So, I’ve been trying out this whole “independent contractor” thing for almost a year now. My thoughts are that I could get used to the money, but not the responsibility for my own insurance and taxes. My contract is up on the eleventh of February, so it’s time to buckle down on that search for
Why is it that the week before any vacation or big plans is longer than any other week of the year? It’s not even all that big a deal, really. As a Christmas gift to myself, I got myself a Disneyland season pass, so with Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr day, I’m taking
I don’t think anyone who knows me would be surprised by the fact that I kind of fly by the seat of my pants when I write. Oh, I usually have a few established plot points in mind when I start, some targets to hit along the way, but sometimes all I have is a
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

I came back from my amazing trip to Austin to start a new job, in a new industry that I know nothing about and may well be beyond my ability to grasp. But I’m trying. Week 2 and I’ve already had to take a sick day because I caught a cold, but hey, I’m pretty
Last weekend I was in Austin celebrating a friend’s birthday, and getting to see a cousin I haven’t seen since we graduated high school together. It was a fabulous long weekend that started on Wednesday. The mini-vacation included getting to hang in the pool and spend lots of hours catching up with my cousin and
Yesterday was not a good day. I was feeling all over aches, bloating, nausea, stiffness in my back….just yuck.
