I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I'd like to sit and cry, but I don't even have the emotional capacity to do so today. I can't remember the last time I felt so incredibly deadened. I've spent an enormous chunk of my life taking care of others, being the dutiful daughter, being responsible and … Continue reading Exhausted
Pieces Of Me
Another One Bites The Dust
At approximately 9:00 this morning, I submitted a completed, edited manuscript back to my current client. Ten days, four revisions, and I am DONE. I felt incredibly exhilarated by that. I think it is, by far, the fastest I have edited in a while, but factoring in that everyone gives me projects with different word … Continue reading Another One Bites The Dust

Remember That People Who Know…
Sometimes people over-estimate their comfort level with me and say the most heinous things, all under the guise of "friendship" and/or "honesty". It's something I have absolutely no respect for. I am taking a "sick day" today to work through that because no one deserves to receive my work when I'm pissed off to the … Continue reading Remember That People Who Know…

There Is A Place…
In Memory of my Uncle, who passed away suddenly three years ago. Today would have been his 62nd birthday. If anyone lived life to the fullest and gave with his whole heart, it was him. He was my guide post for so much in my life, and for that I will forever be grateful. RMP … Continue reading There Is A Place…
