Joy

I write this with joy in my heart. A tired joy, comfortable and welcome. I set everything aside yesterday and played hooky from work (using up leave time) to spend the day sans phone and any responsibilities with my son. I can get too caught up in my goals, keeping the house clean, walking the […]

This is Halloween…

Welp, it’s November people, and that means NaNoWriMo is upon us. If you think I don’t blog much normally, November can be…empty. But it’s a good place to ‘report’ on my goals (my blog! me!) so here goes, as I sit on a really squeeky morning train:  Only ran once last week out of the […]

Up and away!

Spring has arrived & with it my driving need to do all the things, every day, all at once. The longer days also bring with the increased energy to get more done-not all the things, but more than Winter Jamé feels like bothering with. Riding, hiking, DMV, house cleaning & writing all in the same […]

It’s always something

I wasn’t quite sure where to start this post, or more like journal entry, but stream of consciousness has usually been my go to, so here goes…      This week I turned 27, which compared to most of my coworkers leaves me the baby of the office. And yet I don’t feel like a […]
