I want to write the words
But there's just so much life happening all the time. We're trying to sell the house. It's not going well. Summer vacation. Kids are almost 12 almost 10 and 4 now. I should detail more of their lives but Facebook is easier. Friend me? -
&it stoned me
Brookside is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I've ever seen in person or even on television, it's laid out in swirls and groves and I'd argue quite poorly planned in general, the sections are in places labeled alphabetically and in others by number, and in some places by both. I've spent many hours driving around looking through it, searching ( Read more... ) -
Sigh.
So today I have tried: B vitamin complex, iron, inositol, magnesium, vitamin e, valerian root, chamomile, peppermint, ginger and aspirin to deal with this whole PVC/palpitation/panic attack crap. With pretty much no result. But the doc won't get to say I didn't try everything. I can't reach for the benzos till I'm off of solo parenting duty ( Read more... ) -
Cookie
I fold the pajama pants you gave her just before she turned six, just before you left. They're basically shorts now, hanging against her scuffed 9 year old knees, the matching top she passed down to her baby sister some months back. They've slowly stopped talking about you, the transformation from disbelief to anger to nothingness. I don't ( Read more... ) -

LJI Friends and Rivals Episode 4: The Death of the Penny
The penny died off up here some years back, the Canadian mint declared it cost more to make a penny than one was worth. I'm not sure what the exact logic was when they went from $1 bills to coins as that was before my awareness of money, and when the $2's became coins, well that was just a giant joke all around, but that's what we tend to be with ( Read more... ) -
Everyone in my house is asleep
Drinking wine on my couch for 5 minutes in silence never seems as bad an idea at midnight as it then feels at 8 o'clock the next morning. I don't do this often; I know better.
It's not that I didn't know you were an alcoholic when I married you; it's just that I didn't know I wasn't. -
Abusers don't advertise; why that Christmas card isn't funny.
If talk of domestic violence and violence against children upsets you (and it should) then this post will probably upset you. Consider this your content warning.
So my friend Darlena wrote an awesome piece for Time on that Christmas card that pissed off half the internet. But here's my issue with it (the card, not her piece which was nice), which ( Read more... ) -
LJI Friends and Rivals Episode 1 - Trust Everyone, but Cut the Cards
Johnny kicked nervously at the sandy grit on the edge of sidewalk, blowing into his hands and rubbing them together, he stared at his feet. March was a miserable time of year this far north, all dirt and melting snow. Everything looked grey and bleak. The park was situated down by the river, well treed and poorly lit just like Sam had said it would ( Read more... )
