It’s 11:47pm and the midnight posting deadline is coming soon. I think I know what I need to do. I need to brush my teeth and get to bed. More tomorrow. Love you.

Wayward Frogs
“Come Mama, follow me. Jump in da pud-dle!” My daughter’s imagination is legit. So I follow and jump onto a blanket that’s splayed out in the middle of the rug. Still, people’s voices will play in my head. “That age was my favorite” and “Enjoy it while it lasts.” Instead of helping, their words tormentContinue reading “Wayward Frogs”
A Newish You
Creating a new persona is a tip I learned on an episode of “Accelerated Spanish” podcast. This alter ego is supposed to think, speak, and behave in a different way than you usually would, and the podcast creator insists switching personalities this way is a tool native speakers use to be highly effective. I thought,Continue reading “A Newish You”
Grime Scene
I hope you know the sweet satisfaction of blowing mildew and algae into obliteration with the high-powered nozzle of a pressure washer. If you don’t, you should get your feet wet – not literally – and search power washing porn on Reddit. I admit it, I’ve been known to frequent those orgasmic videos a timeContinue reading “Grime Scene”
Surfin USA
After writing close to 120 blog posts this year I’ve created a solid system to produce them. I start in OpenOffice, cut, paste, and edit it in Grammarly, and then do my final edits here in WordPress. However, tonight I’m scrapping all of it. I need to get in the car and drive to theContinue reading “Surfin USA”
All By Myself
I’m in the office basement. Alone. The sound of thundering elephants is coming from above, but yet, nobody’s home. Of course, my mind surmises it’s likely kidnappers and robbers hard at work pillaging. Pillaging what? I can’t say. Because with Dave and Evelyn away, there’s nothing of much value up there anyway. I’m sure IContinue reading “All By Myself”
Not Today
Today, the 5-year-old neighbor girl swung on the swings and jumped on the trampoline with Evelyn. When they ran together across the field, Brighton turned to Evelyn and posed the question of all questions. “Do you want to be my friend?” I couldn’t help but hold my breath, the mother in me felt protective forContinue reading “Not Today”
Chitter Chatter
I’m fearful I’m going to fail the mother and daughter pair I am starting to work with. Mostly I’m afraid my emotions will steer the three of us straight into a concrete barrier. Which means I must bring all my self-care and soothing techniques to the big game. Deep breathing. Curiosity. Keep it light. IContinue reading “Chitter Chatter”
Dill Dohs
What if I were writing this just for me? When writing my nightly blog, I dream of going off the rails, into the great beyond of absurdity and obscurity to never return. “Everyone Everywhere All At Once” is just that, and is my new favorite movie. Hot dog fingers and dildo fighting along with aContinue reading “Dill Dohs”
Who You Are
“The answer to the question you keep asking yourself. Who are you meant to be? Go inside, bang the drum, and find out.” The wise elder commands the youthful main character inward; into a cave where she will find her calling. This is from the movie “Moana”. Inside she learns that her ancestors were oneContinue reading “Who You Are”
