Happy Sunday, all! How has it already been nearly a month since I've posted? Ugh. I've been doing well. I took the week of July 5th off. I was so burned out at work and really needed a break (plus, the 5th is my birthday!) We did a couple of hikes on the 4th and… Continue reading Forward Momentum

Checking In
Hi friends. It's been awhile, etc. I hope you all are doing well. The pandemic appears to be retreating in the US for the time being, so we've been having some much-needed normalcy the past couple of months. Being fully vaccinated by the end of April is a huge privilege that many of my friends… Continue reading Checking In
We Are Not Workshop Buddies
Tonight during my experimental fiction class, I heard the familiar sound of paws scratching at my office door. Apollo sometimes likes to spend my writing classes with me. I opened the door, happy that my dog wanted to spend time with his mama. Immediately after opening the door, Apollo lunged towards his water bowl. I… Continue reading We Are Not Workshop Buddies
A Little Bit of Sunshine
Happy weekend, friends! Wednesday was a wonderful day. I know there won't be overnight changes now that Biden is in office, but I've been feeling optimism about the pandemic (and life in general) for the first time in a very long time. If the pandemic is marathon, we're at mile 20. I know I'm relatively… Continue reading A Little Bit of Sunshine
Quick Update Post
Good morning all! I woke up earlier this morning but my time is disappearing quickly. I wanted to journal a bit and write for class, but I'd still like to do yoga at some point. SO SPEED UPDATE POST. Work is still tiring but I relaxed a lot this weekend. We took a beautiful walk… Continue reading Quick Update Post
It’s the Most Wonderful Time…of the Year (???)

I feel like the light is finally at the end of the tunnel with this pandemic. I follow several medical professionals/science communicators on Instagram for COVID info,… Continue reading It’s the Most Wonderful Time…of the Year (???)
An Update from the Grinch
Less than a month left in this terrible year and two weeks until Christmas. Two weeks?! I already want to fast-forward during the holidays when it's a normal year. I suppose the one benefit of staying at home most of the time is that I am not subjected to Christmas music while shopping. We haven't… Continue reading An Update from the Grinch
Halloween 2020
Happy belated Halloween! I hope you all had a cozy, spooky day. Thankfully the weather was warmer here than last Halloween, when we had snow flurries. We have been having sunshine after a week of cloudy, overcast gloom. Still, my spirits were a little down yesterday despite the sunshine, but a day of coziness lifted… Continue reading Halloween 2020
You Can’t See the Morning, but I Can See the Light
Hello friends. How is it nearly October? I feel like March and April were two years long, and as we settle in this weird routine, time is slipping through my fingers. That's a good thing. I am ready to pack this part of my life into a cardboard box, close it tightly with all the… Continue reading You Can’t See the Morning, but I Can See the Light
Labor Day Weekend
Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you all are well. I'm very excited, as (A) another August 31st has come and gone, and (B) I have the day off tomorrow! I have a Barnes and Noble trip planned for tomorrow that I'm excited about. I may even get dressed up in some ~~fall gear~~ The weather… Continue reading Labor Day Weekend
