But I do like tea…
What is good about having a pet? The question immediately takes my thoughts to the outrageous vet bills, the pet insurance that jumped 70% in premium, the dog food that doubled in price during transportation issues caused by covid – but of course never came back down. The dark spots on all my rugs and the places where the wood…

Bike Lane
A girl rode her bike on the sidewalk, staring at her phone. There was a bike lane. There was a horn. Lessons were learned.

It Wasn’t Aliens
I’m not the kind to freak out in a crisis, I’m probably too calm. If I happen to be asleep, I’m so completely irrational you should just leave me for dead. Sometime in the wee hours things happened. Boyfriend lives a block over and he said he heard electrical buzzing and saw flashes of light. I assume Maybe witnessed the…

Dog People
This was how my face looked last Thursday. Boyfriend and I hustled around the grocery store after work to get a handful of items and got to a checkout line with no wait.

It is kind of understandable; you go about your average day; a car honk here and…

A walk in the park
I have two dogs. They are so completely different from one another; it feels like three. Brick doesn’t like kids and I can’t blame him. Think about it from a dog’s perspective; they smell funny, if they’ve a full diaper they smell gross, they’re often sticky, they’re wobbly, they’re prone to loud unexplained outbursts. Kinda like a hairless raccoon in…

You dropped something
I go home for lunch every day. For the last couple weeks I’ve been driving like a psychopath. I’m so fed up with the wall-to-wall trucks, the girl doing her make up, the guy playing video games, the tesla’s that just make their own rules. The best defense is a good offense so, pedal to the metal! As is the…
