On and on forever…

Sara

Listen. We’ve been over this. It’s pretty much a requirement as a native Minnesotan to incessantly talk about the weather. It snowed again yesterday. There’s supposed to be more snow this weekend. No leaks yet, but half the people who have reported them are in our specific building of six units, forging the theory that it’s not mere coincidence, but a product of being the last building constructed by a company on the verge of… Keep reading…On and on forever…

Far from over…

Sara

We went from a Polar Vortex with “historic” wind chills to the snowiest February on record. It’s like after a few weirdly mild winters Minnesota is all ZOMG I REMEMBER HOW TO WINTER GUYS LET ME SHOW YOU IN CASE YOU FORGOT TOO. And everybody is just Slow your roll, FFS. Remember the blizzards you dumped in April last year? We’ve still got two months here for snow to fall. We’re running out of room… Keep reading…Far from over…

We got new insurance as of the first of the… Keep reading…Are we faking this…

Especially when the writing is slow going. Even when… Keep reading…Lost in a tricky maze…

I tear so easily…

Sara

Building a story soundtrack at two-something in the morning because sleep is for the weak. Every time I sit down to write here, my brain turns to mush, and I seem to get Vyvanse levels of incoherency happening up in this place. That’s probably a sign I should just step away from the internet, but…nah. There are days I think, I am thirty-six years old and wonder, how the hell am I that old and… Keep reading…I tear so easily…
