Today I both reached out and accepted others reaching out to me. I wrote lyrics with one of my clients at work. He was shy at first, dissing himself, “I’m not good at this.” I talked to him about how we judge ourselves so readily and how that stops us from expressing our creativity beforeContinue reading “Reach Out and Touch Someone”

Only If We Make It Back
Tonight I want to talk about relapse. Sometimes when you work with other women in recovery you lose one. (Sometimes = often, let’s be real). Relapse is a part of recovery; we are prone to repetition. It is my observation that there are certain never-fails in the relapse department. Of course there’s the trope ofContinue reading “Only If We Make It Back”
Body Fluids
Omg my daughter just puked her fucking guts out, the bedding all twisted up and chunks and chunks, that greasy smear. She didn’t like, puke in one spot. She made multiple deposits—sheets, comforter, one of her plushies. I’m sure you can imagine what I’ve just been through. Note to self: buy gloves. So there’s aContinue reading “Body Fluids”
Ate the Other Half
Is it wrong that I find Lucifer kinda sexy? He’s such a dick, takes pleasure in his dickishness. I think I take pleasure in his pleasure. He’s no Dean though. Ultimately: no contest. My daughter got me a packet of all the necklaces from Supernatural for Xmas. Gonna be rocking a lot of pentagrams. I’mContinue reading “Ate the Other Half”
H.J. Sandwich

Fuuuuuuck. Not long ago in a preparatory mood I’d purchased a pressure gauge to keep in the car because I thinkContinue reading “H.J. Sandwich”
Watching Paint Dry
I had planned to spend most of my day with Sam and Dean (Supernatural, duh) chasing ghosts and being chased by leviathans, but then a mob descended upon the White House. We are living so much history this year. I had that sense at the beginning of Covid: this is history happening. And the hitsContinue reading “Watching Paint Dry”
TV and Me
The day before yesterday I ate meat, just meat, for dinner. I had broiled a hunk of something bloody for my kids when they were here for our days and there was a plate of strips left over. So I sat on my couch watching Supernatural and didn’t even bother to cut. Strips of meat,Continue reading “TV and Me”
Well HELLo
I’m a grown-ass woman with an active inner 15-year-old. I love to read and write. I’m a divorced mother of two. I’m also in recovery, which means that I abstain from drugs and alcohol. I have bipolar 1 disorder and several other mental health issues that impact my life. I hit the jackpot and acquiredContinue reading “Well HELLo”
