my thoughts and … thoughts

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. Like … you have no idea. First, I thought I was gonna be starting school in the Spring but then I found out that I could start this fall. So I got enrolled in College Algebra because it was a prereq for MTSU’s nursing school. Freaked out…

A few years ago, I attended a free writers’ workshop that was hosted at the Tim Faulkner gallery, a local art spot in Louisville, and I can’t say that I was expecting anything. I had arrived too late to speak to any publishers or printers like I had wanted to – work kept me from…

On July 15, 2019, I lost Zola, my English bulldog. She lived for eleven years and five months, with only the first two or three months of that where she wasn’t in my life. She was literally my best friend, from the moment I took her little wiggly ass home with me. She comforted me…

I’ve been playing with the idea of going back to school for years. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve made social media posts about it, and even though at the time (all of them) I was 100% behind my decision, things just never manifested, either due to outside forces – money being…

I can’t really remember a time when I liked food. Sure, there are things I’d rather eat over others – Indian cuisine, in particular – but at best, I get annoyed that I have to eat. I know that I need to do it, but it just takes up time, both in the act of…

I lasted five days. Honestly, I managed to get farther than I thought I was going to be able to, so I call this a victory. Now, I didn’t just think, “I’ll just stop right now because I can’t do it.” I needed to have reasons, so like any person who willfully dismisses the scientific…

Disclaimer: my father is a colon-rectal surgeon, so the topic of bodily functions (in both theory and practice) does not gross me out. However, I know that not everyone has the same constitution that I do, so in an attempt to be sensitive to that, I provide a content warning. omg I cannot stop pooping.…

Yesterday was hard, y’all. I had a headache almost all day and focusing was not necessarily the easiest. I’m feeling a bit better today (also, my breakfast frittata was much improved over yesterday’s experiment, which wasn’t bad, it was just obvious I’d never made the fucker before). I just need to keep telling myself that,…

I was going to start Whole30 on August 1st, but then I jumped the gun and bought a bunch of produce, thinking for some reason that the 1st was Wednesday (I blame the coronavirus), so I started today. Now, I’m still legit scared about this, even after planning my whole week of meals (who even…

To begin my second installment of IHWLC, I’m going to introduce Mah-gret: And that’s Mah-gret, not Margaret FYI. This obviously isn’t her, but it’s basically the same car: a 2000 Mazda 626. She was the car my parents gifted to me after Spaz gave up the ghost, and I was thankful. It was reliable! The…
