So, I’m at the age now where people gift me pantyliners. Like, they hand me a bag and say, “Here is a gift to help you control your pee.” It probably doesn’t help that I had to clean up my own pee from the bathroom floor at work the other day. But still. I feel … Continue reading A Very Special Gift

Friday Night Fitness
I slept in this morning. Felt amazing. My body needed it, too. On account of the gym. Last night. A Friday night. I don’t go to the gym on a Friday night. I’ve got better things to do on a Friday night. (The new Mandalorian episodes are released on Fridays. And I don’t wanna hear … Continue reading Friday Night Fitness
This Is Just What We Do Now
I’m a helper. I like to help. Even maybe when no one asks or even wants me to. My co-worker didn’t ask me to help this morning. But there were a LOT of names on the absent staff board. And the system needed to help develop a coverage plan was down. And so I was … Continue reading This Is Just What We Do Now
Catch Me If You Can
So, we’ve skipped straight over fall right into frozen tundra. And I spent a lot of time walking in and out of well-heated buildings today. In and out of the frozen tundra. I didn’t want to go to the gym. I wanted to go home. To sweatpants. And blankets. And basketball. And so very much … Continue reading Catch Me If You Can
Terrible Lies
I snuck through Vinton last night. Trying not to be seen. But I can’t not admit to what I did. I’m a terrible deviant. Like, I can be wildly inappropriate with no problem. I have no issues with trespassing in the name of adventure and mountain views. I’m quite fond of the curse words. I’ll … Continue reading Terrible Lies
Catawba Run But Not Around
So, my girls ran the Athens Marathon yesterday. Or they are running it. Yesterday. Or maybe they’re running it right now. I don’t really understand the time-space continuum between continents. I might’ve figured it out during the time I lived in Ireland. If I’d made it outside of a pub every now and then. Also, … Continue reading Catawba Run But Not Around
Twenty Six Degrees
26 degrees. That’s the temperature it will be at 6am tomorrow. When I’m starting out on the Catawba Run Around. It will be 26 degrees. Here. Where I live. Not even on a mountain. Which means it will probably be 16 degrees on North Mountain. Which is already the worst place in the world. I … Continue reading Twenty Six Degrees
One Rule: Don’t Talk About Greece
We have one rule for this week. It’s just one. So you should all be able to remember. And follow it. NO ONE TALKS ABOUT GREECE. Talk about Fight Club all you want. Just don’t mention Greece. For this week, we just pretend that place doesn’t even exist. I’m looking at you, J-Vicious. He’s looking … Continue reading One Rule: Don’t Talk About Greece
Return to PFSF
I just spent 28 minutes arguing with my body. About whether or not we had to shower before work. I mean, we showered after the gym last night. Let’s sleep in. But that was only a cursory shower. We should actually clean all the places. Why? Who are we trying to impress at work? And … Continue reading Return to PFSF
A Very KRob Christmas
Yesterday was K-Rob-D’s birthday. So we decided to celebrate. By taking her out to eat. At Red Lobster. Because... Wait. No. No, that wasn’t us. That’s what normal families do. We are not a normal family. We celebrate each other differently. And we plan a lot. And this celebration has been in planning for about … Continue reading A Very KRob Christmas
