Several years ago, my mother and I were leaving my grandmother’s nursing home when I heard the metallic clink of something falling on the sidewalk. I looked down and found … nothing. I checked my hands to see what could’ve fallen only to discover that my house key had inexplicably fallen off of my key [...]

Sometimes I have a hard time coming up with a title for these random blog posts. Like tonight. I tried, but it just wouldn’t come. I’m taking suggestions. I had a productive day, especially considering my original plan was to do nothing. But I’ve been feeling guilty about not getting the oil changed in my [...]
My Disney

There’s no Mickey Mouse or Magic Mountain, but for me, this is the happiest place on Earth: The curtains in my bedroom are closed, but it doesn’t matter. The sun floods in through the vertical blinds in the living room and the glow creeps down the hall to find me. It’s like a good-morning kiss. [...]
And Then There Were Seven

In one week — seven days — I will have the keys to my condo in my hands. Well, OK, they’ll probably be in my purse, but you get the idea. I do the walk-through on Wednesday. It will be the first time I’ve seen the place since the home inspection in early April. Mind [...]

I haven’t been feeling all that great, so yesterday I finally broke down and went to the doctor. My appointment was in that weird gray zone for my schedule — it was early enough for me not to bother going into work first, but late enough that I’d be late getting in. After my appointment, [...]

I am angry. I am so angry.

So I’m working on improving things. The first thing was to buy a white button-down shirt that fit. Yeah, yeah, I know that sounds minor. Look at you — I bet you were able to just walk into the store and find a shirt that fit you, weren’t you? The sleeves were the right length, [...]
My Dirty Little Secret

… well, one of them anyway, is this blog. No one in my family and none of my friends know that I’ve been writing this blog. Rather, they didn’t. I believe my cover has been blown. A couple months ago, a friend who is in grad school needed help with a project for a class. [...]
What a Difference 5,480 Days Make

Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of a very bad day. When I got the news, I thought I’d never get through another 15 minutes, much less 15 years. And yet here I am. Then, December 10 was always out there looming. Now? It doesn’t strike me like it used to. It’s a presence, of course, [...]

I really wish I had a best friend.
