This year I had to just stop. Some of it has been my job, and since the crazy hasn't stopped yet, but I'm in a bit of a breathing-lull I'm going to at least explain why I dropped off the face of the earth. Or at least my blog. I can't promise I'm going to… Continue reading Reboot (Again) →

Oh this is a tough one!! So, if you don't know (haven't heard). "The National Association of Realtors settled a lawsuit last week that could up-end the way real estate agents are paid, doing away with the traditional agent's commission of 5-6%. " (NPR Article). I. Don't. Know. I think this is a lot more complicated… Continue reading MLS Suit →

It has been a seriously rough week. Tuesday was a "first world" dumpster fire. Seriously, I feeling like I'm not even treading water today. I have been working on a final summer SCOTUS post, I wanted it up today but it isn't happening.

Wow. This weekend was.... wow. History in the making. I missed much of it. Something about chasing a toddler around made watching the news.... impossible. So I looked at my news on Monday morning and I was floored. Flabbergasted. Appalled. Grieved. Maybe a little afraid? But not a direct fear per say. In other words,… Continue reading Politics: The Fall of Kabul →

Genkii keeps me company while I work from home. Sorry I'm not posting more. Right now I am prioritizing my family's physical and mental health. My mental health is DEFINITELY part of the hurdle to blogging. Some days it's all I can do to keep up with the toddler and eat.

Now that the primaries are about to kick off, I am going to take some time to discuss my top 5 Democratic candidates. I am going to begin by explaining my "ranking" here: I don't have one. I like these candidates best. I will vote for anyone with a pulse who is not Trump. I… Continue reading Politics: Democratic Candidates →

I always had great sympathy for pet owners who had fur-babies who didn't like fireworks. Animals don't understand the noise, it just sounds dangerous. Intellectually, I felt sorry for parents of small children. But as I hold my exhausted baby and he whines and cries trying to sleep and waking up with a startle reflex… Continue reading Memories: New Year’s Eve Fireworks →
