Thanks

I appreciate everyone's words of support. I really do. But no matter what sort of pep talking people do, it doesn't change the following:

- Every time I have to answer my work phone, I have to let it ring three or four times so I can clear my throat and blow my nose and try not to sound like I've been crying for an hour.

- I feel like throwing up. All the time.

- I'd rather be just about anywhere but in my office.

- 9 hours is a horribly long time to be somewhere you don't want to be.

- My therapy session isn't until Friday. But I need her now.

- Life is feeling pretty pointless at the moment.

Is there something you can focus on that makes you happy? Or are you swamped? Because when I have felt like that, the best thing for me to do is escape in any way I can. Like... with music, or photos, or what have you. Just a thought. Hang in there! You can do it!

I'm sorry.

Amy, when the world gave me more than my fair share of absolute CRAP, I focused on Jackson (but I also crawled under the covers when I felt like it). I pray that God will give you peace, light, strength, and focus.

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
