It's funny. Ages ago, I would have felt the butt of the joke, right? I get to a place of confidence, where I feel like I know some shit, that I have all this experience, all this built-upon tradition, and it's not like I decided I was some know it all, but I thought, hey, … Continue reading Dear Poseidon,

April Progress, etc.
Big Hooray!! (because if we don’t pat ourselves on the back, who will?) April has been a good month. Now, I’m the first to say that our worth ought not be based in our productivity, and yes, that’s a reminder I need to give myself on the regular. That being said, it feels damned good … Continue reading April Progress, etc.

February: A Report
February should be summed up in one word: snow. There hasn’t been a lot of it, mind, but we did get the better part of a foot dumped on us overnight, on the 25th, and it did close the city down. My workplace closed early due to people not being able to get in. For … Continue reading February: A Report
Frustration, Shame, Guilt, Anger; #mentalhealthdiaries
I did a funny thing today. I bought into the propaganda I’ve been fed my whole life in regards to what, as a citizen of these United States, I can expect when it comes to quality of life. Now, look. I know better. I do. I was uninsured for a long-ass time, because I couldn’t … Continue reading Frustration, Shame, Guilt, Anger; #mentalhealthdiaries
Double Exposure
The wind smells of rain. More than that, it smells of green and of earth. If I stand still and close my eyes and pretend that I can’t hear the cars rushing by on 11th, and 6th, and 7th, or the sound of the factories two blocks over, or people coming out of their houses … Continue reading Double Exposure

January Round Up and Progress Report
January has been a doctor-heavy month, and February is looking to be the same. (Everyone is fine!) We had the vet out for the last of Molly’s updates (let’s hear it for oral vaccines!). The vet was new to our practice, as was the vet tech, and while Molly was doped out to calm her … Continue reading January Round Up and Progress Report
Looking Back, Looking Ahead
December Round Up As mentioned in my previous round-up, there are a number of things I aim to be doing (intentions, rather than goals. I picked this distinction up from some folks in one of the planner groups where I lurk, and I rather inherent permission the distinction seems to grant me) (a mind trick? … Continue reading Looking Back, Looking Ahead
