Sunday Victories
Today I am feeling good that Kamala Harris is our next Vice President. It makes me really, really happy. She is a strong woman and I truly believe that our country needs strong women in leadership right now. Strong backs, soft fronts, wild hearts.

The Stupidity Paradigm
As predicted By me The Tucson Unified School District Once again Ditched their plans For hybrid learning Days before the start. I am glad that they changed Their plans. What I don’t understand Is why they insist on Pursuing this course of action In obviously unsafe times.

Why I’m not at work today
Short answer – mental health and self love Longer answer – I need to take a day off and show myself some quiet love to be a healthier person. The fact that I feel the need to justify it, is part of the problem.

Bye, Bye June
It’s the third of July and I am relishing the couple more hours of quiet time I have before picking up my child from day camp. I always hope to have the energy to write at night, but I haven’t felt that recently. Just a whole lot of stress about working with the public during…
