I like to post things on Facebook that I find helpful or that I think other people will find helpful. I've been doing it all week and apparently other people have noticed. I've been added to not one, but two East Texas Covid-19 Help and Support Groups (not their actual names, mind you). So I … Continue reading More groups!
Category: My Own Personal Weirdness
St. Patrick’s Day, social distancing version
Today has been weird, y'all. Super weird. My Tyler Critique Group canceled their meeting, which I'd expected, as all four of us have immune system issues or family members that do. Nick's workplace said they'd let anyone with immunocompromised family members start working from home. The kids and I set up a desk area for … Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day, social distancing version
Pneumonia and other disasters
My youngest has pneumonia -- they diagnosed it on Monday. My family of five had four dentist appointments and one doctor's visit scheduled this week even before that happened. We've been to the doctor every afternoon this week besides that. I still made it to a critique group on Tuesday and led a lesson on … Continue reading Pneumonia and other disasters
Site updates
I'm working on bringing a more professional look to my website as I transition from a more family style blog site to an author website. Most of the blog content will remain the same: meanderings on life, family news, burbling about books I've read or places I've been, writing or crafting thoughts. But the main … Continue reading Site updates
Nano Struggles
I'm really struggling with Nanowrimo this year. I have zero energy, very little in the way of time for writing, and since I spent time working on writing classwork instead of planning this years nano novel, every time I sit down to write, I instead end up spending 3/4 of the time working on background … Continue reading Nano Struggles

TPL Writer’s Group Halloween
Here’s how me and my friend Elizabeth dressed up for our Tyler Public Library Writer’s Class Halloween meeting. We went to the coffee house like this first and people were amused. Only one other person at the group dressed up, but we got candy and read spooky stories that we wrote. 🙂
British Houses
Does anyone else watch perhaps too many British shows and movies and then, seeing houses you recognize from other things, feel at once comforted by them, but then a little later disconcerted because they didn't actually use that particular houses inside for the inside scenes? Is it just me?
Whining
The problem with being sick when your mom has died is that you have no one to call when you just want to whine about it and have someone tell you that "you should check the color of your tongue and take mucinex, why do you hate mucinex? Oh hey, did I tell you about … Continue reading Whining
Nurturing Oneself
I had an early brunch with a dear, dear friend of mine this morning. As we sat in her sweet little breakfast nook with tea, boiled eggs, and stollen, we chatted about how the year was going and she asked me what I was doing to nurture myself. Honestly y'all, I babbled out an answer … Continue reading Nurturing Oneself
