These girls jump like video game characters and eat all my plants, including banana trees. Jungle birds.

Mini bundt cakes for the band bake sale: funfetti and pumpkin spice! I’m no baker (hateee messes), but I’m eager to support my boys’ activities.

Perusing this chapbook by @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social in the car during my son’s bass clarinet lesson! I remember when I first read the title story, “Stitch.” Just as powerful with a second reading.

An especially impactful piece for me today. Grief finds me most often driving in the car since that is what my sister and I did together.

My CNF flash piece on the loss of my sister is featured on JMWW today. I hope these words resonate and can raise awareness about DV.

I received my sister’s autopsy report yesterday. My sister’s autopsy… She endured more abuse and violence than I realized. Devastated I couldn’t save her. Earlier this week, we selected the winner of her memorial scholarship: $3k to an aspiring nurse. Be the light in darkness.

I was holding this peep close when she hopped up on my shoulder. (Doesn’t the red glow from the heat lamp look like some portal to hell ripped open my spare bedroom? There’s a story right there.)

My sister’s memorial scholarship application is live! Open to HS seniors in Chesapeake, VA who are future nurses! Applicants will compose an essay on domestic abuse. Chelse was a DV victim. She died by gunshot wound in the middle of her forehead on 11/2/25.

“In them, he’s smiling. Carefree. Like his whole life’s ahead of him, not behind. And he’s looking forward to living that life.” This beautiful CNF piece hits close to home with the recent loss of my sister.

When you’re mourning, everyone looks at you like you’re a reptile person. I don’t know how to be anything else. I would really like to go be a reptile in a secluded cabin. Or maybe a salamander.

While writing a story this week, I intended to give a woman a pet skunk. I think I gave her a mental breakdown instead. Oh well. The skunk will go to another character another day.

Dozens searched for a missing 2-year-old in the Arizona desert. Buford the dog was the real hero.

Things people without chronic pain might not understand: When I get low on my migraine abortive med (insurance only covers 8 pills a month), I sometimes suck on a mint to trick my body into thinking I’m taking medicine (the med is mint-flavored) to get it to heal itself. Never works.

I resisted this for years and scoffed at the idea; however, I have come to terms with the reality in my middle age that I do indeed need to purchase a label maker.
