it’s fine… everything is fine

This photo was taken just 5 days ago… ignorance was bliss at 7:30pm on Monday. You would think, with all of this time I have on my hands not commuting to work each day, that I’d have all of the time in the world for hilarious, life changing blog posts. The same could probably be […]

i did it

Today, on whoeverknows day of COVID-19, I completely overhauled my resume. I’ve been trying my very best to find jobs either within my industry or somewhat connected to my industry. But let’s be honest. Events/venues/hospitality is the most missed but farthest out of reach industry in all of this. It’s not coming back tomorrow. Or […]

occupying oneself

I had to look that up. Occupying oneself. Surely I’m not the only one who will type something out that I don’t hesitate to say only to second guess that I’ve been saying it correctly all along. Turns out I was. I dodged that bit of embarrassment I suppose. I recently joked that I have […]

start with one step

I hit the trail again today. I’ve been dabbling in getting back to a regular jogging/running routine since COVID sent us all home. I’ve walked… walked a little, walked a lot, didn’t walk… but I haven’t picked up the pace. I’m very good at blaming my lack of activity on my lack of activity. “I […]

cake as a metaphor

I made a Dr. Pepper cake yesterday. Like so many things right now, it just didn’t pan out. I think you could sum up what I’ve been experiencing since april just one, big, Dr. Pepper cake from a cooking blog I have yet to vet… or rather, I had yet to vet. I’ve vetted it […]

in step

I’m taking it back a bit with this post. Back to a time that seems so long ago. Things were simple then. Children played in the street. We went out to eat. I’d lean in to hear a secret from our favorite bartender without fear of contracting the dreaded C word. We’re taking it back […]

behind the lines

(if my thoughts about this time see a bit disjointed, hang with me, I have a plan for all of these) It’s strange. During this time we have front lines. We have essentials. We have WFH. We have furloughed. We have unemployed. I’m one of the unemployed. This isn’t hard for me to say, so […]

with purpose

I’m a driven person. Is that a thing? To be driven? I think so. When you drive, you have a starting point and an end point. There is purpose to the drive. To get from here to there. The same could be said for anything I do to keep busy. Yes, even with mindless television. […]

blog post graveyard

It’s funny, I have 5 draft posts. 5 masterpieces all sitting unpublished. 5 well crafted write ups of my thoughts during this strange time. 5 super depressing, very unlike me, narratives that I don’t dare post. Not now. Not ever. So maybe it’s less funny and more sad? I love writing. I love coming up […]

it should come as no surprise

Clearly I’m the kind of person who needs something to do with some kind of accomplishment in the end to make it through the day. I can hang on the couch and watch tv ALL day from time to time (watching Tiger King in one day was kind of a COVID-19 accomplishment of mine) but […]
