Last week, I got an alert that a WordPress update had failed on this blog space. When I went to fix it, I was shocked to see that I hadn’t written anything in almost 3 years. The last life update was when The Mister and I moved 5 years ago, which is poetic since we …

A not-calm year so far
When I sat down to write my surgiversary update, I realized it had been over six months since my last post. I had planned at the first of the year to start posting updates at least weekly, if not more often. The best laid plans, and all that. Spoonie life makes it hard to juggle …

I finished the last assignment for my last course of the summer semester in my graduate program. I struggled with letting it go and calling it done, because I knew I could have done better. I’d met most of the requirements for the assignment, a certain number of posts to a discussion group, but hadn’t …
