Midlife Musings
Fortysomething. If my life were a TV show, that would be the title, and these are the episodes. Or maybe I am just having an episode.
Everything they don't put in the brochure for your 40s. Work situations that make your blood boil, body changes nobody prepared you for, pop culture opinions held with unreasonable conviction, and the general absurdity of being a grown woman who still hasn't figured out what she wants to be when she grows up. Honest, unfiltered, and occasionally petty in ways that are entirely justified.No Laughing Matter – The Joke is On Us

Beware the Ides of March
An ill wind is blowing… quite literally. The spread of the corona virus is imminent, despite what the American public wants to believe. It can happen to any of us. I return to work tomorrow. I have concerns over what I will encounter.
Fuck Valentine’s Day
I spent Valentine's Day alone at the bar of a drafthouse movie theatre. Don't wait for someone else to tell you that you are worthy.
