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.

I spent last week commuting to the office every day because the work-folk from Europe were in town. It was a very fun, very productive, very long week. My commute is nearly an hour one way when there's no traffic, so on average it was 2.5-3 hours in the car every day. Also, let's be… Continue reading Choose Your fAngus

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.

This is not a real post because school hasn't ended and things have been just this side of insanely busy for the last howevermany weeks (good Goddess how is it JUNE already? I still have a zillion unintended snapdragons to plant!) and I have three reviews to write. Yes, the run on sentence reflects what's… Continue reading Every Title I’ve Tried for this is Filthy.

Not a Master Task Juggler

Jess2 Comments

Happy Valentine's Day to me, from SK. Contrary to rumors started by my new reading glasses stand, I am still here. I started the new job this week on Wednesday, which turned out to be a massively positive move. I was stressed about the change (because even good change is stressful and requires rejiggering of… Continue reading Not a Master Task Juggler

My writing and resting sabbatical is about to move into the final quarter, and it's been quite the ride so far. I've written a few short stories (most are in the process of submission, which really just means throwing them at various markets until the magic moment when the topic fits what the editors are… Continue reading Bits and Bobs

I finished the family recipe project yesterday and am waiting for a final review by SK (because if I've learned anything as a lifelong writer it's that a person's eyeballs will completely ignore their own stupid grammatical and spelling mistakes in a manuscript). Thankfully, he's MUCH better at Word and PDF formatting than I am,… Continue reading Slash and Burn

The 1935 Marriage Project: Episode 3, Girl Bits

JessLeave a comment

I'm a tad delayed for chapter three's revelations, because we had an unexpected road trip on top of two Horde major school activities ending this week, which required coordination of drop off/pick up across multiple schools for multiple hours in an evening during our days. I don't know why I didn't expect so much of… Continue reading The 1935 Marriage Project: Episode 3, Girl Bits

The 1935 Marriage Manual Project: Episode 2 – Biological Male Bits

JessLeave a comment

TW for peeps: this post includes explicit sexual organ slang and use of a word considered now a slur in a quote from the chapter, which is then discussed from a historical perspective. Please skip this post if necessary. Today's installment of marriage advice from the '30's is first in a double whammy of biology… Continue reading The 1935 Marriage Manual Project: Episode 2 – Biological Male Bits

6 Months: Little Step Day

JessLeave a comment

Yesterday was the half-way mark of my sabbatical. I'm incredibly and, rather unexpectedly, sad about that, to the extent that I made SK watch a ton of Call the Midwife on Netflix over the weekend just so I had good reason to cry off and on. It's going too fast, I haven't finished enough of… Continue reading 6 Months: Little Step Day
