It’s been a stressful couple of weeks around these parts as Florida caseloads keep climbing. There’s new software for work we’re trying to figure out, the dog keeps scratching at a spot on her face so she’s back in the cone, and we’ve been trying to figure out what to do for the kid’s schoolingContinue reading “stress relief in the soft apocalypse”

Woulou, part 2
Not raising money this time, just putting a story into the world. Hope you enjoy. Part One is here. After that, I was ready to sell my car to clear out the jungle in the back corner of the yard. Of course, it wouldn’t be that easy because the plants themselves weren’t on our sideContinue reading “Woulou, part 2”
Woulou, part 1
Not raising money this time, just sending a story out into the world. Hope you enjoy. When my son, Morgan, was seven, we moved into a new house. I couldn’t afford to buy a house, but there was a rental available in a pretty nice neighborhood for a ridiculously low price. You know where thisContinue reading “Woulou, part 1”
well, i’m still quarantined blogging: hi!
Been a bit, yeah? I’m living in a hotspot, y’all, and I am hiding in my house as much as I possibly can because yoiks. We got neighbors in front and behind us in their 20s having house parties, which I hate anyway because I am old and like the quiet and hate humans, butContinue reading “well, i’m still quarantined blogging: hi!”
quarantine blogging
I was working on a huge thing about self-quarantining, but I realized my feelings on people staying home and people going out and states reopening and blah blah blah all boil down to … you know what, don’t spit on other people, okay? Literally or metaphorically. Even without a pandemic. (Okay, yes, some people deserveContinue reading “quarantine blogging”
quarantine blogging: in which i rant about animal crossing
Or maybe not rant, per se. I am building a second floor on my palatial three-room estate up in the cliffs of our island, overlooking the water. I have begun an experimental flower bed for cross-breeding; I have a little hill where I plant all the extras of everything and see what happens (what happensContinue reading “quarantine blogging: in which i rant about animal crossing”
quarantine blogging: drawing stuff
I started keeping a paper journal again in January after I took Fran Wilde’s Journaling for Creativity class over at the Rambo Academy (there are some really good workshops over there, and Cat Rambo has scholarships available). I wanted to do something messy and scrapbook-ish (somewhere to put the stickers I accumulate and never wantContinue reading “quarantine blogging: drawing stuff”
quarantine blogging: another poem
Another poem from the IG reading … This one came about because our friend Ulrica messaged me about sending Scott a care package from Sweden, and she said, “The world as we know it is gone. Some of us understand that already, others need more time for it to sink in … So let’s justContinue reading “quarantine blogging: another poem”
quarantine blogging: bad head space Saturday
cw: uncertainty, anxiety, depression, talk of death–but my family and I are all healthy, so if you need to not read, you don’t need to worry on that account. It is a bad day in Laura’s brain. One of those days of wondering will I catch this thing? If I do, will I die? Continue reading “quarantine blogging: bad head space Saturday”
quarantine blogging: the days all blend together
It’s Year 129578394687 of Quarantine, and man am I sick of Zoom. Some positive notes: I managed to trim my hair so that it is not driving me insane. I also started using the flat iron in the morning because I seriously hate looking at my hair doing weird flippy things during a Zoom meeting.Continue reading “quarantine blogging: the days all blend together”
