Holy hell, y’all. I am one festering sickie. What began as an annoying sickness last weekend has taken not one, not two, not even three or four days to erupt — but a whopping five days before this bug decided to come out and really shows its true colors. Day five was yesterday, and sleeping […]
I thought it was a joke when I first heard about, but I am officially a victim of smartphone hand. I’d been a faithful Blackberry user for years, until I began working at my most recent job. Enter: the iPhone. Fast-forward a year, and the way in which I’ve been holding it — not to […]
I know it’s been a tiring week when my goals for an evening include only hydrating and seeing how early I can hit the hay. For the record, I’ve managed to get my 64 ounces of water in, and I’m on track to crawl under the covers an hour before I normally do. Score. True […]
What a week. I spent Monday in tears at the thought of having to put down my new rescue, Tucker. Red, puffy eyes gave way to a pounding headache that afternoon. At the vet that evening, I took goodbye photos of my brave, young little kitty. I was certain we were at the end. But […]
As I listened to a news report about a nation’s icon in critical condition and a country rallying around him on the streets below, it struck me how varied life support can be.

Have you ever stared at someone because they reminded you of someone you’ve lost? It’s as though the person was there, in the flesh, ready and eager to say the things they didn’t have a chance to say before their passing. I was driving home from work the other day and found myself staring at […]
A year and a half ago, I had surgery on my right knee. It no longer hurts when I do simple things that, years ago, I used to take for granted, but it’s also not like it was. It has its moments where it will have a temper tantrum, be in a mood or just […]
While I was sitting in a meeting yesterday, 15 floors above the street below, I looked out across the traffic and surrounding neighborhoods. The trees which dotted the landscape looked like a forest of broccoli florets and, at that second, I realized how ravenous I was. I’m on day two of Operation: Fair-Weather Vegan — […]
I pulled a muscle in my back last night trying to get into a Spanx bodyslimmer. A few months ago, I ordered a bridesmaid dress after trying on the store sample. The sample fit, so I ordered accordingly. Turns out the sample was stretched out, therefore the dress I ordered was too tight. “No problem,” […]
