Out of curiosity, I called today to ask about getting chickens where I live. Since we own less than an acre we need a permit, but it’s free to get the permit. We would be limited to 6 hens, no roosters. It’s tempting, but I’d have to build a coop for them. With the loose […]

That’s the count of wildlife we saw this morning driving around at 2 am near the school where I work. I hit a deer with my Jeep in 2022, 2 weeks to the day after Nick died. Needless to say, I was wide awake after the first 3 deer lol. It’s the end of school, […]

I had to tease my kids by asking why they don’t use skibidi rizz. Basically saying something about low charisma for the gamers out there. My 20 yo daughter looked at me and said ‘that’s cringe’. I just laughed at her. I don’t hear a lot of slang at the school where I work. I […]

At work, I alternate between the libraries in the high school and the middle school. On Tuesday, one of the 6th grade kids lost his life. I was at the middle school on Wednesday, and it was rough. They used the library for counseling. On top of it bringing back my memories of Nick’s death, […]

I just finished reading this book by Eric Larson. It is about the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, and about H. H. Holmes aka Herman Mudgett. One of the most prolific serial killers. It’s a well written book. It talks about the work that Daniel Burnham put into getting the World’s Fair ready in less […]

Since my last post was a downer, here’s a funny for you. Maybe I’ve just been a web designer too long. LOL

Tomorrow (or later today) will be hard. I know know that now, but I’ve still been shoving my feelings down this week. Two years ago, on September 1, 2022, I received one of the worst phone calls a parent could get. My bonus son committed suicide. I hadn’t talked to him about anything major in […]

I was talking to someone today and remembered something I forgot long ago. Before I got married the first time, before I got pregnant with my oldest, I signed up for a college course about the history of the Middle ages. I don’t even remember the name of the class now. What I do remember […]

I was looking at a post on a Vermont page on Facebook. Someone was asking about a Pride event going on. The hate on that post shocked me. I guess that’s why I tend to try to avoid looking at anything other than posts from my friends. One of the people said something about a […]

A friend showed me this today, and I had to laugh. It just fits so much of what you see online. I’m still struggling with journaling every day. I’m going to keep trying for now. I need to get some of these thoughts out of my head because my emotions feel heavy when I don’t. […]
