Thank you for reading, following, or just stopping by my blog. I hope you enjoy!
Just sad.
I am really fucking sad today. I had a whole list of reasons why when I was eating my lunch, but now - none of them even seem relevant. My day started out fine; I had my coffee & went for a run. My run time was shit but I expect that because I am… Continue reading Just sad.
Thoughts from Somewhere in California
Listen, I love music. Like really, really love music. I pride myself on having a vast knowledge of music. When someone asks what genre of music I listen to, it is hard to pinpoint it because I just love music. My memory bank of song lyrics is expansive and impressive (to me anyway). I can… Continue reading Thoughts from Somewhere in California
Taylor Swift Eras Tour 2023
It has been 8 days since I went to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour in Houston with my two besties & I still cannot think about it without crying. I know that may seem dramatic, but it was life changing. On Saturday, April 22 Sam and I drove to Winnie, Texas (just outside of Houston)… Continue reading Taylor Swift Eras Tour 2023
Aspen.
At the beginning of 2023, I told myself I was going to write a new blog every day that Bill was gone on this current rotation. That lasted less than 3 weeks, but not because the intention wasn't there. I really wanted to keep writing, but I lost the motivation when my Bitty Baby got… Continue reading Aspen.
I am lucky. The Universe favors me. I deserve good things.
This morning started out hard. Hard is such an arbitrary word. Everyone has their own version of what is hard, and most times I feel guilty for labeling personal minor inconveniences as hard. But I am writing my own story, and I need to release myself of feeling guilty for thinking some of my daily… Continue reading I am lucky. The Universe favors me. I deserve good things.
Days 10 – 16
December 29, 2022 - January 3, 2023 part of me feels like "oh, it has only been 16 days!", while the other part of me is like, "OH, has it ONLY been 16 days?!" Say what you want, but Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time. That is fact-based, not just my… Continue reading Days 10 – 16
Days 5 – 9
December 24th - 28th Look at me. I have already (somewhat) lost count of the days. It is kind of hard to believe it has already been nine days since Bill left to go back over there. I think doing a weekly wrap-up instead of a daily breakdown is going to be better for this… Continue reading Days 5 – 9
120-ish Days of Not Letting My Life Unravel Days 1 – 4
I don't feel totally satisfied with the title of this blog & kind of feel like I need a better one. I feel like the current one implies that by Bill being gone, my life is incomplete or I rely on him so deeply that I cannot find peace & joy alone. Neither of which… Continue reading 120-ish Days of Not Letting My Life Unravel Days 1 – 4
120-ish Days of Not Letting My Life Unravel – Day 0
Yeah, I know - my title is dramatic, but what is life without a little bit of drama. Long story short: my husband is a kennel master contractor for the State Department. He spends 9 months out of the year (non-consecutive) overseas. This is, I believe, his fifth tour. I should have started this blog… Continue reading 120-ish Days of Not Letting My Life Unravel – Day 0
