I attended a strict "Christian" high school. True to the patriarchal doctrine that's been so ingrained in our society, I couldn't wear shorts that were "too short" by their standards. We did the "fingertip test" for length (giggity). A girl had to have her arms down by her side & if her shorts were shorter …
Modern day Janus
Quick mythology lesson: Janus is the Roman god of beginnings & endings. He has two faces since he's looking at both the past & the future. However, in my situation, I feel like Janus is an appropriate nickname for my boss. Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to drag her name through the mud. …
The downside of being an efficient cleaner
I'm feeling like a failure again. I skipped yoga today. I actually went back to bed & slept for about 3 more hours. I'm absolutely exhausted & worn out. Yes, I slept fine last night. Just hypersomnia again. I've been yawning all day since I got up. I forced myself to take a shower to …

Givers vs Takers
God, I love that quote. Don't you? I was talking to a gorgeous friend of mine this morning, LL. She's one of these lucky few who are beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. 🙂 I told her I felt ignored by certain friends. It seems as if people only need me when …
Turning red
So I'm one of these people who turn crazy red. A lot. I'm not even embarrassed or ashamed. Just the attention on me or laughing or whatever triggers the blushing response in me. It annoys me. But it's nothing compared to every asshole on the planet pointing it out. *side eyes for days* "OMG! Look …
