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.-

It’s Swimsuitphobia Season!
Living in Texas means accepting that Summer isn’t the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It spans 10 months out of the year and only ends when it is damn well in the mood to.

With Friends Like These
One of my close friends at work is having a hard time. Turns out he is being bullied by a mutual friend named Jem. There’s a lot wrong with Jem, professionally and personally, but this is a new low. It is another bad episode of high school, all over again.

I Hate You More – Meeting the Female Mr Horrible
There may have been a time in my life when I may have cared what people thought of me. Not counting any of the time when I was married. Those years don’t count because I wasn’t myself, I was some crazed Stepford Wife version of myself which existed only in that toxic ass relationship. I have since booted that bitch version of myself and told her to kick rocks. So maybe I gave a shit way back when I was a teenager. Since then, things have changed.
