I am learning a lot about myself this week. Lucy aptly named the fun facts “Tiffacts.” For example, I discovered that I like to narrate my actions to Sam in a sing song voice (I think he likes to be updated, especially in this manner). I also seem to dance during pretty much every household…

2020 September – Week 36
Hello Week Thirty-six. And goodbye to the life I’ve known for the past eleven years. This was the last week in which Brian and I lived together. It’s really quite… I don’t know. The feeling is indefinable. But perhaps that’s because at the time of writing this, he hasn’t actually left the final time yet….
2020 August – Week 35
The week before school starts is usually filled with a frantic excitement. I try to put everything in order so I can start the year fresh, putting my best foot forward. This year… Well. I still tried to get everything in order, but it was far more frantic than exciting. I spent some time at…
2020 August – Week 34
This week, I purged. I’m still in the process of purging, actually. It’s a glorious feeling, getting rid of things. Cleansing. Any other year, I would be excited to get everything organized before the start of the school year, so that I could feel mentally ready to go and energized by the idea of a…
2020 July – Week 31
Hello, Adventure. That’s what Week Thirty-one was about, and I’m ever so grateful. I needed the getaway. And I needed the time by myself (though some of my adventures were not solo). It was my last hurrah before shutting myself back in to my house and strictly avoiding contact with other humans. I had a…
2020 July – Week 30
Hello, Week Thirty. And hello to the friends and family I actually spent some time with this week. I wasn’t 100 percent COVIDly responsible — I admit that. I shouldn’t have been so lax with things because I know COVID is still a threat. And I know I need to remember I’m extra susceptible. And…
2020 July – Week 29
I lost all track of days during Week Twenty-Nine. Every day felt like a Wednesday — a middle of the week day. Everything is becoming a blur, so I’m grateful for this picture project helping me hold on to each day as its own. At least I have something somewhat tangible to look back on…
2020 July – Week 28
Week Twenty-Eight felt like regular summer vacation, not COVID-19 summer vacation. Perhaps it’s because people are being more careless with everything (myself included) even though the threat is still very real. And perhaps it’s because I did regular summer vacation things: I read and drank wine and swam and chatted with friends. Weird, right? I…
2020 July – Week 27
Week Twenty-Seven was a breath of fresh air. It was nice to get out of the house, and it was especially nice to get in the ocean. As with all of them, Week Twenty-Seven had its ups and downs, but it was the first week in a long time that I felt like I fully…
2020 June – Week 26
Week Twenty-Six was the first full week of summer vacation. But it felt a lot like the twelve weeks that proceeded it. While things are starting to open up again slowly and with lots of stipulations, there’s not much summer fun to be had. I’m not traveling out of the country like I have the…
