We’ve arrived. I’m not one hundred percent sure how we got here, but we’re here… While my brother was in town, we had a conversation about all manner of things— life, choices, the state of the world… Steven is very much like my dad in that he’s far more inherently pessimistic than my mom and…

2021 December – Week 51
We’re getting down to it, folks. One more week, and it’s not even a full one. I shouldn’t be surprised that we’re at the end of the year, but I am. Our calendar is always ticking forward, so it’s not surprising that December 19th comes after the 18th, or that Week 51 precedes Week 52,…
2021 December – Week 49
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 October – Week 42
I’m a woman of few words again this week. Life is BUSY. Sunday But I spotted Mormon Row in the background graphics of Jon Stewart’s new show. Monday And got greeted enthusiastically several times by my neighbor’s cat. Tuesday I also think the students had fun with some of the lessons this week, which is…
2021 September – Week 39
I thought I was ready for the week. Sunday It started off so lovely. I caught a sunrise scene at Taughannock Falls and spent the rest of the day readying myself for the week. Laundry: check. Groceries: check. Meal prep: check. Emails: check. I was really on a roll Sunday… Monday And as far as…
2021 September – Week 36
It’s here. Let’s do this. Sunday Finally finished (I think?) the signs for Nick and Ashley’s wedding over the long weekend. Monday Can I just say? Loved getting my feet wet with the Superintendent’s Conference Days as soon as the calendar ticked over to 9/1 and then having the long weekend to fully prepare for…
2021 August – Week 31
Sometimes I spiral into obsessive thoughts and can’t make a fucking decision. That was basically the entirety of this week. The moments captured below were the few instances I tried to zen out or be present. Grateful. Calm… Sadly— get this— it was remembering that I had to take a picture every day in order…
2021 April – Week 16
I got the second COVID vaccine. She was a dirty bitch. Saturday night, about twelve hours after I’d gotten the shot, she slapped me hard. If you’ve ever sprained an ankle, perhaps you’re familiar with the feeling of being swollen, heavy… the dull yet persistent, permeating ache, and the way your ankle protests being used….
2020 December – Week 53
Well. We made it. I made it. To the end of a year full of both upheaval and stagnation. Of uncertainty. Disenchantment. Rage. Of hope and love. Disquiet and quiet. All words that pack a punch this time but could probably be recounted at the end of every year. Because life is always a mixed…
2020 December – Week 52
I saw a meme about 202o. It went like this: 2020: January February COVID December That felt accurate. Sunday Sammy loves when Brian visits. It makes me happy to see them together… and guilty. Monday This picture of Christina hosting announcements from her living room with the fake snow and the exaggerated participation in the…
