I wrote this post about a month ago but never got around to editing and finalizing it within a timely fashion of the world's latest crisis. It has sat in my drafts folder ever since. I've been contemplating waiting for the next crisis to reveal itself before posting this but then thought fuck that. For…
Social Media
Abandoning Wagons
Confession: I reactivated my Facebook account. I know. I know I know I know I know I know. I know. How did such a thing occur? Well. I hopped back on Facebook around the time the seasons were transforming from frigid temperatures to blooming trees. It all started with insomnia and lots and lots of…
Getting There
This week's re-run includes an old school family pic circa 2019, B.C. (before Corona) because why not? We are even more "there" than we were when I wrote this in November 2019 and here are a few updates: Since then my youngest child is now six years old, all of said children are in school…
Social Deadly Sins
Sometimes its hard to blog about my opinion and my experiences without sounding like I'm on a "holier than thou" rampage. But I guess that's the internet in a nut shell so, what the hell. Mental health and social media. I feel like those two go together like oil and water which is to say…

Milo Mon-Deactivation
Today's post is gonna be short and sweet because, well, I don't have much time to write. Nope let me rephrase that. I had time but I chose instead to binge watch old favorites on Netflix (ahem The Good Place) and veg out for an extended period of time. I regret nothing. I did, however,…
Don’t Post It
I’m doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don’t have enough posts yet to keep ’em coming so we are gonna share some words I’ve written for other sites and give them a permanent home on this site. This post actually compliments one I am currently working on tentatively…
Typos and Updates
Fitting Rooms
One thing I thoroughly enjoy about writing is the thought processing. It is a way for me to organize my brain and often times gets me to the core of what I am thinking or feeling. Ironically, that exact same fact gives me pause when I write. Also, fun fact: I have no idea how…
