Enjoying the Scenery

Wednesday, February 15, 2023

Last winter was particularly hard. I’ve worked in tech for years, and enjoyed some autonomy with the option to work from home when it suited me (some employers have been more flexible than others). Since the pandemic started, I’ve almost exclusively worked from my cramped bedroom. I have a lovely compact ladder desk with side [...]

All Stories End

Tuesday, December 21, 2021

Usually I celebrate the solstice. But my good friend Matt Gray died yesterday. While I very much want to celebrate him, I’m still reeling. Last week I was able to join a Zoom with Matt, to tell him how much I loved him and how much his friendship meant to me. Matt said he loved [...]

A Matter Of Scale

Monday, April 12, 2010

What a wonderful weekend. Life is good right now, despite our egregious seasonal allergies (I practically have to sit on the kid to get the prescription eye drops in his eyes). A small price to pay for contentment I guess. Though I am just superstitious enough to think I should shut up now, lest I [...]

Stands With A Fist!

Friday, November 14, 2008

I am so ready for this week to be over with. It’s been chock full of crankiness, with added heaps of anxiety. Not just for me but for most everyone I know. To add to the ugh yesterday I found out one of my favorite places in St. Paul, the Minnesota Museum of American Art, [...]

To Here Knows When

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

This week we’ll be moving on into August already, and then I’ll be in a proper panic over September. There’s the lad’s ninth birthday party to plan (he wants the moon) and my impending trip to New York to sort out. But we haven’t purchased our airfare yet, because the ATP dis-organizers never confirmed our [...]

Keeping the Spare Key Inside the Safe

Monday, June 30, 2008

I feel like I’m way behind so I’ll just get this all out of my head and spew in chronological order:
The not so good

I’ve been contending with some serious writer’s block/lethargy. Obviously.
Our shower is broken. I’ll have to take baths until I have the money to fix it. Which, at this point, will pretty much [...]

The Poetry of Possibility

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Two weeks from today I turn 35. As per usual, I plan to celebrate for fully half of the month. Minimum. I’d totally go to the Walker’s Rock the Garden event on the 21st, if someone had a spare ticket for me (hint hint). And I’m looking forward to another Pizza Farm adventure with friends. [...]

An Apparently Insoluble Difficulty

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

Last night I talked to the guy who replaced my boiler. When he took apart the vent for the old one, the innards were completely caked with soot. Just totally blocked up. Which had caused the carbon monoxide problem. But it looked like someone had attempted to clean it out in the past…and had done [...]

There Is No Silver Bullet

Sunday, May 4, 2008

My body rebels and I’m left with no options. Other than to stop. And wait. Waiting it out is hard, especially when it means missing so much. My plans for the weekend had to be scrapped. No Free Comic Book Day. No Cinco de Mayo. No cupcakes. And, worst of all, bailing on a photography [...]

A Key to an Empty Room

Tuesday, April 22, 2008

Been feeling sort of low energy and useless lately. I haven’t had the focus to finish up some projects, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking about them. Which only gets me more wound up and feeling overwhelmed. Trying to turn that around, to look at what I have accomplished and to chop up the [...]
