Where’ve ya been ?!?!

Hey! Long time, no see! But seriously… It’s September, rainy, there’s a chill in the air, it’s SPOOKY SEASON. No better time for a 🧟‍♂️ zombie story – so why not bring this old blog back from the dead, huh? Well, let’s catch you up. First off… COVID! Huh?? HUH?!!! No, I haven’t been locked…

  FEELING:  Nominally better, in general. My RN who prescribes my Escitalopram straight-up DOUBLED my dose for the duration of…. *gestures around at the fuckery* THIS. It is … not sucky. The other day I was blissed-out watching Nadiyas Time to Eat on Netflix and I was so happy to see her holding baby sheep and I realized…

Real Housebound

  Aw, its evergreen, but I feel it on SUCH A DEEPER LEVEL.   We*re — what? — SIX weeks into quarantine? Or is it Social Distancing? Or Self Isolation? I dont know, I dont know the difference, and I dont actually CARE. The gist is, its been a fuckin LONG TIME since I left…

I Recommend Pinterest

I*ll admit it: my favorite hobby is scrolling.   Scrolling through my phone! Scrolling on my laptop! I am a Millennial, after all. I came of age with Social Media. I was among the first generation of teenagers who were addicted to it – of course, then we only had MySpace, message boards, and AOL…

  dont @ me, this photo was taken last month before the world ended and we all had to go inside.   FEELING:  Next question. . WATCHING: Ok lets be real — the only way I know what day it is is by which TV show aired last night, so I can watch it online…

Rice – a – Rona

  I don*t even know how it got here, but once it arrived, there seemed to be no getting rid of it.   Last week half a bag of jasmine rice showed up in my food cupboard. And by *food cupboard* I of course am referring to the 1/2 of the shelf below the microwave…

2020 Vision

    Wow, what a year this has been! Not so different from last year, and yet, so much has changed. Me abandoning this blog, for one thing. Is “blog guilt” real? Because I think i’s real. It feels so real!    To be honest, I haven’t stepped through the Blog Door of my brain in too long and I’m…

  FEELING:  Like I’m taking a breath at last! After a good six months of steady, nonstop, deadline-pushing work, I’ve kind of got a little more breathing room in my schedule. The only problem is, it’s made me kind of miss work! Like, now that tours are slowing down, there’s finally time to ENJOY giving…

Currently… in November 2019

  FEELING:  Starting to relax — starting to. I’ve recently gone from consistent 12-hour days to more routine 8-hour days at work. Still doing tours on weekends, but I’m trying to eke out a better work-life balance for myself. I’m feeling needed and inspired, which is good. . WATCHING: I was really disappointed with the…

Currently… in October 2019

  FEELING:  Kinda overwhelmed? I’ve been working at a different studio for most of the month, a studio that’s over an hour away from my home, and the commute was killing me. How do people do it? I’ve also been having stomach problems randomly and repeatedly all month (a month which has flown by, honestly!), which I’m worried about. . WATCHING:…

Currently… in September 2019

  FEELING:  Amazingly, a little bit more balanced! A few weekends of minimal tours/responsibilities combined with a trend of getting home from my weekday job by 7pm has left me feeling like I’m just the tiniest bit more in control of my life. You will recall, of course, that my summer had been swirling to a mad…

Balance

  Ok, after complaining incessantly about being busy and basically abandoning my blog, I’m seeking balance.    Because I don’t want to ABANDON my blog. BUT, I can’t exactly pre-schedule blogs to post 3x a week either. That was feasible when I could write blog posts during my free time. Now, I’m all like, “what’s free time?”  …
