Okay, so I’ll admit it. My OCD/type A/anxiety whatever had taken pretty full control of that last blog post. I was feeling extremely pressured (by only me, myself, and I) to keep training for the marathon no matter what. It took a case of “extreme tendonitis” for God to slow my roll (literally, thank you [...]

Today, I start running. To train for a marathon. On February 16th, 2020. I have a long and sordid history with running. Mostly, I haven’t liked it. And when I have, it’s been for all the wrong reasons. I like to play sports. Kickball. Softball. Bowling. Ones that require a small amount of running and [...]

Let’s be real. Most days I’m totally winging it with you. (So is Daddy.) I have no idea what I’m doing, since I didn’t have siblings and never babysat for a human growing up. In fact, I actively avoided being around children. While I may not know what I’m doing, I go full throttle with [...]

Mad respect from this blogger if you know the pop culture reference of my blog post title. Today, I broke academic advising law. I misadvised a student. Well, technically I broke the law back in April but I found out today. I have been advising students since 2004, FIFTEEN YEARS, and I think I have [...]

I thought I already knew that, but apparently I needed to learn it all over again. I have a really hard time taking up space, both literal and figurative, in this world. I try not to talk about myself very much, and if I do, I talk fast. I move my grocery cart to the [...]
