Right now, and I mean this very second, I should be snuggled up beside my husband as we wing our way to Atlanta and then onto Barcelona. Instead, I am home alone, and he is alone, winging his way to... Continue reading

The Abortion of Bodily Autonomy (and so much more)
Image
"I am so mad." That was my husband as I got into bed last night. We had each seen the leaked Supreme Court document earlier. "Try being a woman." I snapped back. "Every fucking breath I take is legislated by... Continue reading

The Unfriendly Skies

It may have been done in a metal tube at 30,000 feet, but it was the announcement heard round the world. Yesterday, in a ruling by 35 year old Trump appointed federal judge, Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, the federal mask mandate... Continue reading

That title above, those words, met my ears only one minute ago while watching another episode of Call The Midwife on Netflix. And in those seven words, I found my way here to type what has been tangled in my brain for a while now. There is so much not... Continue reading

Trapped In The Inhale

For some time now I have been tossing, turning, struggling, a little lost, a lot lost. Life, family, ups, downs, worries, joys, all of it. Like so many of you also experience, one day still bleeds into the next with... Continue reading

The Pursuit of Slappyness

I have never been an Oscars aficionado. It's never been a clear-my-schedule, must-see-TV night for me. I follow along on Twitter as awards are handed out and spend some time the following morning perusing the red carpet pics to see... Continue reading

Brats R Us
Image
We are, without a doubt, the most petulant of societies. If countries were ranked by the maturity levels of their populaces, we would place at the level of toddler-denied-a-handful-of-Goldfish-so-shits-its-pants-during-tantrum.

Tick Tock, M Effers
Image
It started very early Monday morning. Slightly awake in the dark, my throat felt odd when I swallowed. The room was warm, so I just wrote it off to that, that my throat was dry. I drank some water and... Continue reading

This #$@% Impossible Year...

Exactly one year ago, almost to the minute, I sat here listening to the most apt musical descriptor of 2020: This Impossible Year by Panic! At The Disco. As I typed, the lyrics washed over me, bringing the struggles of... Continue reading

Playing Pandemic Chicken

The past few years have given me a front row seat to watch dear friends, and then my sister, fight for their lives against breast cancer. And it is a fight. From the moment they were each diagnosed, they engaged... Continue reading

Endings and Beginnings
Image
"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." Most would attribute that line to the late 90s song by Semisonic - Closing Time. In truth, they borrowed it from the Roman philosopher, Seneca. Regardless of its provenance, today it... Continue reading

One Breath, One Heartbeat Away

This Time It's Personal

For 20 months now I have kept a running count of the COVID stats. For 20 months I have tried to inform, share the FACTS, dispel the BS. For 20 months I have railed against the willful ignorance and blinding... Continue reading

I'm sad. While I had planned on writing today, a kick off for our 13th year of Yes, Virginia efforts, a call with my mother has clouded my merriest of thoughts and jolliest of intentions. I have written about my... Continue reading
