I mentioned last week that I spent some time admiring my latest crystal haul while I waited for Luna and Zeph to come home, and I mentioned that I would talk more about that this week? Well now it's this week, and it's time to explain all of that! Do you remember how the whole… Continue reading Calming, Crystal-Clear Clarity
Oof. This is a tough one. A really tough one. There have been so many things that have come up for me that are really uncomfortable throughout Zephyr's and my relationship. The biggest thing by far, though, is trust. I mean, I've said more than once that I'm still not 100% sure that he won't… Continue reading Trusting a Man
Boy Howdy! We're back! I guess if you read the first post and saw its title, you saw this coming eventually. But in real life, when I wrote Part I, I had no idea there was going to be a Part II. (If you haven't read Part I, take a few minutes to get caught… Continue reading The Experiment – Part II
Luna turned 5 years old recently, and I can hardly believe it. And Matt is 9 now. I began to be a mother to him when he was only 2, so I've been on this journey of motherhood for 7 years now. Seven whirlwind years of bursting joy, the deepest pain, excitement, sadness, boundless love,… Continue reading 7 Years of …
My relationships are...complicated, to say the least. But I think that's probably true for a lot of people. Humans have a lot of feelings, and sometimes those feelings get in the way of each other. We have motivators that conflict with our morals, morals that conflict with our needs, and emotions that conflict with literally… Continue reading It’s Complicated…
There's a scene in a movie or TV show that I've never seen that my dad finds hilarious. Apparently a guy is on a road trip and ends up getting stranded in a small town in Kentucky. He gets to a convenience store or a diner, someplace local, and calls someone to help him. When… Continue reading Butt Crack, Kentucky
I've never talked about my career before. I've mentioned it in other stories I've told, but I haven't ever really talked about it. My work involves working with high level executives, and I've been doing this for about 5 years. In 2021, I had to go back to work after having stayed home with Luna… Continue reading Unhealthy AI Obsession
Wow has there been some heavy shit lately. Today, I'm switching it up with one of my favorite books/TV shows of all time, the aptly named Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett. If you've never read it or seen it, I highly, highly, highly recommend that you get a copy and read… Continue reading Good Omens
I have never had a kitchen all to myself. Ever. I've always lived with my parents or with a significant other. But here I am now with a kitchen of my own, no one to have to share it with. I can have the pots and pans I want, the utensils and knives I like,… Continue reading A Kitchen of My Own!
I don't know where to start with this one. This is a delicate topic, one which I have mixed feelings about. It's messy, like most things are in my life. And probably yours too. Being human is messy. I'm stalling. Let me tell you who Donna is. Donna is how Dmitry identifies now. I don't… Continue reading Donna
