The care is in the “how”…mango lassi “margaritas” The last of the backed-up posts… … Story stuff. Musing on assholes. Might be triggery re: assholes. I have a bit in the WIP coming up where I have a character of questionable morals (but clear ethics) facing off against a respected member of the community, one […]

Showmen’s Museum, Riverview FL…finished Killing Critical Voice class…releasing the past Another backed-up post… … I need to get my head on straight, so I’m typing out the stuff that’s clogging me up.

Lately I’ve been working on yoga stuff to get me toward being able to do handstands. One move, Crow Pose, has been in particular kicking my

Adventures in hair…social media “tables” Ray and I crossed Tampa Bay and went to downtown St. Pete yesterday for hairdos, food, and a walk along the beach out by the Pier. It was a lovely day. I got my hair dyed teal! I was just trying to get my gray dyed, but Katelyn kindly explained

Anxiety attack…failure…stuck in one’s head Ugh. I’m sitting with an anxiety attack and it’s unpleasant. My usual tricks seem to be making things worse, BUT I’m not actually losing my shit, so I’m going to try writing through it and read it again later. Yesterday morning I did well and got a lot done.
