C-ing past Corona

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting more than a little overwhelmed by the constant barrage of CoronaVirus related news. I’m feeling anxious and isolated and sort of cast adrift as I struggle to figure out how to do my job from home. While I’ve been escaping with live streamed yoga classes, professional Zoom … Continue reading C-ing past Corona →

Staycation 2020 – Crazy things I think of and do when I have too much time on my hands

Binge watch television programs. I demolished Sex Education and am aggressively working me way through Schitt’s Creek.

Randoms – February, 2019

I have absolutely zero feelings regarding whether the roll of toilet paper is supposed to be installed over or under. However, double parked vehicles blocking available legal parking will probably be my trigger if I should ever totally lose my sh*t. I’m at a stage in the aging process where I believe liberally applied moisturizer … Continue reading Randoms – February, 2019 →
