it's a convoluted mess
I write a lot of blog posts in my head. Mostly while I’m in bed, staring at the wall, not sleeping, debating if I should just relent and get up, or force myself to stay put in the hopes I’ll get tired enough to fall asleep. It’s fun times. The downside to writing posts in my head…when I finally open up a blank draft, I pretty much lose everything I wanted to say. That’s not… Keep reading…Been there for awhile…
February and March are a weird time for me. A lot of people have trouble with this time of year, grappling for relief after a dark, miserable winter. For me it’s because of two defining moments in my life. February marked eight years since I got fired from the Toxic Shit Hole. March marks nine years since that first doctor appointment when I sobbed in an exam room in front of a doctor I’d just… Keep reading…Not the same…

We got new insurance as of the first of the… Keep reading…Are we faking this…
When I was a kid, I thought didn’t like chili. I can’t pinpoint why exactly, but I remember I never wanted to eat it when my mom made it for dinner. I’m always trying to figure out a solid go-to list of recipes to make for dinner and many times Bob and I circled back to chili. When looking at the general ingredients, there’s not really anything in there that we don’t like. Why not… Keep reading…No frills Chili…
…wearing too much makeup the burden that you carry is more than one soul could ever bear… I should probably have more Jayhawks music in my collection than I do. Save it For a Rainy Day may or may not be on the Ben & Marina soundtrack for the sole reason that Marina is named in the song. And I may or may not have concocted a scene between the pair during a rain storm… Keep reading…Looking like a train wreck…
