Here’s my Tuesday truth: my brain is soup. Not a bisque. Not even a nice gazpacho. Actually, I don’t like gazpacho. But that’s besides the point. Back to the point at hand. My brain on soup. Just lukewarm, slightly over-salted cognitive broth simmering under this June sun. It’s […]
It’s Monday. Again.But this one feels… oddly quiet. Suspiciously still. The kind of quiet where you wonder if you missed a memo. A mass text. A cosmic “Out of Office” notification. This past week, I’ve noticed something. Or rather, I’ve not noticed something.People. Where are they? The commuter […]
It’s Sunday afternoon and the world is… spinning. Or maybe it’s just the ceiling fan. Spinning slow, like it knows something I don’t. Each blade slicing the air with lazy indifference, casting shadowy little flickers on the wall like a low-budget film noir. It feels like I’m in […]
We’re living in the era of boundaries. Personal boundaries. Professional boundaries. Emotional, digital, energetic, gluten-free boundaries. Everywhere I turn, someone is gently (or not so gently) reminding me to “set healthy boundaries.” Boundaries are the new kale. Essential. Good for you. Sometimes hard to swallow. Actually, I severely […]
I did something wild recently. I treated myself (and dragged along the family) into a blazing pit of danger, peril, and foam blocks. Yes, I played The Floor is Lava. Now, let me confess something upfront: I have the coordination of a distracted toddler trying to walk on […]
There are days when your brain decides to clock out before your body does. Today was one of those days. I was exhausted. So bone-tired that I couldn’t tell the difference between highbrow, lowbrow, and absolutely no-brow TV. Enter: Trainwreck: The Poop Cruise. Yes. That is what I […]
Well folks, it’s not even July and the heat has already come in like a sweaty wrecking ball. That’s right Miley! The kind of heat that seeps into your bones and short-circuits your brainwaves. You know it’s bad when the street pigeons are panting and the corner bodega […]
Which slice of me will you get today? Will you catch the breeze or the blaze?Will I simmer or will I scorch?Will I laugh mid-sentence or pause long enough to make you squirm?I don’t always know myself which version will slip out first. Maybe today, I’m a little […]
Let me just say this real quick before my eyelids fully give up on this day and slide down my face like melted mascara: I am tired. Capital T. Italics. Possibly in another font entirely. I woke up today with a long to-do list and the resolve of […]
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? The other day, I did something wild. At least, wild by grown-up, semi-caffeinated, city-living standards. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Not bucatini with veal ragu. Not handmade tagliatelle with a saffron foam. Just good ol’ spaghetti. Red […]
