    Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 56

    1. Being an introvert can be hard…(I’m an introvert, in case anyone didn’t know). Being an introvert can feel like you’re constantly trying to be more extroverted. Constantly pushing yourself to be more sociable, and constantly brushing up on your people skills. We usually don’t talk about the benefits of being an introvert. Only the…

    May and April Wrap Up: in which I return from the ends of the earth

    Ok wow. Just wow. I mean I’m not really sure why I’m saying wow but just wow. (I’m saying “wow” because I missed April’s wrap up post, and actually missed a heck of a lot of posts in both April AND May and also it’s June???? We’re halfway through the YEAR????) It’s June. Let’s just…

    Saturday Morning Post ,Vol. 55

    1. Good morning. I’m sitting in my car eating an early lunch, trying not to spill juice from my fruit cup (which was preceded by string cheese because I eat like a child). Even though it’s not June 20st, it’s summer. I’m glad it’s summer. But a couple months ago I was having really mixed…

    um….I got published?!!??

    (Yes, yes I know I said that I was getting back on a regular blogging schedule. And yes, I realize I did not post on Saturday. But that was because I had a performance on Friday (all day sort of thing), which is when I usually write my Saturday blogs. So really I just picked…

    not creating can be draining too

    Hello all. My attempt to get back into a regular blogging schedule did not….go exactly how I wanted it to. But!! I got my first Covid vaccine last week so that’s cool. And I didn’t grow an extra head or anything. It’s May, but here in Ohio it’s still freaking cold (ok, ok, ok. It’s…

    If something can go wrong, it should go wrong (like in fiction. Not real life. Please not real life)

    (When was the last time I did a post on Wednesday? I have no idea, yet here we are. Welcome back) “If something can go wrong, it will go wrong.” Murphy’s law. An old military saying. Whatever you like to think of it as. Along similar lines, I would like to create a new saying;…

    Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 54

    1. This week has been uh….WEIRD. SO WEIRD. We got like a snowstorm, some power outages, seasonal allergies (nature hates me), I’ve taken a nap like every day this week…..It’s been rough. Long story short, I ended up feeling sick from allergies coupled with a sudden plunge in temperature (outside temperature. I did not turn…

    Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 53

    (First off yes, I did fail to post on Wednesday, and have been absent for a few weeks from the blogging world in general. I could chop it up to “life”, an existential crisis, or the fact that Target was out of my favorite trail mix. What my absence really is about is this: some…

    1. I am once more sitting at the lake (yes, in my car). It’s warm this time, and the lake is very blue, though it admittedly looks a lot more turquoise through my sunglasses. (Do you ever take your sunglasses off and are suddenly disappointed at the actual color of everything? Like excuse me, someone…
