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 July – Week 29
Tripsicle headed back east. It wasn’t as fun as the first leg of the trip, but it was nice to be back on the road with my dad. Sunday We altered our plans a little after spending an extra night on the west coast, and instead of stopping in Boise, Idaho, we went a little…
2021 July – Week 28
Tripsicle (what I’d come to call the road trip with my dad… whom I sometimes refer to as Popsicle) continued west… Sunday We arrived in Seattle with enough time to walk around and have a great dinner at a place with a name I can’t quite recall… Cirque something… maybe with the word “Terre” in…
2021 June – Week 25
We made it. The school year is over. It’s funny how when you’re in the thick of it, everything feels so important, so pressing. Each student’s needs are at the forefront of your thoughts, every lesson/unit gets reflected on ten times over, you fret over whether you said exactly the right thing or handled a…
2021 June – Week 24
This week was a whirlwind filled with friends— both old and new— work, exhaustion, frustration, and good times. In a word: life. Sunday Popped over to Amanda’s family’s garage sale on Sunday, not expecting to have to help load up and bring donations to MUCC, but happy to lend a hand and converse with peeps…
2021 June – Week 23
I blinked and we’re halfway through June. Sunday I had a productive Sunday, cleaning, rearranging things a little, and lugging up the window ACs because the weather called for some 90 degree days (the forecast got it right). I finally brought the papasan downstairs, too. It used to sit up near my desk so Sammy…
2021 June – Week 22
My first taste of June 2021 was an interesting mix of flavors. Sunday As May came to a close, Aung and I finally finished submitting his FAFSA. I don’t understand why it’s so hard every year, but it’s always a chore. When we were done, he hung around and introduced me to some anime shows….
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…
