in so much pain right now. This tooth has been a problem for way too long. It’s coming out in about a week. But seriously, this sucks. I’m terrible with tooth pain. I’ve had some really traumatic experiences with dentists and orthodontists. I’ve been a mouth breather for most of my life due toContinue reading
Dusting Off That Old Story
At long last I’m finally trying to write this novel that’s been rattling around in my brain since high school. I turned it into a short story for a creative writing class, and have carried that version from place to place ever since. I stumbled across it a few months ago and now it’s almostContinue reading “Dusting Off That Old Story”
It’s Not Just Making a Phone Call
On the surface it sounds simple enough. Just pick up the phone and do it. But it’s so much more complicated than that. First, I need a script. I have a tendency to freeze when I panic, or forget everything as soon as the other person says “hello”. So I will practice what I needContinue reading “It’s Not Just Making a Phone Call”
I’m Doing It
It’s that time of year again. I’m getting myself organized and trying to check things off my ‘to do’ list that have been mounting the anxiety attacks as they sat unattended. First, make a list. It may sound silly, but actually making the list has been more than I can bear. So I decided toContinue reading “I’m Doing It”
Sporadic
I know my posts are really inconsistent. Every time life gets really hard I tend to bow out of anything that isn’t necessary. I conserve my energy. I spend my days off hibernating to make it through my busy days. My husband has found work. We’re pretty happy about that. It was down to aContinue reading “Sporadic”
“What would you do with a free afternoon?”
“What would you do with a free afternoon?” We wax philosophically with each other. “Read a book.” “Take a bath, or maybe a nap.” “I could get that corner cleaned up. It’s been nagging at me for a while.” “I would watch what I want, without worry of interruption.” “I could solve the world’s problemsContinue reading ““What would you do with a free afternoon?””
Thoughts On Gender
This is my lap at the moment. Something that usually brings me a calming joy. It’s been rough lately. I’ve finished some knitting side quests and am trying to focus on my daughter’s sweater now. I was reading a comforting murder mystery, but my mood has shifted with the world’s turmoil and I’m back toContinue reading “Thoughts On Gender”
