    I don’t spend a lot of time talking about myself or my personal life/background at work. Not that I am trying to be mysterious, but why would I?

    Achievement Unlocked: Back to Work and Getting My Shit Together

    April 9, 2019 / No Comments

    I never thought that work would have such an impact on my life. As it turns out, it did have a huge impact, and getting hired has relieved me of the uncertainty that was causing a lot of stress in my life. Not to mention injected a booster shot of confidence in myself and my abilities. Basically I feel like a fucking adult.

    Why I’m Missing Out – Stuck on the Edge of the Dating Pool

    April 8, 2019 / No Comments

    Six years ago, in a state fourteen hundred miles away, I got divorced. I don’t know what I expected to feel many years later, but this isn’t it. I had no specific hopes that I would be all extra assertive and shit, comfortable flexing my singlehood and meeting men.

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.
