Life, after 35
Life is hard, isn’t it? After more than 35 years, I still feel like a child in this world: babbling through each day and trying not to cry. Finding an excuse to cry can be difficult, or the time. Every day, I go to work (late) and come home, cook, feed the babies, watch my…

Result
It is the end result that counts. Alexey Brodovitch I am trying to sell my house and the process of it is stressful. Duh. A lot of people have had this experience and if you ask them about it, I bet most of them can only remember if the house was sold at a desired…

Shower
When was the last time that you took a shower? No, I mean really taking a shower and just taking a shower. Not standing in the water reminiscing on some arguments you had with your high school boyfriend; or judging your belly fat because the half bag of Doritos you inhaled last night is still…

Therapy Tech
This was our 3rd therapy session via video conferencing since the social distancing rule put everyone behind doors. Honestly, there is not much difference to me whether to see Jen sitting on the couch across from me or behind a screen. Other than the occasional lagging in her voice or sudden disappearance of her face,…
