In a moment of openness. And vulnerability. I confided in Tommy. That I had again put on another 5 lbs. And am again at my new highest weight ever. And he responded. This friend. That I'd shared this vulnerable moment with. By saying, "Sounds like you're just solidifying." Solidifying? The fuck does solidifying mean? Is … Continue reading Lightening Up

When you work with "at-risk youth." Children. Kids. The ones with the hard stories. The ones that have already racked up more to overcome in their first ten years, than I will in an entire lifetime. You do what you can to find ways to help them. Support them. Walk them through the overcoming. You … Continue reading The GJBeat Episode 13
Probably Shouldn’t Call It A Comeback…Yet
I just screamed obscenities. At a soap dispenser. While slamming it on the bathroom counter. Repeatedly. ...it wouldn't stand up... It's possible... *sigh* It maybe is time for me to be medicated. Heavily. But when your body starts surprise hemorrhaging. Definitely not on any kind of predictable schedule. But, say, in the middle of an … Continue reading Probably Shouldn’t Call It A Comeback…Yet
NFM Trail Maintenance
"Your assignment is to make sure K-Rob-D doesn't dynamite the mountain." Ummm, ok...I mean. I don't know if you know my history with this particular mountain... But I promise to...not help her dynamite North Fucking Mountain. I wasn't really even supposed to be helping to clean North Fucking Mountain. I hate that mountain. I don't … Continue reading NFM Trail Maintenance
Squeamish Men & Inadequate Legs
I’ll make them connect. Just read. I told Tommy I was gonna write an entire post about girls pooping. Because he thinks we shouldn’t do that. Actually, I think the specific wording was that we shouldn’t be able to do that. Like, somewhere in our history. Women fought for the right to poop. And won. … Continue reading Squeamish Men & Inadequate Legs

Occasionally. About creating a YouTube channel for The GJBeat. Which I got super excited about. But then GJB stopped talking about it. … Continue reading The GJBeat Episode 11

Cove Mountain Return
I’ve got to run a virtual 5k. For my Girls on the Run. Virtual Celebration 5k. (Click on the pic to sign up and support GOTR) And I’m not sure I can. Rogue did two marathons and a 50k last week. Because she doesn’t know how to work Strava. I did one PlayFITStayFIT workout and … Continue reading Cove Mountain Return
Anticipating Rest Month
So, I just had to kind of...roll my body off of my couch...onto the floor...so I could yoga. Kind of yoga. Something mildly akin to yoga. I'm broken. Earlier, I offered to drive the Mayor and The BFF back to their house. That's, like, basically next door. Because I need to keep the Mayor’s step … Continue reading Anticipating Rest Month
