    If you haven’t been following what’s going on in my life, hoo boy … For starters, I’m going back to school! I thought that I had missed the deadline to get into the fall semester, but as it turns out, I had not. Over the course of the previous week, I resent all of my…

    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…

    Well! I was much more productive this past week than I was during the one previous, so I am incredibly happy about that. Most of them are still a work in progress, although I did finally buy a damn weed trimmer. Granted, it was only $78.00 and came with a blower, so I will not…

    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…

    I have no excuse. I barely accomplished anything from my to-do list last week. My sister was the one who found my Kindle (it was hiding in the cushions of one of the chairs in the living room), so I can’t even take credit for that. I mean, okay, I did post my art project…

    Now that I’ve got my two main characters outta the way, I can go into the major characters! First up? Sunny, Jill’s longtime best friend. Sunshine “Sunny” Colon-O’Bryan met Jill in a ballet class when they were four years old and instantly bonded (Jill quit after a couple of classes, but their parents saw how…

    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,…
