I’m not sure if anyone else thinks “Have I gone too far?” as much as I do in regard to really insignificantly small actions. But I do enjoy the thought of my former keyboard’s space bar being in the ninth circle of hell. I never let my inability to draw hold me back either. Yeah, […]

Mice and Men and the Rest of Us
Today in Quarantine Life and the Search for Meaning, Purpose and Income, I’m reflecting on my tragic history with fish as pets and it’s impeding me from buying another one. Now that Wisconsin is again “open,” despite the state setting consecutive daily records on the number of new coronavirus cases, I’m again considering buying a […]
Looking for a Good time? Me Too.
Wellity. Got my MRI results. Ugh… lots of white matter lesions 😬 BUT there aren’t any more lesions than there were in 2015, when I had my last brain scan. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo… I received the nicest call from my new neurologist’s nurse who I speak to almost daily and… well, it’s comforting that we don’t know […]
Brain Scans and Your Average Medical Male Monster
Holy cats. This blog post focuses on the monster who was my former neurologist and THE MONSTER CALLED ME WHEN I WAS WRITING THE FIRST DRAFT. Therefore, I have some LIVE ACTION news in this blog post. Exciting! But I’m getting ahead of myself. Right. So I’m an epileptic. Been epileptic since I was twelve. […]
Some Americans Suddenly Realize Coronavirus Is Not Fake News
My husband and I went to get tested for coronavirus a few weeks ago at a south side National Guard testing site located in the parking lot of a Milwaukee community job center. The attraction was how this site was free, a drive-thru and also did not require an appointment. And it was a remarkably […]
Remembering Winter and My Smashed, Broken Robot Friend
Living in Wisconsin, everyone is on their last legs by the time March rolls around due to the intense and extended darkness and cold. Stiff and frozen, we idealize warmer temperatures and dreamily look forward to grilled food, sunshine, fresh air, backyard parties and summer activities. Of course, this year none of that has been […]
Dog or Gremlin
Tuesday marked the 13th year my husband and I have been legally married. Through thick and thin, we have remained married. And now we are older. I should be a writer for Hallmark, I know. And, once we thought about it, since we dated for 5-6 years, we have been together FORFUCKINGEVER. Love him. But […]
Networking Epileptic on Edge of Death Feeling Genuinely Cared For
Woohoo! Today I had my appointment with the new neurologist who I was only able to see thanks to a friend who pulled in a favor with a prominent neurologist who then made the connection and… networking may not get me employment but it got me the best neurologist I’ve had in perhaps forever! And […]
Rats
Shit happens. When your shorts fall down, pull them up, be grateful to have pants and get on to cleaning up the trash and contemplating what the hell you’re doing with your life.
Remembering Nice Interactions in Scottish Society After Poor Interactions in Wisconsin Society
Usually, if I’m feeling bright and cheery, I try to gather it all up to summon the nerve and will to go out and talk to people. I’m remembering this because I had some pretty upsetting interactions with humans recently as, due to a family emergency, I found myself in a small town in Wisconsin […]
Thinking About Other Things Like the Scottish Ferris Wheel From Hell
We lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for three years as I was awarded three years of research funding by the University of Edinburgh. La-dee-dah, I hear you. For the record, Edinburgh is the most visually stunning city I’ve ever seen. When we first got off the double decker bus on South Bridge and looked around it […]
The Outsiders
Our house activity climaxed with my beloved mom’s fight to defy death in her final months battling frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). New things started to happen which didn’t seem particularly paranormal as they involved tangible, organic creatures who were simply behaving oddly. Specifically, the animals started to mobilize. By this point, we had lived in our […]
