Earliest Memories and I See Dead People

I was walking with Mike through a forest preserve a few weeks ago, and the walk triggered my first ever memory. We were walking on a path. The sun's position, the color of the sky, the trees, and the smell of the air. Everything together reminded me of a specific location.

Screw It, I’m Eating Tater Tots, Episode 25 (My 50th. Again.)

I love stock photography. A woman whimsically laying in bed while wearing a party hat and laughing at a donut. I get that this is for a photo op, but what if it isn't? What if this is her life? Guess what? IT'S BIRTHDAY MONTH. This episode is jam-packed. Like I like my men. That… Continue reading Screw It, I’m Eating Tater Tots, Episode 25 (My 50th. Again.)

I had a panic attack last week while waiting for insurance to approve a prescription for my three-month preventative medication, which I've been taking since June. I was concerned that I wouldn't receive the medication in time, and the prospect… Continue reading Podcast Episode Five- Guest Star and Real Talk about Migraines & Anxiety

100 Drops of Gratitude

The past few weeks I've felt like I've had to drag myself around everywhere I go. Like a cartoon figure who unfolds themselves out of bed onto the floor, down the hall, and onto the couch each day. I can't motivate my teenager to homeschool most days, I can barely motivate myself to get in… Continue reading 100 Drops of Gratitude
