I jammed a lot into this week, so let’s get right to it. Sunday I attended a UCFC game with Liv and the Myatts, and was pleasantly surprised to see Issak out on the pitch! Monday Since Ryan occupied the guest room, when Taranne’s military plans changed at the last minute, I had a bed…

2021 November – Week 46
This was a messy week full of dark moments and light moments and numb moments and I-need-some-rum moments. Mostly this week, I just felt tired. Exhausted. Spent. Sunday But we gave the students a creative writing assignment, and some of the student responses warmed me up. Monday Dragged my butt to the garage to try…
2021 October – Week 43
Whirlwind of a week. I feel as thought that’s a running theme these days. I think that’s a good thing? Sunday Although I am looking forward to slowing down a bit and focusing on my writing. I bought a new NaNo mug to replace the one I broke, and I used it for the first…
2021 September – Week 38
The weeks feel very full this month. I don’t know that that’s a bad or good or something in between thing. It’s just a thing. Every day feels poured to the brim with tasks, interactions, events, responsibilities… Sunday Tried to slow down a little on Sunday after all the wedding festivities. Tragedy struck. I knocked…
2021 September – Week 37
Our first full week of school was rather long. It was by no means a bad week, but it felt like a lot of days. A lot of full days. I’m still adjusting to the schedule. Actually, it’s not so much the schedule I’m adjusting to, but the whole being on thing. Teachers have to…
2021 August – Week 33
The theme this week was relaxation. Sunday I was still in Vermont in the beginning of the week with Kath, taking walks, talking writing, and being carted around Rutland by her friend, Kathleen. I think my favorite part was when we were headed to Art in the Park and Kathleen started singing some old song…
2021 August – Week 32
I made a decision this week, and I feel okay about it. I’m a little bummed I’m not making New York City happen this year, but given everything, it just isn’t the right time. I know, I know, the timing is never exactly right, but I want to set myself up for success, and I…
2020 December – Week 50
Holy shit, it’s Week 50. I can’t believe I’ve been at this for almost an entire year… An entire, shitty year — entirely shitty. An entire entirely shitty year. Alas, I’m spent. Can you tell? Sunday I’m early with the Christmas cards this year. Or… holiday cards, since they’re more about connection during this season…
2020 September – Week 39
Week thirty-nine was slightly better than the previous week, but that’s mostly because I didn’t pay attention to the news. I just can’t even. Sunday Perhaps the hardest part of splitting with Brian has been splitting up our cat family. Sam is with me; Willow is with him. We know it’s best this way, but…
2020 September – Week 38
Why is 2020 so hell-bent on destroying us? This was one of the shittier weeks, and that’s really saying something. It lasted TWENTY-ONE DAYS! Every teaching task takes forever because it isn’t one task, it’s ten. And I’m not sure any of it is truly meaningful in the way I’d like it to be. Every…
