With the number of texts I receive every day from James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa asking for money, you’d think we were related. (Actually, no, my family knows better than to ask me for $.)

Congrats to everyone who passed the Texas Bar (including our associate)!!! To those who did not pass this time, remember this does not define you. You’ll get it next time!

Tried to help a little stray dog this morning, but he evaded me and now I’m going to be worrying about him all day

“That was a fun concert!” Me, as I am doing my bedtime skincare, sipping my herbal tea, popping Tylenol and putting diclofenac on my sore knee. Going to a concert in your 50s hits different

It’s been so long since we’ve had a dreary rainy day that all i want to do is curl up on the sofa with a blanket, a cup of hot tea, and a good book. Alas, there are hours to bill, briefs to write and calls to take.

My lupus has been stable for years and my new rheumy asked me to step down from 3mg to 2 mg of prednisone. I did it! It doesn’t sound like much but it’s huge.

To prepare for my upcoming cataract surgery i have to switch to monovision soft contacts for several month which means i need progressive readers in order to work or really see clearly closeup. Going to have some fun buying new frames. These that i picked up at CVS alas are not cute on me

Went to a Dallas Women Lawyers mahj event tonight and found someone who plays the same version i do. We taught 2 others to play and we converted them away from that card. American mahjong is unnecessarily complicated

Dear dogs, Hubs is not here right now. You have his entire half of the bed to sleep on. So why must you both insist on lying right next to me?

Maybe I’m old fashioned but i would never wear this to court if I’m appearing before the judge. Look, I wear jeans and sneakers most days in the office. But if I’m before the court, I’m wearing a jacket. nypost.com/2026/09/23/u...

Every once in a while one of my lupus meds (my methotrexate shot) decides to kick my a$$. Today is that day. Nausea and brain fog is a really sucky combo when you have work to do.

Watching Supergirl. This is how i imagine the writers’ meeting: Okay. The 2 heroines bond over childhood trauma. Interesting. Then we shoot the dog. Wait. What? Now add child sex trafficking. Um. And hear me out … Jason Mamoa. What a dumpster fire of a movie.

Ever been in a fight with your dog? No? Just me. Olive was intentionally disobedient towards me just now so I’m not speaking to her at the moment.

The mediator’s office I’m in today is 80s TV famous (it’s the home of Ewing Oil). I forget that most times I’m here but when the middle aged tourists in Cowboys tshirts are taking pictures …

One year ago yesterday, Hubs lost his lower left leg to osteomyelitis. The days and months that followed were rough for the both of us. Things will never be the same but they are finally feeling more normal.

Hubs’ cousin called him up yesterday asking for advice on how to get through this. Hubs did the best he could then hung up the phone and just broke. 💔 Going to be praying hard for them.

So after a couple of glasses of wine, I signed up our hot mess of a house up for our historic society’s wine walk in April. It’s all Hubs’ fault. He left early and i was left unsupervised.

Hubs’ cousin lost his teenaged son in a motorcycle accident this week. The family is planning 3 days worth of services. Next to losing your boy, i cant imagine anything worse.

I was, of course, thinking about 9/11 this am on my drive to work. Do you all remember how quiet that day and the weeks that followed were? We were all just in stunned silence, glued to our TVs and radios, a lot of us lost internet for weeks, and there no planes in the air. Just so quiet.

I’m at the point in my drafting of this MSJ response that I’m actually believing my own BS. At least that makes the late night work sess bearable.

I mediated a really contentious case i have against on of my besties today. Mediator was ready to call and impasse. We decided we were not going to let that happen. So we thought outside the box, told the mediator weve got this and got it done. 💪

My new office lighting is 💩💩 as are my eyes. If I’m drafting all day, my vision is so bad by the time i get home. The much younger attorney who apparently had the office before me apparently always worked with the lights off. I could never.
