God I love your perspective on this!  I am so inspired by your ability to see your patterns and change them.  Seriously.  This is major work you have done on yourself and it’s paying off.  I need to take this into my own life!

Sounds like therapy did help! You made the right call! If he’s acting like that, while he’s supposed to be working and being professional, he clearly has boundary issues. Even the other students can see it! That is just all kinds of messy. Good for you for recognizing that and getting out, not to mention getting away…

Redwood national park is way the heck away from anything.

Just got back from Zion National park (also went to Bryce National Park). Now I really want to go to them all! I did Yellowstone and Grand Canyon as a kid and don’t really remember. Death Valley and Joshua Tree are really close and I can’t believe I haven’t been there. I’d love to see the Redwoods, and there are a few…

The most important thing that happened this week is that Darwin made a friend. Her name is Holly, and she will be coming with her person to my brother’s apartment a few days a week to keep Darwin company since everyone is back working and going to school onsite.

It’s been forever since I’ve posted on SNS. Any fellow teachers out there? We’re starting back on Wednesday, and I’m both excited for a full days without Zoom, and wary because I don’t want a repeat of last year when two of my students lost a parent.

Wow... that’s a bit depressing. But hey we’re here so might as well make the most of it, I guess. 

I’m going to the pool on Monday, and if you dive right in, it’s less cold than trying to get in slow. It’s freezing, this unheated pool water in the mountains. I miss heated pools so much. I swam for years and years at my gym. And Tuesday I have Rolfing! I got Rolfed years ago, and it was one of the best things I’ve…

I split my time between Long Beach and Denver/Bailey, and you might be surprised about the weather. While I left my big, BIG winter coat in the mountains, it’s not a bad idea to have just a plain big one in SoCal. My in-laws dragged me to the Naples Boat Parade a number of years back and I froze my ass off, it was…

I have time on my hands, with no children to worry about and a job I can stop thinking about as soon as I leave.

I’m sure Sally Rooney doesn’t mind the great wads of money her ‘fame’ is bringing her.

Shelter Cat Update!

If anyone needs a conservatorship...

He will literally do ANYTHING but seek counseling, therapy or help to help him deal with his mother’s death (which he clearly never processed in a healthy manner) because its so much easier to view yourself as some sorta messiah surrounded by yes men.

I wish I could remember what site it was, but I have seen details of his living arrangements after his first release party. It’s simply a twin bed, pushed against a wall, in a small room. It looked very dormitory or makeshift for sure, nothing luxurious as one would expect from an artist selling $30 hotdogs.

I wasn’t too on board with Kim Kardashian as an enabler but her tweeting this messianic bullshit during divorce procedures has changed my mind.

You’re right. Let’s yet again thank Trump for this--  https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/obama-team-left-pandemic-playbook-for-trump-administration-officials-confirm

The phrase “curated experience” really bothers me. Like, instead of having a good time, a bunch of marketers and planners got together to plan and craft an expected outcome to create a feeling and build equity in their brand. Which just all sounds like illusory bullshit to get you to think you want to buy something.…

What am i missing here? Why is a fitness teachers wedding important to people?
