reflecting on various topics
Hello, I thought I would provide an update. The “family emergency” I referenced ended up being something much, much worse than I anticipated or could have imagined. A few months ago, I learned that my husband is divorcing me. I’m heartbroken, and still in denial. I never thought that this was how life would go. …
Last night, I opened the door, as one might, to bring something inside that was outside. And my cat Atticus, as cats…. sometimes do decided that the moment had come for his great escape. He snuck out lithely and sheepishly, as if he might only go for a short few feet, and I finished bringing …
(disclaimer that I actually am deeply obsessed with this album and adore it and it was formational for me, and I listen to certain songs from it all the time. this song just made me think) I was listening to “This is Your Life” on The Beautiful Letdown and thinking about how Switchfoot was singing …

Also this morning the school called me and said that there is a huge latex balloon garland that some parents brought at school for graduation, despite the fact …
Last night I stayed up late playing Yahoo! Games, which was honestly a bit underwhelming but was also nostalgic. I miss the days when you could play multiplayer games there. Battleship was such a classic. “You hit Flipper!” “You couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn.” Never been trash-talked that well by a computer with …
Today was basically figuring out a vet appt for Atticus, some dishes and laundry, and then movie night with turkey sandwiches/ leftover spaghetti and popcorn. We watched The Aristocats. You know what? That is such a fun movie. I love that movie! It always weirded me out a tiny bit as a kid, in parts, …
