    Is it Burnout or am I Disappearing Again?

    Yesterday was a super good day. My sister and my mom came over and had lunch with Will’s mom (Martha) and I. Martha has a really nice house that she and her husband built in 2001 when they (she) decided she was tired of moving and even if Bill (her husband) had to travel for… Read more

    Once Upon a Time in ’94

    I filed for divorce today. I thought I would be happier about it, but it’s kind of sad. Like a small little death that I knew was coming but didn’t actually think it would ever get here. I got married in 1994. I was barely an adult and he was even younger. We were stupid… Read more

    Ch..Ch…Ch..Ch..Changes….

    My brother in law, B, died and now I live in Knoxville again. This is probably going to be a long one to get you all caught up. If you’ve been around for a while, you were probably aware that Will’s brother came to live with us for a bit in 2019. We found him… Read more
