Ugh.

I'm having one of those days. Or weeks. Or time periods, let's say. Work has me frazzled. I'm on the go 8-plus hours a day at the office, then I go home and just want to sleep. I'm too tired to knit. I'm too tired to even veg on the couch. I haven't done true exercise in who knows when.

Part of the problem is that the work I'm doing at the office is new to me. So it's like I've started a new job and have so much to learn. Everything takes 4 times longer than it should to complete. Plus, it's not very much fun, which doesn't help matters.

I know it'll get better, probably sooner rather than later. I need to ride the wave. Easier said than done. I know that getting some exercise would help my mood. I need an exercise buddy and/or I need to do something that I'm interested in. I burned myself out on spin class and running.

GRRRRRRR. I'm grumbly. I admit it. I surrender.

So, I Changed My Mind

More than four years ago, the blog and I parted ways. I needed a change. A whole lot happened in my world since then. I switched jobs a couple times. My kid went from an elementary school tween to a teenage high schooler. We built a new house and moved. Both my parents and my sister have passed. The world around me changed as well. Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
