I’m trying to balance cutting my belongings in half with organizing my digital archives.
Today I was debating what old textbooks were the most important. I set them aside for awhile to switch gears. Then sat to put in another 20 minutes towards the digital clutter. I opened an old thumb drive from my undergrad days… Oh, it was an answer to what was bothering me. I don’t have…

I was doing well but… Mombie struck!
Mombie is a term used to describe a mother who hasn’t slept enough. She is barely functional, pissed off, and running on auto pilot.

Oh gosh,
Was going through my collections of work… and found entire presentations with audio. (I guess I can read scripts!) They’ve sat in storage for years! They’re not too bad either. They were made around the time I was in a wheelchair. My voice is froggy, but I was in so much pain. Good job, old…

Perfection’s a Confection
“Oh, they’re perfect,” and swoon, Swept up over the moon. Not realized.. Perceived blessings Disguised curses Of filled purses, Cameras for familiar faces, curtailed. Red on sidewalks, Where blood once spilled. Now the carpet’s rolled out… You don’t belong here. Step aside from perfection, You’ll ruin the shot… be gone. A loved face, Made anonymous.…

Divorce Reflection Part 2
One of the most difficult realizations since the divorce turned out to be the most liberating. I needed to think in terms of only my children and me, and not include a father figure in my “life planning.” This was so painful to REALLY embrace, and I couldn’t figure out why.
