Yesterday I learned a new acronym:

Living in a bubble
Disclaimer: I’m feeling sorry for myself. Don’t be rude or obnoxious in the comments, I’ll block you. None of my self-absorbedness in this post means I’m not anxious or active in other, more important things going on in my family, community and beyond. This post isn’t a tally of what I do for others; I don’t feel like justifying myself to anyone today. This is my blog and today, this is what flows out of my head and into my keyboard. Sorry not sorry.

Some days I feel like I’m living inside a bubble.
I don’t mean to imply the bubble is an isolated, lonely entity of solitude, because there isn’t much of that despite still staying home most of the time. I just mean the lack of external obligations has me more isolated than usual, and for longer than usual. Continue reading “Living in a bubble”
Pondering pseudonyms and alter egos
Would it surprise you to read I have never listened to a Beyoncé song? I mean, on purpose. Her music is played here and there and everywhere, so she’s kind of hard to miss. 😉
Typically I’m a classic rock kinda gal, with some 80s and 90s soft rock or even a bit of pop thrown in.
I mention Beyoncé because a friend of mine brought her up the other day. Actually, she referred to her as Sasha Fierce. I had to google this name. I didn’t know what she was talking about.
Step back to propel forward
It was within the last year or so I created some mantras as a reminder to stay focused.
I’ve been struggling with focus recently, so I figured a revisit to my mantras was due.
There are two that deserve mention today.
Questions about blogging: Are you as curious as I am?
A lot has happened in my life recently that I typically don’t divulge on the blog. I could write about it, and in some instances, I may at some point. But writing is a strange creature, to me. My writing mindset has to be *on*. Plus it feels like my words need to rattle around in my brain a little before I can type them out and hurl them into the social internet.

The She Shed dream
I was driving with my daughter in the passenger seat yesterday when I saw it. Continue reading “The She Shed dream”
Inquiring minds want to know – 8 questions
Who wants to play? Let’s start with 8 questions:
- What is the first action you take when you feel out of control?
- What do you fear most?
- If given a chance to rebel against something, what would it be?
- Are you by nature a jealous person; why or why not?
- What is your favorite type of weather?
- Do you see yourself blogging for the foreseeable future?
- What is one thing you’ve always wanted to try and what has held you back from trying it?
- You have been given 6 months and an unlimited budget: where do you want to go and what do you want to do there?
I will post my own answers tomorrow.
Contessa of the Semicolon
Never have I ever been called Contessa before.
Until today. 😊
Here’s how that came about:
Home-made, hand-sewn masks
My mom sewed us some masks. Continue reading “Home-made, hand-sewn masks”
Fresh start
I woke up this morning intent on finishing part iii of my Derailment series (part i, and part ii) and decided…nah.
I’m sick to death of that topic.
Doesn’t mean I won’t finish it at all; I just need a break. It’s about writing and the challenges I faced during my climb out of the abyss in getting words out of my head and onto a screen. I love writing about writing…even if my actual writing is nothing but drivel. 😉
But that post can wait.
Instead I flipped a switch in my brain to get out of this funk. Seeing sun in the sky on the horizon helps. Several other things attributed to this change in mental focus as well: Continue reading “Fresh start”
