Enjoying life more and worrying less — sort of. Time Standing Still It’s been around three months since the pandemic hit my state and everything closed down with shelter in place orders. It feels like it has been a year. Since I am an essential employee, nothing has changed for me. I still…

Remember that before you post, “I’m bored at home,” when it’s really “I’m safe at home.” I’m annoyed. I’m pissed. I’m thankful. And I’m jealous. All at the same time. I can’t take it anymore. Rant incoming… I’ve about had it with all the posts I’ve been seeing on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram about people being “sooo bored at home,” because “this quarantine needs…

A simple hack with 2 items (plus pants) when you need it most. Stress sucks. It sucks, even more, when it makes your body give you shingles. Don’t know what those are? It’s the same virus that creates chickenpox but the lesions only appear on one side of your body…

Time to nut up or shut up! Yes… I just finished watching Zombieland Double Tap, and it was just as great as the first that came out a decade ago. In the movie, Zombieland, one of the main characters, Tallahassee likes to say “nut up or shut up” and it’s…

Pissing off your employees by treating them like thieves. I hate time clocks. I hate clocking in and out for my workday and lunches. It makes me feel like a child where every moment is tracked and you have to ask permission to leave your desk for a potty break…

Want a seat to yourself? You get the worst viewing angle. Several of the theaters in my area have been revamped with the new fancy seating that seems to have taken off in droves these days. Comfortable seats for movies that are now sometimes 3 hours are great! Except when…

Watching others do what you were meant to do (but aren’t) is heartbreaking. I’ve thought about the concept of “resistance” and the concept of “jealousy” a lot these past few years. Separately though, never together. Until now. Making art or even enjoying art wasn’t part of my life growing up…
