I would love to blog like I did in the old days… more than just memes. Back in a day, blogging was part of my almost-daily routine. I enjoyed it, enjoyed interacting with my blogging friends, few of who blog anymore. It was often a much-needed catharsis, but even when […]
and good riddance to 2024… Not even going to bother recapping the year, even though I missed blogging for its entirety. It was… a year. That’s really all there is to say. There were good moments, to be sure, but all in all, it was an utter disappointment. I had […]
the soliloquy The last couple of weeks has been all about 2024 prep. Getting my stuff together for my planner, starting to get it set up for the next year. I’m a DIY planner girl, loosely based on the bullet journaling method. Premade planners just don’t work for me, so […]
notes I’m nursing a headache from the depths of hell and have been for more than a week. None of my usual tricks are helping. Not even my tried-and-true method of dispensing Metallica, KoRn, and, Rammstein directly into my ears. Yes, that usually works like a charm. But not this […]
from rosé to red So the last twelve hours have been super fun. Last night, after a lovely bowl of phở from Ribs and Broth, I settled in to watch the latest episode of Drag Race Italia with a small purple wine glass of Snoop Dogg’s 19 Crimes Cali Rosé, who […]
tales… I’ve decided I want to live in an reno’d vintage Airstream. This isn’t a totally random thought, but one born of character research for the my next novel. I stumbled across a post by a woman who, with her husband, converted a second Airstream, this one a 31′ Airstream […]
thoughts My morning yoga/stretching sesh sounded like the soundtrack for a Rice Krispies ad today. I was popping in places I don’t think I should be. I always begin with a lot of lower back work, an area that is the source of much of my rather hellish, constant and […]
scattered thoughts After the debacle of the previous night’s sleep (see here), I’d hope to have an extended period of restfulness. I was only semi successful. Instead of every couple of minutes (literally), the hubby managed to keep the shenanigans to 45- to 60-minute intervals. Not great, but better. Either […]
thoughts I think it’s time to do a wardrobe overhaul. I work from home, so my usual daily uniform is yoga pants/leggings and a T-shirt. Most of which have been deconstructed a bit, since I have a thing about things against my throat. The reason why is a story for […]
My tattoo has now entered the flaky, itchy stage. Fortunately, that stage generally only lasts for a matter of hours for me, judging by my 11 previous forays into ink. So for today, I’ll look like I’m suffering from some oddly shaped, oddly colored skin disease. Worth it. But, man, […]
