I sent a draft of a man’s chapter of my work in progress to them back in December. A draft of how I felt I needed to express my feelings after our break up. Well. Today, he read the chapter. I had deleted his number. Email. Everything. Apparently. He reached out in January but IContinue reading “Old face emerges.”

The N Word
Over the years as a teacher, I’ve had “The Talk” with kids of all backgrounds and different grades from 3rd grade to 8th grade about the N word. To be clear, just as I am with my students, the first N word is the word nigger. The second N word is the word Nigga. FirstContinue reading “The N Word”
Thelma & Louise
Friendships blossom in different ways. Season. Reason. Lifetime. That’s the saying. I make all kinds of friends. Most of them last a lifetime. Many of my friendships go but we pick up after long periods of time without talking and rejoice at a text or a phone call out of the blue. Maybe even aContinue reading “Thelma & Louise”
Dog Tried to Kill Me
After staying up all night with a successful party under the hat we retired in the morning light to bed after a sunrise fire. We had a discussion about the behavior of a friend of mine and how it made him feel uncomfortable with her feelings toward me. I’m naive. I cried a little. HeContinue reading “Dog Tried to Kill Me”
Ate Shit
So I fall all the time. I usually contain that situation to my home. Sometimes that involves drinking but most times it involves just walking and chewing gum. This week I ate shit in the quad in front of students during passing period. I was wearing a heeled boot. I thought the boot felt weirdContinue reading “Ate Shit”
My Big Feelings
I’ve always felt emotions deeper than I feel the “normal” person does. I cry more quickly. I used to be fast to anger. But mostly I have always loved with a deep passion that can either make or break a person. It can also make or break me. Love is what’s on my mind. IContinue reading “My Big Feelings”
Cobra Kai
Rick Just finished watching cobra Kai. I think you would have given it a dog and a half. I give it two dogs. Maybe you would have given it two dogs. I don’t know. All I know is that you missed it. No more Johnny. No more hating on Sam. No more cheering on fightContinue reading “Cobra Kai”
Spoke Way Too Soon…
I knew better than to put in writing anything positive about my love life. It would just jinx it. And so…. Yeah. Pretty sure there’s no boyfriend. Ugh… Fucking just……. UGH!!!
New boyfriend
I haven’t had a so called “boyfriend” in years. But Tom has stated that he wants to be my boyfriend and me to be his girlfriend. I don’t know what all that entails other than no extra side pieces which I have cut off. I write this as he snores in my bed. After aContinue reading “New boyfriend”
Rick
I lost my best friend. The pain has been excruciating. I haven’t felt grief like this since my brother died. The depth of my sorrow washed over me. I have been inconsolable. I questioned the universe, my faith, the meaning of life…my life. I immediately began to self-medicate to dull the agony in my heart.Continue reading “Rick”
