Only five more weeks of school. I refuse to count the sixth week. Because I’m going to spend that one locked in my office. Pretending standardized testing. And truancy. And allll of the just really awful things our kids are experiencing. Are not actual things. Just gonna be staring off into the void. Until June … Continue reading New Pandemic Greeting

Toilet Paper Quest
Ok y’all. We need to chat. I’m looking specifically at you, America. Netherlands. Malta. England. Y’all can go about your business. I think Australia may need to hear this. But I don’t think I have any readers there. So. When we first started hearing about the Corons. Some of y’all went out and bought up … Continue reading Toilet Paper Quest
This Is Not A Snow Day
My boss was very clear on this point. Last week, I was quickly approaching my stress limit. Work was overwhelming. I was near tears. I know. I cry. A lot. People barely even notice anymore. But seriously. These were stress limit tears. They’re legit. Because look it. Every one of those files was a letter … Continue reading This Is Not A Snow Day
Mustard Is Acceptable
“What’s the best condiment?” In my mind I was thinking ketchup. “If you pick ketchup, you’re a fucking chump.” Thank god he wasn’t asking me. I would’ve definitely picked ketchup. “Mustard is acceptable.” I mean, I think mustard is probably the worst of the condiments. But I also would’ve picked ketchup, so what the fuck … Continue reading Mustard Is Acceptable
Unplanned Three Day Weekend
So, unplanned three day weekend. Because rain. I mean, that’s what I thought when the dogs still insisted on getting up at 5:00am to go pee. And I was extra pissy. Because first, I cannot explain to you how much a snow day today throws my entire year off track. Like, I literally cannot even … Continue reading Unplanned Three Day Weekend
Nighttime Hunger Games
I'm not sure what went on in my bedroom last night. I probably should. I was there. But as a rule, I sleep pretty hard. I sleep the way I eat when I've been running all day, and I'm finally at a restaurant trying not to take my knife and fork to someone else's food … Continue reading Nighttime Hunger Games
I Can’t Stop The Words
Probably someday someone's going to stop letting me talk to the other people. I'm just sitting here in the car shop waiting room place waiting for Grungy Mechanic-Looking Dude to honk my horn (again, not a euphemism) and unreject me. And suddenly I feel the urge to start saying words. Grungy Mechanic-Looking Dude: Nissan Rogue? … Continue reading I Can’t Stop The Words
Living That Rejected Life
I was rejected yesterday. I'm still struggling with it. There I was, just sitting in the waiting room working on testing schedules, and this grungy mechanic-looking dude walks up and says, "I'm gonna have to give you a rejected sticker." Oh. So this is how dating works now? Dudes reject you before you even ask … Continue reading Living That Rejected Life
Yoga Connection
I just yelled "Twinsies!" a little too loudly at a woman in the hallway at work. I don't know her. She didn't get excited and yell it back to me or hug me or even smile at me. She actually kind of sped up a bit and half ran into the bathroom before I got … Continue reading Yoga Connection
Totally Normal Jealousies
I didn't used to think of myself as a jealous person. Recent events have suggested that I may have a teeny tiny jealous streak in me. Like, just a small, itty bitty, totally emotionally healthy jealous streak. My quick "hmph" at my BFF's post about how much she loves her best friend. Which is not … Continue reading Totally Normal Jealousies
