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 May – Week 21
It really feels like I’m on the cusp of something… in more ways than one. And that’s a good feeling. Sunday I’ve been really focused on my manuscript lately. My self-imposed goal of being ready to re-query in June is fast-approaching. But I’m almost there! I can’t believe how much the pages have changed, and…
2021 May – Week 20
May is proving to be a pretty full month. I get the sense that people are itching to get back out into the world. I am not. Well, that’s not entirely true… After all, I’m planning a cross-country road trip with my dad. But I’m also perfectly content to sit home most days or go…
2021 May – Week 19
I’m not entirely sure where the first week of May went, and as I look back at my posts, I realize I’ve been phoning it in— both in my photo journal and in life. I hate that. Who wants to spend their life half-hearted? And I don’t want this picture project to be a thing…
2021 April – Week 17
Is 2021 over yet? Just kidding. Kind of. I hate wishing for the passing of time, but also, like, this year sucks ass. Sunday At least it throws fun-shaped carrots at me. Monday And surprises me with acceptances on subs I’d completely forgotten about. Or, rather, sub. Singular. Still, this made me smile. And then…
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….
2021 April – Week 15
It’s starting to not feel like a pandemic anymore. It obviously isn’t over, but it feels like the sun is rising on a new day… We’re all still masked-up at school, big events are still postponed, and I remain cautious. But everyone and everything feels more optimistic right now. Until, you know, you look at…
2021 April – Week 14
Who doesn’t love a week off, especially when the weather is so ready for you to join it outside? The temperature mostly sat in the upper sixties and lower seventies (though there was a day that reached for eighty and very nearly grabbed it), and the sun blessed us with a warmth the wind lightly…
2021 March – Week 13
Life started to feel like… life? again. I returned to the school building, was able to spend some much needed time with Amanda, and I ventured into the world a little, hitting up TJ Maxx for a single needed item and walking away with seven shirts and a sugar holder I have no use for….
