• Will Work For Fun

    The snowpocalypse is not supposed to be so snowy after all. Mostly a mix of freezing rain and sleet, which is actually worse. And for my part of the state, we may have some plain cold rain mixed in. So not as bad as other parts of the state and certainly not as bad as…

  • 2016

    “Something Good” Sunday There’s a trend on social media right now. People are posting pictures of themselves from 2016. I guess somehow 2026 was picked as the year that we compare ourselves to who we were 10 years ago. I’ll play along. This is a good thing for me to reflect on since it’s Sunday…

  • Why am I so tired?

    5Ws Wednesday It’s Wednesday, so I’m asking the hard hitting questions that start with a W. Today, why am I so tired? Hard hitting question, but easy answer. I’m tired because for the past week, my body has been doing diabolical things to my nervous system. Hormones and work stress have kept my body, not…

  • Maybe Not Yet

    Talk About it Tuesday There’s so much to talk about and that’s just from today alone. The shorthand version is: I found out some additional things at work related to me and my job. I was gobsmacked. Almost shaking on the inside. I wrote an email that called out the things that were making me…

  • A Brighter Day

    I feel better today. I had an appointment at 11:30 to get my forearm tattoo finished and as I was driving, I was reflecting on the day. Just today. I felt happy as I looked forward to being at home with Josh after my appointment. It was a short appointment, only about an hour and…

  • Lots of Unspoken Curse Words Today

    Let me allow this picture to tell you you everything you need to know about the day I’m having: It is currently 12:30 pm. I’m on my lunch break at home. Usually when my break is over at 1:00, I go back to work. Not today. The yoga pants and slippers mean that I’m not…

  • “Something Good” Sunday—It’s My Life Now

    I go back to work tomorrow. After a solid two weeks off. I think this is the case for many people. And, like many people, I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I’m going to have to start hard-core planning the summer program I supervise. Another one of the programs I supervise is going…

  • An Authentic Life

    I’m exhausted by this question. I have written, at great length, about my biggest challenges last year. Last year, being of course 2025 now. My challenges were few, but they were big and they revolved around putting the work in with therapy and healing my inner child so that she can morph into the tattooed…

  • Me, Of Course

    Share what you know about the year you were born. I could Google some facts about 1982. I’m thinking about movie that came out that year, that sort of thing. I think E.T. and Poltergeist are two that come to mind. I could be wrong though. All I really know for sure about that year…

  • Organization Nerd

    Today is the last work day for me until I go back on January 5th. As is the custom on the last day before a holiday, we will probably get to unofficially leave early today. I was thinking about what I’d like to do with my extra time at home this afternoon. There’s laundry to…
