You are not alone in this dystopia.

JessLeave a comment

The last few months have been terrifying in the US for many as policies, rhetoric, and even legislation has highlighted an underlying racist and misogynist agenda by those currently in power. It's disheartening. It's scary as hell. It's hard to focus on other things (like writing and blogging and such) while trying to get through… Continue reading You are not alone in this dystopia.

Maycember is finally over…I’m tired and I don’t remember what day it is.

Graduation activities for the eldest Horde member are all done (his grad party was last weekend). I checked in with my European co-workers today: no, they don't seem to do grad parties in the UK the way we do here. Not surprising: Americans are consistently weird. I mean, the whole point of a graduation party… Continue reading Maycember is finally over…I’m tired and I don’t remember what day it is.

Yesterday I did an interview for Defying Shadows on a podcast (details to come when it's available later this month). I was nervous as hell, and it was really fun. 10/10 experience, would definitely do again anytime. Today I got an email through the blog asking a bunch of questions about me and my author… Continue reading New Author Moments

Sunday…Resting?

fAngus approved this post. I'm back to work full time as of last week (although only because I don't have to sit in an office chair full time. I tried that for two of my eight hour days and paid dearly for the rest of the week). Yesterday was a full day of show choir… Continue reading Sunday…Resting?

Round 2? Fall 2024 is a Sh*tshow.

Jess2 Comments

A week ago, SK and I took the horde to Disney World as a way to honor his mom and make memories. It was amazing and exhausting. First time flights were had, boundaries were stretched, new foods tried, rides were ridden, shops were shopped, and ultimately feet were tired out. I averaged twelve thousand steps… Continue reading Round 2? Fall 2024 is a Sh*tshow.

Of Owls and Squirrels and Dogs

I'm a touch melancholy today. It's the 7th anniversary of Chewy's last day, so a bunch of pictures and the post I wrote a year later popped up in my memories https://jessicasettergren.com/2018/10/03/pets-not-for-the-faint-hearted/ which got me teary-eyed. He was a good boy, with a big strong warrior's heart, and I miss him extra today. None of… Continue reading Of Owls and Squirrels and Dogs

SEPTEMBER!! The mad dash in sweltering heat of summer is over, finally. I know lots of peeps love summer, and I do love the lush overgrown-ness of all the green and the buzzing insects and dark woods, but I wilt in the heat. Give me crispy leaves and frost, please. The horde is taking this… Continue reading IT’S FINALLY HERE! I mean…OH HEY kids go back to school.

I'm writing this at the cabin (yay) with a raging headache caused by my own stubborn experimentation* (ugh). Please forgive the general erratic-ness and worse than usual grammar. There is neither rhyme nor reason to anything in this post: it's full of random mess. I'm not sure how summer is half over already, but here… Continue reading Snippets

Just…Dogs and Dogs Adjacent.

Yesterday was 70 degrees, so I took my laptop on the deck and found this goober on my chair. Please note how she refuses to look AT me, because I'm telling her to get the hell off my spot so I can work. FYI, there's a second chair she could've used. It’s a running joke… Continue reading Just…Dogs and Dogs Adjacent.

SK has been working with his siblings to clean out the house they grew up in for a while now. Some treasures discovered and distributed between the family members to be cherished memories of their parents, many non-essentials either donated to charity or tossed as appropriate. It's a long process, going through a house a… Continue reading Surprise Horde Art
