Very quickly into our exchange I could tell I was not in the mood for this woman. It had been a very long day of a very long week. My boss was on extended vacation, leaving me truly in charge for the first time since I started this job in July. Since then it’s been … Continue reading Trigger Warning

Whole Confusion
Today I worked out at one of our branches that happens to be located next to a Whole Foods. When I finished my shift at noon I thought to myself well, I guess I could go to Whole Foods and grab something. I wasn’t fully committed to the idea because I have a weird and … Continue reading Whole Confusion
More words that will solve nothing but are the truth
I was a freshman in high school when Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was entering college. I attended a small private college preparatory high school, co-ed and not a boarding school, but certainly in the same orbit as schools like Georgetown Prep. When I graduated I entered a highly regarded university which though public was … Continue reading More words that will solve nothing but are the truth
Complicit
During the insanity of events this week, I found myself reading some comments on a post about Trump’s Russia summit. Someone mentioned “the pee tape”, and there was much discussion about whatever it is that Russia “has” on Donald Trump. I admit I’ve savored this line of thinking, that somewhere there’s a smoking gun, a … Continue reading Complicit
Bitter as an Orange, Post Script
Today I was at an appointment with my psychiatrist, just the usual check in. We talked about the fact that I felt like these times are leaving me no margin, no cushion of calm. By the time I get to work I'm already emotionally fried. We discussed practical strategies and some med adjustments. We scheduled … Continue reading Bitter as an Orange, Post Script

If we were having a disagreement and tears started, he would … Continue reading Bitter as an orange

We spent a day going on blind dates with kittens and met our new babies, a boy and a girl … Continue reading Stillness
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
I started this blog with a lot of enthusiasm. I was going to write about important topics with verve and flair. I wanted to create something that shows what it means to be a thinking person in today’s world that does not reward thoughtful analysis. And sometimes I wanted to tell silly stories to make … Continue reading Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
They call it Bella Notte
Rational people understand that Valentine’s Day is a ridiculous day to go out. I am a rational person who also finds themselves torn about V-Day. It’s silly, and contrived and etc. But, I spent most of my life without a Valentine, and now there’s this guy who is LEGALLY OBLIGATED to be my Valentine and … Continue reading They call it Bella Notte
Famous people
So last week I went to see Anna Faris at her book signing up in Seattle. I mostly know Anna from her podcast, Unqualified, which I really enjoy. I'm always a little hesitant to go meet people of whom I'm "a fan". I've had a few crappy experiences with that, but on her podcast she's … Continue reading Famous people
