    April 14, 2024 / No Comments

    Another year, another bad birthday. At this point in my life I should just expect to be disappointed, yet somehow, despite knowing better, I am still surprised at how terribly it all ends up going.

    Tears Solve Nothing – Lean Into the Anger

    June 19, 2020 / No Comments

    I admit, there is no love lost between me and my parents. I have stated unequivocally many times that if the man who fathered me passed away right now, I wouldn’t care. I also acknowledge my growing ambivalence about my mother’s eventual demise, not surprising as we are not super close and growing further apart as time goes by.

    Joy of joys. I love winter. I do not love winter weight—the inevitable extra cushioning I seem to accumulate around my middle as my body prepares for the never to happen hibernation. However, this season I was doing better…until my mother came into town.

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.
