This is going to be one of the hardest posts I’ve ever written because I’m going to write it entirely with my thumbs. I left my laptop charger at my sweetheart’s house this morning and my computer only lasts about 10 minutes on a full charge, so there it is. There’s this thing that happens […]

Panic attacks are a part of our landscape, hardly memorable in their banality.

I would be considered magical if I was surrounded by mice that knew how to sew or birds that helped me bake pies. I’m just like that but with totally useless dogs. Magical AF.
Before going to bed BF asked me if I wanted to go to Santa Fe with him. He is friends with a couple who are world class tango instructors and performers and wants to introduce me to them. I would love a change of scenery and a little NRE. I haven’t been to Santa Fe […]
