    For those of you all who don’t know, I work in customer service. Which is highly ironic because I HATE people/humanity on a bone deep level. But in my case, I am more in charge of investigating reported issues for validity, before providing a resolution, which I do in fact, love.

    Excuse Me, Mansplainer

    June 7, 2020 / No Comments

    I was going to write a poem to mark the occasion. It would have been titled: Ode to the Mansplainer, and it was going to be epic.

However, like all things fleeting, the words washed out of my hair right down the drain so I had forgotten it all by the time I was toweling myself dry. Sigh.

    My youngest son has graduated high school. Thanks to COVID-19 the graduation ceremony was first cancelled, then postponed, then it evolved into this weird drive-thru event at a race track.

I blog about the random ass shit going on in my life. I'm a single mom, a Navy veteran, avid reader, and coping with life post-divorce. I have two sons and five cats, so clearly, I'm a catch. I pull no punches and use salty language. Read at your own risk.
