So are the days of my life. It’s been a cyclic sort of existence lately. Lots of writing, lots of crocheting, lots of reading, lots of editing for clients. And being the time of year that it is—Stanley Cup season—lots of hockey. And mixed in with that, caring for a […]
It sounds so cliché, but sometimes it’s true. On Tuesday, the world lost a light. Amber lost her multiyear battle with esophageal cancer. And a battle it was. It was a back-and-forth between treatment and remission, treatment and remission, treatment, treatment, treatment. She and her family went through so much […]
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 […]
bah, humbug My cave troll existence has continued. I freakin’ love this time of year, but I haven’t been able to truly enjoy it. I love the decorations, the movies, the music, the baking, the holiday spirit. I love all of it. But this nonstop caucophony of crap (the headache […]

brains My brain specifically. It hates me. Not only has it plagued me with post-COVID fog for months, now it has decided to make me miserable with dagger-like pain. I’ve had an unceasing headache for nigh on two weeks now. It varies in intensity from time to time, but since […]
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 […]
1. How do you feel about gambling? As an overall feeling, it can be dangerous, the thrill and the excitement enticing. On a personal level, I don’t really feel any type of way. I’ve been to Reno and Vegas, been to the casinos. I’m that boring person that goes on […]
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 […]
