It's been a while. Haven't written anything in I-don't-know-how-long. Stress has been doing its best to drown me, which has unfortunately become more and more common of late. When I get stressed I tend to shut down all non-essential activities. This includes writing. I've been working on stress-management techniques and long-term solutions, and yeah, it's … Continue reading It’s been a while

Quilters, part 2 – Rehearsals
Apologies - I'm aware that it's been about a month since this show closed, but due to life/work/health issues I wasn't able to get things written down as quickly as I would have liked. At this point, I'm writing these stories for my own amusement rather than to keep people informed of current events, but … Continue reading Quilters, part 2 – Rehearsals

I did my best to shorten it, but it just didn't work out, there was … Continue reading Quilters, part 1 (Beginnings)

I’m Back (Again)
I feel like it's been ages since I've written anything here, but looking back, it's only been about a month; I guess my perception of time gets warped sometimes. For the past several months I have been involved with my theater group, putting on a spring musical. This is something that I haven't done since … Continue reading I’m Back (Again)
I Should Know By Now…
The other day was one of those days where I was just done before my NICU shift even started. Even though I knew my two babies very well, I was frustrated because they were both going to be a hot mess, and I wanted no part of it. Going into anything with that kind of … Continue reading I Should Know By Now…
