Went to get my Real ID today. Because I wanna be prepared. When Gilead comes. And they try to make me work the colonies. I need to be able to get to Mexico. “Do you have your birth certificate?” Yes. “Ohhhh. You didn’t get a signature on this?” On…my birth certificate? “Yes. You should have … Continue reading Birth Certificate or Certificate of Birth
My Awkward Self
Station Stress
It’s possible some of us may owe J-Vicious an apology. I’m not…entirely comfortable with the idea of apologizing to J-V. But I’m also an upstanding person. Who can admit when she was wrong. Fall Risk and I volunteered for Ironman registration day again this year. Picked one of those all day 8 hour work hours … Continue reading Station Stress
Where Have All The Water Balloons Gone?
I would like to leave now, please. “No. You’re going to just sit in this for a bit.” Because Rogue enjoys the absurd. A little too much. And Fall Risk is impervious to it. What had happened was we were having pre-movie dinner. And two women walked in. And one of them waved. In our … Continue reading Where Have All The Water Balloons Gone?
Awkward Encounters
"Oh, you live there!" And it was the way she emphasized "you.' Like, maybe I was not supposed to live there. In my home. That I bought. And pay for every month. And spend three-four days every week mowing. And cleaning. And chatting with. So I stopped. And kind of looked around myself. To make … Continue reading Awkward Encounters
Confections Happiness
"I picked up a sentimental card first. And then remembered who you were. This one felt right." She went with accuracy instead. Because Work Boyfriend knows me. And she thinks I'm hawt. Had a dude stop me at mile nine of my run yesterday morning. As I was literally nearing the end stages of dehydration. … Continue reading Confections Happiness
Fight Invite
I started my day thinking someone had challenged me to a fight after school. I mean, you only get called to Apple Market after school for two reasons. And I was pretty sure no one wanted to make out with me. So a fight it was. And I was down. Because it’s been a rough … Continue reading Fight Invite
Drop In Neighbors and Rock Castle Gorge
An hour. It has taken me a full hour. To assemble this fucking office chair. Maybe two. It’s all an obscenities filled blur. This is not a single person job. And yes. Those are my pajama bottoms in a heap on the floor. Shit got hectic for a while. Those holes…just wouldn’t line up. And … Continue reading Drop In Neighbors and Rock Castle Gorge
Understanding Walter
This is Walter. Walter thinks I am a dumbass. I think Walter is…probably right… First. It’s important for us all to remember. That I am an intelligent person. I am as intelligent as a person can be. While simultaneously being a dumbass. So, I have this big ass lawn. Prior to this weekend, it was … Continue reading Understanding Walter
Eye Exams
I hate eye exams. Way worse than any other medical appointment. And as a woman, that’s saying a lot. It’s the pressure to perform, you know? At least at my annual. I can just lay there. And only be physically uncomfortable. I can handle physical discomfort. Mostly. At least up to 45 miles. But it’s … Continue reading Eye Exams
Continuing To Prove My Intelligence
"I almost stopped you and told you to get off the road yesterday." What? Why? "You were out running. Police cars just flying by you. Lights on. Sirens blaring. Because there was some dude out on Washington St with a gun." Huh. "But then I figured you'd already passed him. Given him a high five. … Continue reading Continuing To Prove My Intelligence
