One of the ways I honor my mental health is by resting. I mean could I say that I am a rest advocate again for the cheap seats in the back? Anyway. This week we are taking an actual spring break in an actual different state so I’m going to put this blog on vacation…

It's Mental Health Monday and here's where I am today. Brain, tired. Words, hard. Not falling asleep where I stand, challenging. Decision making skills, gone. Flexibility and adaptability, minimal. Quick back story: My #1 had an unexpected appendicitis this past weekend. Now, is appendicitis ever expected? Probably not but my ability to configure adjectives here…
*Trigger Warning: This post does present some thoughts that may be triggering for some. I can't say for sure how someone might be triggered by this blog but I suspect it would bring out defensive instincts in those who have been led to believe that they are either with us or against us and there…

This week’s re-run marks when I began testing the waters of being myself online and on this blog. I was curious how it would be received and if I'd lose readers. But ultimately I have decided that I am sarcastic, at times inappropriate, and enjoy profanity. Why not curate a space where we can all…

You know how sometimes things run their course? Like you’ve taken them as far as they can go and continuing the charade would just be redundant and oh I don’t know, embarrassing and annoying to everyone involved? Like hearing about it for the zillionth time would prompt the following Simon Cowell reaction? Well that’s how…

This week's re-run (a post from August of 2017) is evidence that I have battled with social media for yeeeeeears and also that I have promoted social media sabbaticals for an equal length of time. So, without further ado… I mostly love being connected on social media. Sure, it has its flaws, but everything does.…
