I have mostly kept my hands off the keyboard on my blog on this issue. I've supported it since the beginning - but I am a white middle-class woman, I am not the voice people should be turning to on this issue. There are amazing black voices out there you should be turning to. Here… Continue reading Politics: Black Lives Matter

2021 Goals
So I guess I DO resolutions. At least when it comes to my own reading goals every year. Goodreads "reading challenge" always at least gets me thinking about it. This year I have three personal goals I want to tackle. The first is my reading goal which is to get through my to-be-read pile. I… Continue reading 2021 Goals
Life Events: Election 2020
By the time this post goes up it's "yesterday," I am writing this Wed night. My heart aches. I do not have WORDS for how much I grieve.
Life: Anxiety in 2020
I can finally give a concrete example of anxiety manifesting in 2020. For the past two days or so I am bothered. I am turning it over and over and over in my mind. I get upset and grumble and gripe about it to myself. I literally start arguing with myself over it. No, I… Continue reading Life: Anxiety in 2020
Life Events: Furniture Feelings
We sold our guest bed this weekend. I have feelings about it. It didn't start as our guest bed. It started as my bed. The first bed I even actually bought. When I graduated from college I took the old double-bed from my parents house which I had been using. It was ok, but after… Continue reading Life Events: Furniture Feelings
Life Memories: John Lewis

My professor made a comment about "Representative Lewis" and I blinked. It rocked me mentally to realize that someone still alive (and honestly not… Continue reading Life Memories: John Lewis
Burned Hand
I burned my hand this weekend. Just a moment of distraction while I was pulling dinner out of the oven and brushed the back of my right hand against the edge of the inside of the oven (not the heating elements, just the edge near the door). Photo taken Mon morning I yelped and rushed… Continue reading Burned Hand
Life Events: ER and COVID-19
Let me start with this: I am OK. Saturday morning I was ok. Got up, played with Remy. Did a bit of picking up to vacuum the living room. At 11 I took Remy upstairs to cuddle with daddy while I made a cup of tea and used my inhaler. I felt my asthma flaring… Continue reading Life Events: ER and COVID-19
Current Events: Coronovirus
I wasn't going to add to the noise around this, but then the other day someone posted "ok everyone, this isn't the bubonic plague." The historian came out. So many ways I wanted to respond: Yes, please don't kill cats. Rats are the ones most likely causing the spread of the plague.True. The bubonic plague… Continue reading Current Events: Coronovirus
Memories: Being a Mom
Winter always reminds me of when I knew I wanted to be a mom. I remember because it was winter when I realized this was important to me. It was 2004 and I was dating a guy pressuring me to have sex. I was asking myself a LOT of questions totally appropriate for a 20-year… Continue reading Memories: Being a Mom
