Happy Friday, Readers! I meant to post earlier in the week, but I have actual, paying work at the moment, so my attention has been on that. How are you coping? I’ve had a few bad days, but between work on The Blood Witch and working in my container garden, I’ve found ways to keep
I was going to start this post with some trite comment about surviving another week in this apocalyptic hell, but realized almost immediately that not everybody has survived. So many people I know has lost someone in the last few weeks, or has a loved one in the hospital that they can’t visit. Nearly everyone
Are you as bored as I am, Readers? You are probably tired of blog posts about the virus and how we’re coping. I get that. So, here’s a video I did yesterday with me all dressed up and reading some Edgar Allan Poe to start us off. In other news, I’m trying to get my

I make now secret of the gastric bypass surgery I had a year ago, or how that has altered my life. It’s weird really what changes and what doesn’t. I mean, I still love food, and would love to eat all of the food all of the time, but the difference is that I no
Today’s the day! It’s Star Wars day! I have a ticket to see The Rise of Skywalker at 5pm tonight. I am super excited, and also fairly anxious. I mean, this story has been a part of my life since I was 9 years old. It has helped to shape who I am as a
It’s Friday the 13th, which honestly is a day I love, and not only because I was born on one. I’ll be honest, most superstitions strike me as odd, but they tell us a lot about who we are, or who we came from. The roots of such superstitions can be illuminating, and they illustrate
