I have become way too invested in avian real estate in my backyard and my views towards house sparrows is becoming increasingly problematic.

I am sitting outside watching this mockingbird wreak havoc on just about every other bird in the neighborhood. It leaves the little birds alone but has no problem starting fights with everyone else. I respect that.

At my kid's band concert last night, two boys played Black Sabbath during the intermission. It was like watching the real life version of "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton."

She just wanted him to be happy. This is not how she imagined that going. #questpit #Q #A #U
Old man with young woman. A Lesson in Pain Management.  Willow has never said no to anyone in her life. So when her grandfather needs help running a nursing home drug ring, she says yes. Falling for the strait-laced administrator was a mistake. The felony charges might be worse.

Chronic people-pleaser Willow would do anything to reconnect with Pop. He knows an easy mark when he sees one. What starts as sneaking contraband into his nursing home escalates quickly and this time she won’t be able to smile her way out of a felony charge. #questpit #Q #A #U
Photos of Grandfather smoking and adult daughter drawing. A Lesson in Pain Management. A chronic people pleaser. A grandfather with no moral compass. A nursing home drug ring

First day of summer vacation for the kids. First day of trying to figure out how I'm going to get my writing done.

Gandalf and Sauroman walking and talking with Sauroman saying,"Elves and Men started this war, we will sit down with Sauron and discuss which rare earth metal reserves and pieces of the Shire he would like in return for peace.

WHICH ISILDUR NEVER EVEN TRIED, BY THE

I don't understand how you can take rights away from people and still feel like you're headed in the right direction. Makes me so angry.

Can you imagine being the type of person who buys The Washington Post because you want to know what Jeff Bezos thinks? What a dork.

Things are scary and most times it takes a great deal of effort to keep myself from feeling hopeless. But today the snow geese have returned as they do every year and I think there is a kernel of hope that can be found there.

It's so disappointing to watch GenX slide into their boomer era. As an elder millennial, it's also a little frightening.

I work in my basement and it’s freezing down there so I crocheted some fingerless gloves. Ignore my peasant hands please.

My therapist said I should write my thoughts on paper with a sharpie. It’s like she wants me to look mentally ill.

You know what I hate about myself? I don't care about Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds or Justin Baldoni, but that didn't stop me spending a stupid amount of time reading through all their texts.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

It was weird to see Bianca Censori at the Grammys dressed like that because I can’t tell you how many times I have had dreams like that. Like I’m naked and everyone’s dressed and I’m just trying to convince everyone it’s totally normal.

I know that February is the shortest month of the year but I’m really afraid that it’s going to be longer than January this year…and January was like 57 weeks long.

Look, I’m grateful for the massage but afterwards I didn’t need to go to the grocery store dazed, with pillow creases on my face and run into people I haven’t see in over a decade.

The kid spilled nail polish on her favorite hoodie and was really upset. Fortunately I had just enough embroidery skills to fix the problem.

I can't stand when I change something in my writing, spend ages working on it, and then realize it was better the way it was originally.

Sometimes when I'm describing a person's facial features in my writing, I find myself making the faces. It's probably pretty ridiculous looking when I do it. Anyway, the guy who just walked into the library caught me doing it and I'm pretty sure he is laughing at me. Or he thinks I'm crazy.

After a disappointing querying season, I'm throwing myself back into my work and trying to ignore the person in my head that is damn sure I'm not good enough. Also...whisky.
